Feast your eyes on and fry your spectators' brains with six more insanely impossible impromptu card miracles.

TRIP EL REMIX - An amped-up version of a classic triple prediction trick with a major kicker ending. A serious fooler - and best of all, it's entirely self-working.

BIDDLE-ISH - A lean, mean, super-clean "Card Across" effect. You've never seen this spin on a time-tested classic of card magic.

BUT NOT LEAST - A wildly deceptive triple sandwich effect with an eye-popping, in-the-spectators-hands ending.

EAT FRESH - Inspired by the Buck Twins' legendary "Subway" - but you don't...

This is an important improvement of the classic Kruskal principle. Think about this: The spectator can shuffle the deck and you still know exactly where the count will end!

This ebook contains a new principle on Kruskal-counting and illustrates the principle with two effects. The first effect A Bumblebee’s Flight will lead the spectator’s dealing sequence invariably to a known/predicted card, even after a shuffle by the spectator. A version for cards taken out of a sealed box and shuffled twice by spectators is also provided. Performance and explanation videos by Tomas Blomberg are linked...

The Envelopologist - utility envelope switches for the working Mentalist.

In the early 1990's Roy Johnson introduced me to the Shaxon Flap envelope invented by Alan Shaxon and my love affair with the use of envelopes in mentalism began.

Since then I have produced two books, Envelopology parts 1 & 2, along with a couple of videos The Single White Dwarf and The Empty Multiple Out Envelope where the envelopes are the stars, all of which are available here from Lybrary.com.

The Envelopologist is an envelope switch technique I now use in place of the Shaxon Flap envelope and uses small manila wage envelopes rather than standard side opening letter envelopes. It is a very...

In addition to this, the probabilities of dealing target cards, when using a binary marking system, are derived. The use of the second deal in conjunction with stacking techniques is also considered, with a focus on the block transfer. Whilst...
