Picked-Up Pieces and Borrowed Bits by Jon Racherbaumer

Oddities and weirdness to show uncle Ezra, cousin Ozzie, and the boys in the band.

  • Simple-Simon Copper-Silver / Edward Marlo: An English penny and an American half-dollar are examined by a spectator and then the magician performs several transpositions. Afterwards, the coins are returned to the spectator for inspection.
  • Short Hop / Mark Jenest & Jamy Ian Swiss: A Hopping Half version that can be done with genuine coins for the short-attention-span spectator.
  • Curse Of Nine
  • Knotty Feat
  • Tit-Tat-Toe / Martin Gardner & Costello: A large tit-tat-toe board is drawn on a sheet of paper. The magician and spectator proceed to play a game, but instead of marking the paper they indicate their moves by placing playing cards taken from the top of a nine-card pile. The spectator places his cards face up and the performer places his cards face down. The game ends in a draw, but when all of the cards are turned face up their values form a magic square. That is, the added values total 15 in every direction on the grid.
  • Squiggle Power / Jay Sankey
  • Card Wrap / Peter Kane
  • Please Pass / Roy Walton
  • Open Acrobatics / Roy Walton
