THE REAL PREMONITION - My take on Eddie Joseph's famous Premonition effect, which eliminates all calculations through the use of a devilish "prompter list", which is in full view but can't be seen. Also, in my version the freely chosen card (which is the only card missing in the deck) is predicted in a letter in a sealed envelope! For the gimmick you get the printing templates which can be found at the end of the PDF.

REVERSE TAKE - The most convincing "take" with a thumb tip possible. This one will fool even the experts, guaranteed. It will take some time until you get this down, because it works completely against...

CONTENTS:

• ROPE, HANDKERCHIEF AND RING MYSTERY (Ken de Courcy): A handkerchief is draped over the center of a piece of rope which is tied over the handkerchief. The whole thing is given to a spectator to hold. A ring is vanished and it appears knotted on the center of the rope.
• AN E.V.T.V. PREDICTION (Arthur Carter): A method to predict basically anything you want: Names, places, cards, etc. The principle can be used for many other routines.
• DICE CHOICE (W. Rory Coker): Two ESP cards are removed as predictions and two are selected by a spectator. These symbols match your predictions.
• WHIRL (Aldo Colombini):...

CONTENTS:

• SYMPATHETIC JOKERS (Steve Cook): Two blue-backed Jokers placed in different part of the deck, come together in the middle. A selected card appears between them and at the end, their backs become red.
• KARDCOINCIDENCE (Alfred Gabriel): A very unique way to reveal a selected card, where a miniature card duplicate of the selection appears glued to a coin previously shown on both sides.
• A BLANK SANDWICH (John Yeager): A selected card is placed on the table. Two Jacks are shown and the selected card appears between them. The card on the table is now blank.
• RISING CARD (Carlos Corda):...

MY MAGIC SQUARE - I worked a long time to get together my "perfect" magic square. This one is different, because on the back of the card, where you make the grid, the square is predicted in big bold letters! A very good number force is described that has been long time underground and that can be used in many other effects as well. I always carry this one with me in my wallet and it has never ceased to really amaze people. [Note: In order to perform this magic square effect you will either need E-Z Square 4 by Werner Miller or Patterns of Perfection Revisited by Sam Dalal.

HOFZINSER IN MY WALLET - A very convincing and bold "card to wallet". NO palming whatsoever. Based on ideas by Peter Duffie and Chip Kleiman. I took the original...

PAPER DARTS - This is the routine I've kept back. You stand on stage with a folded paper dart. Spectators decide on a three digit number. The dart is thrown into the audience and the audience member catching it brings it to the stage. The paper dart is opened and on it is PRINTED in big bold letters the chosen number! NO nail writing or whatsoever, the method will make you laugh. Completey "out-of-the-box" thinking here. Hopefully, only a few magicians will go into the troubles making this one up.

HOPA-GIMMICK - This can be made up withing minutes and enables you to force two cards as convincingly...

This issue deals with the kind of tricks Pat Page would have loved and performed. Therefore it is dedicated to him. Here the contents:

STAB IN THE DARK - A card stab routine, where you stab (underneath a silk) into the deck and hit the mate of a spectator's selected card.

SIMPLE MISRES DREAM - This gimmick enables you to do a perfect coin catch without any sleight of hand! Can be applied to many other things as well.

POOR MANS RINGFLIGHT - The easiest ringflight with an unprepared leather key case. This is really for the working performer and perfect for table hopping.

GAELIC SWITCH - My...

In this issue, I go into great detail for my version of the routine "Cards Through Newspaper", an effect which was popularized by the great Albert Goshman in his professional act.

CARDS THROUGH NEWSPAPER - I taught this version to Doc Eason years ago. Here is the complete description with all the details (for you, Doc!). Doc told me that he showed the routine to Eric Mead and Eric had some nice words for it, means, he liked it. Four cards (any four cards, signed or unsigned) penetrate a sheet of newspaper one at a time. This is a worker's version, no duplicates, preparation or anything. You...

It's a pleasance to introduce the fourth issue of volume three of TGM that is full of informative and mattering to reading - literally.
