If you do a search online for billet switching apparatus, you will come across a variety of devices the majority of which seem to be boxes of different shapes and sizes ranging from cardboard to perspex and antiqued oak. Some of these boxes are ingenious, some extremely expensive and...

Invisibly switch a folded playing card (bill, cash, sugar pack, ...) against another right in front of their eyes.

Destined to be in your EDC (everyday carry). A real crowd-pleaser. A perfect close-up and table-hopping effect. A very fast, angle-proof, and up-close transformation with spectator involvement. Not a thumb-tip. This effect uses a homemade gimmick that most homes would have. The gimmick takes about five minutes to make. Both playing cards can be inspected.

You can also change bills, billets, cash a check, change sugar to sweeten low, etc.

Absolutely incredible misdirection...

The spectator removes one card from a full face-up deck and places it into an envelope. This happens while the mentalist turns his back so that he can't see which card the spectator chooses. The remaining deck is gathered and turned face-down by the spectator. The envelope is closed and shown from both sides to demonstrate that nothing can be seen through the envelope. Then the envelope is placed by the spectator inside another envelope.

The mentalist then reads the spectators mind to reveal the card that is inside the envelope. Larry has come up with a nice presentation. He doesn't simply...

This is a nicely flowing no frills tabled false cut.

To do the tabled faro perfectly - a 26/26 weave - is very hard to achieve consistently. However, often you only need to faro a portion of the deck and not the entire deck. A partial tabled faro is relatively easy to learn.

A move developed by Ed Marlo where you steal the top card while squaring up a deck that is resting on the table. This can also be used as a color change if the deck is face up on the table. And Allan also let's you in on Eddies 'Nickle Color Change' where a nickle is placed on the face up deck. Nevertheless the card changes instantly leaving the nickle on the deck. This one is guaranteed to fool magicians.

Show any design you want on the card by simply lightly burning it with a lighter. When you pick a card and burn it, it will usually leave black streaks on the cards, but with Tattoos on Cards, black streaks will transform into any design of your choice: an image of a chosen card, a heart or your signature, a short message, ...

This effect is possible due to a simple gimmick you can quickly make at home. (No gimmick is included with this download.) There are many more ways to use this gimmick. Peter explains a variety of effects and ways to use it.

Then you fan the remaining four cards and all the blank faces have changed to a royal flush, an ace, king, queen, and jack. The ten completing the royal flush. As a final climax all cards are turned face down and they all have different colored backs.

The ace through 10 of Diamonds are inserted into the pack, each card at a different location. The deck is shuffled and then Michael produces each card one by one in different ways using pop out moves, cuts, and other flourishes.

This is an improvement of an effect popularized by Eddie Fechter. However Eddie produced each card the same way using the gymnastic ace production from the Paul LePaul book.

Be prepared to receive a good dose of Tommy Wonder's clever magical thinking. Critically hailed as the best "Card in Box" ever created. Tommy shares all of the intricate details of this powerful routine, including the incredible "Two Second Card Fold", where you fold the the card three times into 1/8 of its original size. This is how magic is meant to look.

Tommy Wonder thinks about every minute detail. For example

• What is the perfect size of the box?
• How should the hinge operate?
• What to do when a spectator stares at your hands while you want to perform a move?
• And many more insights...

The deck is shuffled by the performer and then cut several times by the spectator. After, the spectator cuts the deck into four packets totally at random. No force. The magician will be able to divine not only the cards above but also the cards at the bottom of each packet. All this with a normal deck of cards. No marked cards. Instant reset.
