CasusMichael KociolekA deck of cards is given to a spectator to shuffle, and she's asked to silently think of any number between 1 and 52.

Card MasteryMichael MacDougallMichael MacDougall explains new sleights, new methods of culling and stacking, new bottom steal, and more. Of interest to all card men, magicians and demonstrators. The second part of the book is S.W. Erdnase's seminal work on the art of sleight of hand with playing cards, The Expert at the Card Table. Paul Fleming wrote: To call this book Card Mastery is to adopt the attitude that it is fitting and proper for the tail to wag the dog. For nearly three-fourths of the book consists of a reprint of S. W. Erdnase's great work, The Expert at the Card Table, and only a trifle more than one-fourth is the contribution of Mr. MacDougall. An actual count... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish list | |

Once RemovedMichael Murray & Stephen ShawOnce Removed is a hands-off approach to the think-a-card plot. You will be taught a method for revealing a mere thought of card in an extremely fair manner. There are no peeks or forces, and the deck can be given away after the performance if you so wish. Unlike most handling's, the spectator can truly think of any card, and can do this before the deck is even introduced. The clever principle at play allows you to easily discern the thought of card with very minimal memory work (no more difficult than, say, an "invisible deck"), allowing you to focus fully on presentation. The nature of the... | $30 to wish list | |

Ten PeeksMichael SkinnerThe ace through 10 of Diamonds are inserted into the pack, each card at a different location. The deck is shuffled and then Michael produces each card one by one in different ways using pop out moves, cuts, and other flourishes. This is an improvement of an effect popularized by Eddie Fechter. However Eddie produced each card the same way using the gymnastic ace production from the Paul LePaul book. runtime: 14min 46s | ★★★★★ $6 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
LeftoversMichael SorensenUnfortunately Martin Nash and Michael Sorensen have parted ways. "Nash Reloaded" had to be removed and will not be available anymore. Michael has pulled all his personal contributions from "Nash Reloaded" into a new ebook called "Leftovers". Don't be fooled by the word 'leftovers'. So regrettable the situation between Martin and Michael is, Michael is a very skilled and creative performer in his own right. 1st edtion, 2006; 56 pages

A volunteer comes forward and is handed a stack of 7 or 8 casino chips. The performer takes a deck of cards and removes four cards placing them face down in a row. The volunteer is then asked to place four of the eight chips in a row next to the four face-down cards – four bets, for four hands of blackjack.... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
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 | |
