BILL DATES: You predict the bill and the date that a spectator you just met, will take out of his wallet.

THE JANUS FORCE: A business card is fairly selected among five, by throwing a dice, only once (or by freely naming a digit 1 to 6). The result on the back of the card was predicted in advance of course. Furthermore, you can show that the odds should have been against this result, as there were more cards with the opposite outcome. This system can be used to force any choice between two possibilities (for instance: red or black, heads or tails, etc.) even though the other choice had more...

Another Spell Of Cards is the follow-on volume to A Spell Of Cards, and much like that ebook is not exclusively devoted to Spelling effects. However, in keeping with the spelling aspect of the title, there are more than several "Spellers," all presenting sideways glances at the ever-present premise.

As with its proud predecessor, Another Spell Of Cards will appeal to the fearless family of card people who remain calm and maintain their cool in the presence of spelling tricks.

You can start performing the routines within 10 minutes of knowing the 'secrets'.

In one of the routines, a time bomb is about to go off. And the deactivation code is determined by the throw of dice many miles away and the 'hero' has to use his legendary telepathy skills to guess the code correctly and to defuse the bomb and save everyone.

This manual exposes cheating at gambling of all kinds including more than 100 methods of rigged machines, tables, dice, marked cards, sleight of hand and more.

It is unclear when this book was originally published, but it does reprint some illustrations from The Expert at the Card Table which means it must be after 1902. Our best guess is that this was published during the 1920s.
