Fifteen excellent pasteboard effects, all easy to perform, as they require little or no skill.

The contents include "Unbelievable Coincidence" which in itself is worth more than the price of the entire book; "U-Find-Our-Cards," a chapter wherein spectators unknowingly discover their own selected cards in a puzzling fashion; and "Auto-Graphic Minds," which will never fail to bewilder the closest observer. Plus additional tricks of a professional caliber.

Here is a collection of the very smartest magic, devised and used in his own act by Lu Brent, the top-notch Philadelphia professional...

JON ARMSTRONG
My Opening Act:
Deciding to show off your ESP skill and having only a deck of cards and a rubber band, you hand your deck out to be shuffled to a nice man named Ted. After he is finished shuffling, you ask Ted to place the rubber band around the cards to make them tamper-proof. You ask Ted if he will stop you on a card as you riffle them past his eyes. To prove to Ted that all is on the up and up, you offer to stare at his girlfriend Mary...

Now comes their first ever joint effort, which contains 10 brand new and sparkling routines, all designed for practical use.

Included within are…

Invisi-Cards – a mind bending routine where three selections vanish individually when trapped between two Jokers. This ends with a sucker punch that nobody will see coming. Not even Derek Acorah.

A Rough Year – a new take on the Diary plot, where the spectator doesn’t even name the date she chooses....

• ... Buy, sell, swop or announce.
• Ian Keable and Walt discuss the good professor Hoffman
• Alexander Allen adds yet another novel card revelation to the cannon.
• Peter Duffie presents an easy to do 'Lie Detector' that cannot fail, and which, with good management, allows the spectator to handle the cards for the whole trick.
• Max Maven moves on to a variation of his effect in the last issue. The four aces are used for a couple of preliminary tricks to see if they are up to the task of locating a selected card. They are; and they do.

This effect is a variation of an effect called ACAT (Any Card At Any Time), extracted from CLUE ebook. It can be presented with playing cards, or special cards (like the Vernet PSImbol deck, or movies (like Directors's cut or Screen test), French postcards, etc.), or just with blank index cards or your own business cards (with drawings, symbols, words, numbers, etc. on the back). It is not a card trick, but rather a mystery or paradox.

It is hands-off, automatic, self-working, can be done over the phone or sight unseen, stand up, close up or stage (with jumbo cards). It is easy, practical, and...
