Four Little BeansJohn Ramsay & Victor FarelliExcerpt from the foreword: Unless I am mistaken, the routine explained in this modest little volume is the first sleight of hand trick I learned. I was then at school - over sixty years ago - and as I have been performing it constantly ever since, I have had, obviously, a lot of practice! Although I have always done the trick fairly well, I have added, quite recently, a number of improvements which make it, I think, a routine not unworthy of the attention of any close-work magician. Broadly speaking, it is similar in effect to the Chinese Marble Trick described by Edwin Sachs in... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
The Dirty DealerJules Lenier & B. W. McCarronAn entertaining close-up effect where you attempt to teach the spectator how to "dirty deal", but always goes wrong when the spectator tries.

The performer explains how he sent away for a mail order course in dealing cards. He offers to teach a spectator how to do it, offering a money-back guarantee. The spectator can't seem to follow directions, even though the performer... | $6 to wish list | |
