As he shuffles a deck of playing cards, the magician talks about how cards and numbers have been used for centuries to predict the future and how it translates into his art. He writes down two predictions on the face of a random card and tables it face down. He grabs the deck and deals the cards two by two — top and bottom card together. At the stop of the spectator, he removes and tables the two selections.

Then, he reveals what he wrote on the prediction card: "27" and "35". The spectator combines the value of one selection (eg: 5 of Clubs) with the suit of the other one (eg: Queen of...

Unpacking Dai Vernon's Pact

When Vernon's trick appeared, its puzzling aspect centers on the fact that the spectator chooses one of three cards and the one chosen changes into his selection. In other words, the spectator is permitted to make two decisions. He selects any card. Then he selects one-of-three cards, which changes into his selection. It is essentially a quickie.

Two rare and long forgotten secrets are revealed again. You do not have to be a medium to produce spirit raps. Devin Knight has compiled two of the easiest ways to produce spirit raps ever devised. If you do any type of question and answer act, then the spirits can rap out the answers. This is unnerving to those watching. Imagine walking into any place there is a table. You sit at the table and have two people on both sides hold your hands or wrists so you can't use them. They can also put their shoes on your shoes so you can't use your feet. Under these conditions you manifest spooky raps that...

Here is a straight forward effect which is enabled by a clever gimmick. You ask somebody to think of any one of the five ESP symbols.

You will be able to show that you wrote down the same symbol.

• You are not limited to the ESP symbols. Any other small number of symbols, numbers, etc. can be used.
• The notepad is gimmicked. It can be shown but not handed out.

Next, the spectator shuffles and cuts the cards and selects any five. These face-down cards are laid onto the table. The performer need not touch the cards once they are tabled. The performer then proceeds to read the spectator's fortune, based on the meaning of the cards that she...

The best magic that you're not doing. This brand new eBook is a road map to great magic you already own...

For several years, the last item in my occasional Newsletters was a 'Hidden Gem' - a killer, overlooked trick that's already published somewhere; a book, magazine, eBook, blog or very occasionally a commercial release. Never from a DVD or video download. These are tricks that define the very concept of 'hidden in print'. In each entry I list the trick, where you can find it, why I love it and why you should look it up. I always describe the effect, occasionally the presentation, but never...
