Paul Fleming wrote:

More fun with the original Si Stebbins Stacked deck. Contains an explanation of the original Si Stebbins stack and how to set up any deck of cards in that order.

Four different effects using the stack:

Kind of a Four
The spectator chooses a card and the performer prognosticates what that card is by looking at 'indicator' cards. Eventually, the 'indicator' cards are shown to be the three 'mates', matching the value of the chosen card, making four of a kind in all.

Curried Stebbins
A version of Paul Curry's Out of this World where two spectators randomly pick cards and it transpires that one spectator chose all...

Whistling Spirits: An examined whistle is hung from a wand; the whistle mysteriously blows while hanging from the wand.

The Vanishing Card: From a packet of seven cards, a chosen card disappears leaving six cards. No palming, sleights or false counts or misprinted cards. Totally impromptu but amazing.

Necromantic Numbers: An easy way to reveal a stranger's age and the month in which he was born.

BONUS: Included is also Vick's article on how to succeed...

There are totally 5 routines and 2 variations explained. Some routines can be performed totally hands-off by the performer. Some can be done totally deckless - without even a deck of cards. Some can be done as magic routines while some others can be performed as mentalism.

The basic principle involved here is fully self-working and is quite delightful to know. You will surely be able to come up with your own applications of this principle. There are no sleights, no stooges,...

How to find the guilty card despite a possible reticent witness!

An effect of mentalism, possible from a distance (in a video chat or even just on the phone), whose story is very loosely inspired by the movie "The Unusual Suspects" and in which the spectator is asked to choose five random cards from the deck. They will represent the suspects of a major bank robbery. Only one will be the real culprit. Despite the free arrangement of the cards and the various shuffles of face-up and face-down cards, in the end the mentalist will always succeed to guess all of these:

• in which position the...

deal of thought has gone into [these effects] and they are thoroughly and thoughtfully taught. If this kind of material appeals to you, you will enjoy this manuscript. Recommended." - Nathan Coe Marsh

Two completely different, leading-edge, thought-reading methods that allow you to know the cards they are thinking of, all with regular decks that can be examined. All new material.

Throw out your expensive, one-trick pony gaffed decks and take a ride on the supersonic train to the future of high octane mentalism.

Warning: This ad contains hyperbole, unwarranted exaggeration, and mere puffery....

Full exposition of all the various arts, mysteries, and miseries of gambling.

It is a complete exposure, of the different and various ways of deception and cheating in all the numerous games played, such as Faro, Two, Three, and Four-Handed Poker, Shuffling Cards, Roulette and Rolling Faro, Vingt-Un, Brag, Euchre, Game of Boston, All Fours, Cribbage, Whist, Dice, Stealing out Cards, Palming, Playing by Signs, Marking Cards, Backgammon, Solitaire, Playing Three against One, Spring Tables, Spring Boxes, Pulleys, Ingenuity of Gamblers, Card Manufactories, Lotteries, then modes of drawing and...

The synthesis of an effect with the spelling is very simple: I make sure that the chosen card is "forced" into a position and then, with the spelling, I reveal it. It goes without saying that there are infinite ways to force a position in a group of cards and that I can use names or phrases to spell the cards for the final revelation: here you will find some ideas and the mechanism that governs them: infinite others can be created with imagination and desire to look for a new story to tell.

In this ebook you will find:

Bending Minds Vol. 3 ends the collection of effects centered on the principle of the binary system, according to a new and innovative vision. In this third volume, not only playing cards will be used to tell our magical stories, but also tickets or some business cards.

You will find 4 new effects and an extra bonus one, using cards or just some tickets, with a number of elements varying from 3 to 7. Throughout the course of the effect, the cards are subject to a dynamic, the positions are constantly changing, each time in a different way. Even more than in the first two volumes you will...

This is completely self-working and is great for stand-up or close-up for small groups, like a table at a wedding ... It's fun, quirky and great entertainment.

Another favorite is the King Kong Cards: 5 cards with Movie Monsters' names on them are freely mixed by a member of the audience and are placed into envelopes which are then mixed by the helper. The performer uses their mind reading power to tell which monster is in which envelope. A very simple and clever method makes this a self-working...

Conjuring tricks with cards balls, and dice; magic writing, performing animals, etc.

This is a surprisingly interesting book edited by W. H. Cremer. It includes an early precursor of the Chop Cup. (See The Magic Dutch Balls.) It has interesting information on gambling, cheating, and scams. The chapter on 'Magic Writing' is a wonderful history of cryptography and steganography. The chapter on animal training is one of the most detailed I have encountered. It also includes a wealth of magic tricks, science experiments, and effects based on apparatus.

• Part I. Modern Magic By Sleight Of Hand...

In addition to bunco scams and carnival games, the book also covers marked cards, roulette, crooked dice, and much more.

Makes a great gift for that hard-to-please gambling enthusiast, magician, or law enforcement professional on your gift list.

Sold for information only. Not to be used for any illegal purpose.

"Flim-flam methods of con men, short changers, carnivals,...

This is a neat little collection of bar tricks, stunts and simple magic effects. Some of it will be familiar to you, some have a new twist or plot and others might be completely new to you. Julian added photos to make it very easy to present these on your next visit to your favorite bar or restaurant. It is a good idea to have a few of these stunts ready when you are not prepared to do a full magic show, but still want to be the center of attention.

1st edition, 2004.

1. Red or Black
This trick will prove that your volunteer has ESP as they correctly predict whether cards are red or black. ...

Effect - The mentalist draws several designs on business cards - these can be standard ESP symbols or designs suggested by the spectators. Any number of designs can be used, as will be seen. The design cards are handed to a volunteer and are not touched again by the mentalist. While the performer's back is turned, one of the designs is selected by the volunteer...

Stunners-Plus!, which in the meantime is out of print, contains every word of the original Stunners for a total of more than 100 killer mental routines using books, coins, paper currency, cards, pencils, pens, watches, newspapers, boxes, props, no props, and so much more. You'll get some of the most baffling and entertaining mental effects ever created, all bearing the Becker hallmarks of maximum entertainment potential and simplicity of working.
