The Extended Tossed Out DeckLuke JermayFrom the introduction: The Tossed Out Deck is an extremely popular and possibly the best neo-classical plot in mentalism. Over the last 15 years, this effect has made its way into the performance repertoire of many mentalists and magicians the world over, seeing a huge surge in popularity, likely due to the number of high profile performers’ personalized versions of the effect, such as Max Maven, Ted Lesley, and Docc Hilford. I, myself, have used the Tossed Out Deck effect to open many stand-up performances, and feel it is genuinely one of the best opening routines for a performance.

The Fairest Hands-Off Open PredictionMike KempnerWould you like to control the physical actions of your spectator, and in the process make an impossible prediction? The beauty of this particular effect is that it is absolutely hands-off and 100% fair. The performer DOES NOT touch the cards once the effect begins. The performer only touches a card case once with the cards inside. Furthermore, the deck of cards can be borrowed. This truly is an astonishing display of skill, as you create a very special hands-off open prediction. You provide (or ask a spectator to provide) 2 decks of cards, one blue and one red. They are both lying flat on... | $4 to wish list | |

The Funniest Three Card Monte in the WorldFerry GeratsThree card monte. Almost no skill. The given presentation guarantees lots of laughs. Why the funniest? Well, here is what happens: The routine starts with a funny joke about a three-card-monte player. The joke conjures up a crazy image in the minds of the audience that elicits huge laughter. The next laugh comes from the fact that the spectator who is invited to play the betting-game is asked to keep track of the odd card while it is clear that the odd card has grown in size and protrudes from the other cards. With the 1st round of the betting-game there comes a laugh when it is clear... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |
The Gambling MagicianB. W. McCarronFrom the Introduction: Within the pages of this volume, the reader will find many effects which may easily be incorporated into a program of exposes, or as part of a manipulative act. None of the effects discussed in the first section require sleights more difficult than the doublelift. Many a performer will want to credit the occurrences to his own skill - even though none is involved. While at no time should the Lecturer attribute the happenings to "magic", a fairly plausible cause is sleight-of-hand. ... Included in Section II of this volume, I have given the reader an illustrated... | $5 to wish list | |
The Gaming Table Volume 2Andrew SteinmetzThis second volume of The Gaming Table is from a magician's point of view much more interesting.

And it also features a surprisingly good chapter on card tricks with explanations for four sleights (false shuffle, false cut, glide, card change) and 18 very nice card tricks. Among them we find a version of the prearranged deck and two person codes. For people interested in Erdnase it is interesting to note that at the beginning of the... | $8 to wish list | |

The Idiot at the Card TableVal AndrewsFrom Val Andrews' introduction: Dear Idiots. . . . Many years ago a man called S. W. Erdnase wrote a book called The Expert at the Card Table. Any similarity between his title and mine is purely intentional. . . . After all, Mister Erdnase re-arranged the letters of my surname to make his! I am not a "card-man", even though I can watch and admire biddies, seconds, tops, bottoms, middles and injogs. I suppose the reason why I don't do these things myself is because I can't! However, I have on occasion got quite a bit of fun out of a pack of pasteboards, and I like to think that my audiences have too! So here are a few stunts,... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

A quiet unassuming chap sat down, took out a pack of cards and within moments, had his audience spellbound. ... When we were discussing the composition of this book, I nominated those tricks which I would like to have and Walt readily and generously agreed to their inclusion.
