An incredible impromptu effect that uses all court cards in the deck to tell a story dense with mysteries.

This is a packet trick that tells the magical solution to a mystery. An impromptu card effect that, borrowing all the pictures from the deck, uses those to tell the story of a mysterious disappearance at a prestigious dance party reserved for these four aristocratic families.

The illusionist, after shuffling the twelve cards, gives them to cut and complete to a spectator who then, by rolling two dice (even if only imaginary ones) decides the precise moment when the mysterious vanishing...

Now for a lousy five bucks, you can take the Counting Feint to a whole other world - a world filled with Tarot cards, mystic occultism and a crazed British madman, Aleister Crowley.

Consulting my Tarot cards, I know you will embrace my shameless hyperbole and fork out the lousy five bucks for Addendum #1 to TCF: The Counting Feint. It's a real deal.

The Addendum consists of four routines involving Tarot cards and a single killer card effect, "Blankjack" (even dice get in the show in some effects).

Any one of the routines will be sure to impress that girl in the bar with the inverted pentagram tattooed on...

Barnhart bases his findings on tens of thousands of spins of a biased wheel - one which behaves a certain way due to damage. Although every casino discards dice and cards daily, one can afford to replace an expensive roulette wheel until after it has provided years of service. The unavoidable wear and tear over the years causes defects that players can capitalize on.

Barnhart advises players to watch a number of spins before investing, noting which...
