Ajax TranspositionScott F. Guinn In 1978, Karl Fulves published an excellent book entitled, Transpo Trix. The final item in this manuscript is an unsolved card problem that Mr. Fulves called "Snark Hunt." Here is the description of Mr. Fulves' card problem in his own words:
This is my idea of an ultimate version of the thought-card transposition. You start with a packet of aces and a packet of jacks. One jack is named and one ace is named. The ace packet is picked up. The named ace magically turns face up, but also, it is the only ace in the packet; the other three cards are jacks. It follows that the named jack is found face up... | $10 to wish listPDF |

Cryptology for MoronsScott F. Guinn A selected card vanishes, penetrates a card box, and appears in a sandwich in the cased deck.
Two decks, in their cases, are brought into play. One is red and one is blue. Barry selects one and you hand it to him (we'll assume he chose blue). You take the red deck out of the case and spread it face up and face down to show it is normal before removing the two black jacks. You insert the jacks face-up into two different places in the face-down deck. You then return the red deck to its case and close the case.
Barry removes the blue deck from its case, looks through it, and removes any... | $10 to wish listPDF |

Tri-Optical IllusionScott F. Guinn A triple open prediction.
Tri-Optical Illusion combines Paul Curry's "Open Prediction" plot with John Scarne's "Triple Coincidence," without all the dealing, shuffling, and cutting found in its progenitors.

(If you don't, all the necessary items can be purchased from your favorite dealer for about $13.)
Those who learn and perform this will find it to be a powerful and amazing routine that is a welcome... | $8 to wish listPDF |

Canned DunburyScott F. Guinn A comedy card on seat routine with a twist.
This one is an absolute killer! Scott's Comedy Card on Seat routine uses a different method from the well-known Chuck Fayne or gaffed chair routines. The audience participant joins you up front and sits in an ordinary chair. Then, while you look away, he selects and signs a card, replaces it anywhere he wants in the deck and thoroughly shuffles the deck before returning it to you. After some fun, and very amusing byplay, the card vanishes, followed by a kick-in-the-head moment that NOBODY sees coming, before it is revealed that he is SITTING on... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listPDF |

Guinn's anytime, anywhere coin routine that uses just one coin and nothing else; no extra coins, no tricky coins, no gimmicks, no secret utility devices.

It includes the complete, commercial con man/hustler-themed storyline that will hook your audiences and reel them in.

Positive IncreasesScott F. Guinn Some of the biggest names in magic and mentalism have raved about Assertive Positive Negative, Scott F. Guinn's improvement of Max Maven's "Positive Negative." Luminaries such as Ron Bauer, Richard Busch, Dr. Bill Cushman, and Richard Webster have been effusive in their praise. It would have been perfectly understandable, then, for Scott to have rested on his laurels and let the routine alone.
But Scott felt there was room for improvement, particularly on one part of the handling. For months and months, he tinkered and fiddled with the routine. And finally, much as with the epiphany that birthed APN, a very simple and elegant solution occurred... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listPDF |
VicissitudesScott F. Guinn From the professional repertoire of popular author Scott F. Guinn comes a powerhouse six-phase feature card routine, Vicissitudes.

1. The JH changes into the 10C in midair and then the JH suddenly and visually appears on top of the deck.
2.The 10C is at the face of the deck, the JH inserted, reversed, in the middle. Suddenly the JH is at the face and the 10C reversed in the middle.

You explain that you have a sure-fire way to decide which person in a group enjoying a few drinks should be the designated driver.

A cocky New Yorker claimed he had a new, much more challenging technique for coin snatching, going horizontally rather than vertically. After successfully demonstrating his technique with a stack of quarters, you remark that he then exclaimed, "I'm from Brooklyn, and that's how we do it!"
