Gaukelwerk with CardsDr. Hans-Christian SolkaA new, potentially faster, method to clock a deck of cards. 'Clocking' a deck of cards means applying some kind of counting method to identify one card that has been removed from the deck.

The first to identify the value of the card, and the second to identify the suit. The key in making this method deceptive is to be very fast in your counting, which is dependent on the details of the counting procedure. Dr. Solka offers a new method,... | ★★★★★ $25 to wish list | |

Charlie Miller's method that was published in Expert Card Technique in 1940, more or less branded his name on it, but seven year earlier Victor Farelli published a modified version ("The Partagas Sell") in Farelli's Card Magic.

Tickling TekelJon RacherbaumerFrom the Introduction: The purpose of this compilation is to incentivize and "tickle" students to reexamine the Mene-Tekel deck and reconsider its possibilities. This has been done before and as recently as 2003 when Chris Wardle (via Paul Hallas) published a 27 page booklet titled Investigating the Mene-Tekel Deck (Magic's Forgotten Trick Deck). ...

Speeding BulletsJon RacherbaumerA survey of the seven-card assembly. This ebook is a survey of the Seven-Card Assembly, a subcategory of Ace Assembly. Its name due to the number (7) of principal cards used, which makes it different from other Ace Assemblies.

In a Seven-Card Assembly three X-cards are added onto only three of the Aces. The Leader Ace lies alone. This reduces the duration it takes to set the stage. Then the four Aces... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |
