From the lost files of Jason Michaels comes one of the most devious and baffling psychic card routines every invented!

It is a four-phase routine in which you locate selected cards SIGHT UNSEEN. It was one of the most talked about feats of Jason Michaels and even fooled the skeptics. This appears in print for the first time.

Jason never liked using blindfolds except for blindfolded drives and even then he put newspaper over the windshield. The reason for this is that no matter how clever or deceptive a blindfold is, there are always people who still think somehow you can see through it....

Two monster card routines and an exposé and a video of Paul performing and explaining the Bluff Pass in detail! Paul has the very best rendition of The Bluff Pass that never fails - even when you perform it for magicians.

1) KING PEN - Venture into a magical card adventure with the Notorious X card...a hardened criminal. He escapes prison but the two red King Guards chase him down and return him to prison. This routine is a lot of fun to perform and you will learn some cool sleights and displays that are very little-known but are extremely deceptive.

2) PARALLEL UNIVERSE - This effect...

These are Daniel Garcia's 2004 - 2005 Lecture Notes. A sell out at the 2004 LVMI Convention.

This is truly a hidden gem - a lost treasure. Very few know of its existence and you will encounter almost no references to it. When you read this you will ask yourself: "Why isn't this work known by every cardician?" Some of those who have read it value it as much as they value Erdnase. Others would not trade all card books published in the last 10 years for it.

It is an immensely practical work dealing with situations when something goes wrong, or you face difficult spectators. You'll never again be afraid to try out a new trick, even if they literally see what you do, even if they really catch...

Here you control several cards, say the four aces, during an overhand shuffle. It also allows you to get a break under the cards you control. This can be exploited to top palm these cards. This means you have not just controlled several cards, but also removed them from the deck.

Paul presents seven powerful effects, explained in full, with many step-by-step photographs. These are powerful, yet easy-to-do, professional routines - complete with patter - and most of these effects are completely impromptu.

All seven effects are non-card effects.

The introduction is a six page treatise on performance, spectator management, various forms of misdirection, and the successful executions of some very important, yet troublesome sleights. Also learn how to passively and actively control your spectators. This is very important information!

Included in the introduction are...

Four excellent ESP effects with cards - and they're easy to do.

The introduction provides a wealth of information about performance, spectator control...and even jokes. These four effects will fool magicians...just wait until your next club meeting...especially the title effect, UNSEEN!

1) UNSEEN is a devilishly clever effect that will fool anyone. Shuffle a deck of cards (it really is an ordinary deck) and display it, faces outward, for all to see - then shuffle it again. The performer never once looks at the faces of the cards. The spectator makes a free selection and then shuffles the...

Culling (cards) is not a particularly fashionable technique. During the past forty years, card magicians started to pay closer attention to various ideas and techniques, especially those having broad application. In this treatise three types of culls will be examined:

1. Desired cards are secretly culled during the logical and natural course of an effect.
2. Free selections are controlled (culled) to desired positions during a visible procedure that looks fair and above board.
3. A cull done during another fair procedure that results in separating the four suits in Ace to King order.

The Guinn Utility Backslip or GUB is an extremely versatile and surprisingly simple technique, which can be used to accomplish or replace all of the following sleights:

• Control card to top
• Control card to second from top
• Control card to bottom
• Control card to second from bottom
• Multiple Shift (all of the above done with two or more cards)
• Sidesteal
• The Pass
• Secret Reversal
• Top Change
• Multiple Top Change
• Bottom Change
• Multiple Bottom Change
• Color Change
• Lap
• Gambler's Cop
• Tenkai Palm
• False Deals

The most exciting feature of the GUB is that all of these applications are...
