    • "Assembly" by Jozsef Kovacs: An ungaffed ace assembly with a kicker wherein three previously selected cards are found reversed in each packet.
    • "Surprise Prediction" by Wolfgang Riebe: The performer offers to demonstrate his ability to force a volunteer into choosing a specific object from among several on a table. While the volunteer isn't looking, the rest of the audience is shown a paper with the name of the object written on it. However, the trick apparently goes awry when the volunteer picks the wrong object. The performer magically fixes the mistake by revealing that the paper now has the wrong object crossed out and the correct object written in its place.
