"Outs" Precautions and ChallengesCharles H. HopkinsThis is truly a hidden gem - a lost treasure. Very few know of its existence and you will encounter almost no references to it. When you read this you will ask yourself: "Why isn't this work known by every cardician?" Some of those who have read it value it as much as they value Erdnase. Others would not trade all card books published in the last 10 years for it. It is an immensely practical work dealing with situations when something goes wrong, or you face difficult spectators. You'll never again be afraid to try out a new trick, even if they literally see what you do, even if they really catch... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |

Oil and Water Delux(Benny) Ben HarrisThis effect appears described briefly, yet adequately, in the Singapore Lecture Notes. This is a more thorough description and is accompanied by clear photographs, making it easier to learn. The routine uses four black cards, and four red cards. Interlaced three times, they always separate. The moves used are smooth and create a lovely illusion. It does not look like sleight of hand, it really looks quite convincing! Heavily based in Marlo's work. 1st edition 1985; 1st digital edition 2009; 18 pages. | ★★★★★ $8.95 to wish list | |

Pasteboard AdventuresDavid GemmellA collection of routines from David Gemmell's working repertoir. Difficulty varies from effect to effect and is in the reach of most magician. From the introduction by Jon Racherbaumer: A few years ago Eugene Burger introduced a useful phrase to Cardopia—one that partially describes what passionate card guys do on a regular basis: to overly indulge themselves in the "antics of the pasteboards." Antics is the apt word because it evokes other defining words: playful, fantastic, theatrical, whimsical… Those who memorialize their personal "antics" realize the nature of their acts. They take notes.... | $20 to wish list | |

S.C-A.R-E.DJamie Daws
For Many years, the "Haunted Deck" effect has been favored and loved by all magicians. The old methods to create this fantastic effect were fiddly and sometimes tricky to perform easily.

What if you had the effect on you all the time as long as you carried a deck of cards? What if there was no gimmick in your... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
