• RINGO (Stephen Tucker): A ring is placed in a cup. The middle of a piece of rope is lowered into the cup and the ring appears on the rope (only one ring used and it can be borrowed).
• DARK REVELATION (Eoin Taylor): A spectacular way to produce a selected card. A deck is covered with a handkerchief. When the handkerchief is removed the card is face up on top.
• VARIATIONS VARIANT (Roger Curzon): This fantastic routine...
