A clean and fast transposition of two poker chips.
Only two poker chips are used - nothing extra is required. This trick is based on an original coin effect by Sol Stone, to whom this ebook is dedicated.
"Love the poker chip transposition. Easy to do and really practical -- it's a good example of why and when to use the Spellbound Change. This is a quick trick I'll use." - Ed Brown

This work builds on Wilker's The Creation of Magic. It is helpful to have read it, but it is not required.
There is a definite mathematical theme running through this ebook. Not that there is any heavy math involved, just that the routines have an underlying mathematical basis. Wilker has a variety of interesting presentations and throw-offs that disguise the mathematics during the performance.
"Methods for Minor Miracles is an enjoyable and worthwhile read." - Stephen Hobbs
Senior centers can be a strong market. They already practice social distancing and are anxious for fresh entertainment. This text identifies changes for these types of show, contact goals when speaking with the Activity Director, and follow-up activities to entice future bookings.
Two semi-automatic ACAANs.
In the main effect, the spectator mentally moves an imagined card into the deck in an imagined position only. All this happens without the mentalist touching the cards and without knowing which card and what number the spectator has thought of.
In the second ACAAN, the spectator generates a random card and number then counts to the generated position and will find the card. All this happens without the mentalist ever touching the cards.
The two effects are very easy to perform and do not require any sleight-of-hand.

It features several mechanical forces in place of Beta Framing including the "Manna Concept" that will be new to many performers.

This is a 'stand-alone' application using a standard book test in a two-phase presentation that can greatly enhance its impact and astonishment. The book test must be of a novel "can be passed out" variety book. This can easily segue into Thrifty or Basic Telempathy. ABAT experience is recommended but not essential.

Any book - any time
This is a 'stand-alone' application for a completely impromptu demonstration using any novel found at the site or provided by a spectator. This has less potential astonishment impact than Thrifty or Basic but gains in the completely "free choice" area. It features the "Teach Posture" and Beta Framing. This approach is an ideal back-up for the other applications and essential for the completely prepared mystic performer.

Questo effetto unisce quello della ripetizione delle sei carte con quello del giornale strappato e ricomposto con una meravigliosa presentazione di Ken De Courcy.
Un quarto di foglio di giornale, viene strappato in sei pezzi. Due pezzi vengono scartati. Quando i pezzi vengono contati, ci sono di nuovo sei pezzi…
Questa volta vengono scartati quattro pezzi. Quando i pezzi rimanenti vengono contati, ci sono di nuovo sei pezzi di carta!
Infine, vengono scartati cinque fogli di carta. Ora nella mano è rimasto solo un pezzo di carta. All'improvviso l'unico pezzo di carta diventa il foglio...
From the preface:
Each of the six chapters of these Lecture Notes contains one routine; but there is no connection between them except that they are all "European". European? Isn't magic international? Of course, there is no specific European or American or Japanese branch of our art. What I mean by European is on a more personal level. I am a Swiss living in England, to be precise in Cornwall, with many friends in my home as well as my adopted country, but also in Germany. Over the years we constantly exchanged ideas on particular tricks and on magic in general. In all my books I used many...

Here's an expanded and updated edition of the second and final Paul Curry manuscript in the series with a pair of powerful effects that'll give you a reputation as an outstanding magician and psychic entertainer. Both of these card miracles exhibit the brilliant methodology that you've come to expect from Paul Curry.
Think Of A Card
A spectator merely thinks of a card. The performer jots down the name of a card. The spectator names his card and the performer shows what he wrote - it's the name of the thought-of card. A clean-cut, logical effect.
Follow-up
This is a variation of the...
Here's an expanded and updated edition of a Paul Curry manuscript that contains not one, but two powerful effects that will give you a reputation as an outstanding magician and psychic entertainer.
Probability Zero
A batch of business cards are numbered and mixed, with their number sides down. A truly sensational climax is reached when a spectator, although he selects the cards at random and doesn't know the numbers on the cards, succeeds in arranging them in numerical order. Is it just chance? Not likely - the odds are over 300,000 to 1 against it.
The Color-Changing Deck
