BROKEN AND RE-COMPOSED COUPLE: an effect to be proposed, as well as on the telephone, on the radio, also to an unlimited number of people; the use of tickets, rather than playing cards, allows for a themed "acclimatization".

CRAZY POKER, WITH CARD OR COINS: classic “impromptu” game, taking a handful of coins from your wallet.

NUMBERS AND MIRACLES: I have put together three different principles, not so much intending to create yet another routine, but to stimulate the creation of new effects by applying known principles together.

As with Wesley's previous releases, M.I.N.T. III - M.I.N.T. V, these long-unavailable Marlo articles could have been all Wesley compiled. Such a volume would have been an important contribution to the literature of card magic. As a tribute to Ed, Wesley wanted these volumes to offer more. So, Wesley has added, as he has with the other volumes, clarifications, corrections - both logical and grammatic - plus his own personal Notes. Some Notes are complimentary, some critical, some revolutionary, all are highly informative. ...

Here are six card magic routines, plus variations on two of them. All are truly impromptu, meaning they can be done with a borrowed, shuffled deck of ordinary cards. Some sleight-of-hand is required.

Synaptic - you reveal their thought-of card by "tuning in" to their senses

Maybe - an in-the-hands Open Prediction

Sweep - they choose a card through a visualisation process, but you knew their choice beforehand

Little Sympathy - impromptu sympathetic cards

Royal - a variation of Little Sympathy

Silver - they choose every card for two hands of poker, and you reveal a photographic...

An impromptu effect of mentalism and vampire-themed bizarre magic that just makes use of six playing cards.

The title of this eBook suggests the vampire theme underlying this impromptu mentalism/bizarre magic effect. Simply by using six playing cards, it empowers the illusionist to be always ready to perform with eyes closed (while blindfolded, without any trickery whatsoever, or otherwise remaining turned to one side for the entire duration of the experiment), with no need whatsoever to see the cards.

A female spectator is chosen in the role of the first victim, the only one who survived...

Annemann's Synthetic Sympathy is a long-regarded classic of card magic, with a history dating back to 1921 when Charles T. Jordan put out his original version. Annemann slotted it into an early edition of his magazine The Jinx. It took off like wildfire and Jean Hugard promptly included the Annemann update in Encyclopedia Of Card Tricks, further enhancing its popularity. Then Max Holden jumped on the bandwagon and published it yet again, including it in his Annemann compendium Full Deck Of Impromptu Card Tricks.

Holden was particularly...

QUAD CUT COUNT: A spectator cuts the deck into four piles in an attempt to cut to the Aces. He fails. However, using the four random cards he did cut to he ends up with all four Aces.

DYING TIME: You use six playing cards which represent the six sides of a magic electronic die. Adding the Joker which represents the battery, a mystery occurs. For previous related concepts see Roy Walton's "Eliminator in Disguise," (Magic Circular, Aug.96) and Alex Elmsley's "Eliminator" (Magic Circular, Mar.96).

Stephen had some pretty weird ideas back in the 1980s (not all to do with magic), and over the following two decades his arsenal of torn and restored effects increased, hence this publication, which contains the original material plus these additional ideas.

Surprisingly little has been published in an encyclopedic form about the classic rising cards in English. You can find some in Greater Magic but the rest is spread out in many books and journals. Although this publication can hardly be called an encyclopedia, it is one of only two publications in English I know which are entirely dedicated to the rising card effect (the other being 25 Rising Card Tricks). It is a wonderful collection of a number of methods, described clearly with photos and illustrations. This was part of the Supreme 'Know How' series.
