Il libro inizia con la descrizione di una duplicazione di un disegno liberamente scelto. Prosegue con una stupenda versione del gioco delle 7 chiavi ( con sei chiavi) di cui Carlisle dice : "Finora abbiamo attentamente salvaguardato questo metodo poiché non richiede attrezzature truccate, gimmick di sorta o manipolazioni. ...". Il libro prosegue con una effetto in cui il mentalista indovina oggetti...

It is an amazing automatic card magic effect that uses an ordinary deck of 54 cards (complete with the two jokers) and a pair of dice (which can also just be imagined by the spectators).

It tells the story of a pirate, the map of his island, and the magic dice he used to find his legendary treasure, in a crescendo of suspense, until the unexpected final surprise.

Completely self-working but with a surprising ending that will fool magicians too!

X10 - Short on cash? No problem when you can do magic. Show a dime and almost instantly change it into a silver dollar.

F.B. Change - With a mere snap of the fingers a half dollar on the left hand visibly changes into a Mexican centavo.

Sonic Split - The magician offers to do a trick with a quarter but finds he only has a half dollar....

Eine Variante von Mark Leveridges Wild Dice, die eine völlig freie Handhabung der Streichholz-schachteln erlaubt.

Der Vorführende zeigt eine Version des Hütchenspiels mit drei Zündholzschachteln und einem weissen Würfel. Der Würfel wird unter eine Schachtel gegeben und die Schachteln werden durcheinandergebracht. Entgegen der Erwartung der Zuschauer befindet sich der Würfel immer unter der mittleren Schachtel.

Wird das Spiel senkrecht gespielt, d. h. die Schachteln aufeinandergelegt, befindet sich der Würfel immer auf, statt unter der mittleren Schachtel.

Wenn der Vorführende den Würfel...
