7. Sid Lorraine's Tip...

Here is an amazing and entertaining magic act that runs a full five minutes, yet it leaves the audience wanting more. An ebook every magician should have. Chuck Smith's routine includes beautiful vanishes, appearances and color change transformations. It looks so incredible to the audience, yet the entire act relies on only two, easy-to-master sleights. Everything can be examined (should the performer wish) before and after ... the thimbles really are ungimmicked.

If you're an enterprising conjuror, use the corporate colors of your sponsor for the color changes for even more applause. Also...

• ... card effect.
• Libation - Boldly produce a glass of (real) wine.
• Turnabout - Fools magicians.
• The Razor's Edge - Threaded razor blades on thread.
• Location No. 1 - Card location.
• Up Devil! - Card effect using the previous move.
• Me, Too! - New method of the Invisible Pass.
• Pop-Up - Impromptu thimble through handkerchief.
• A Deck Is Born - Produce a full deck of cards from nothing.
• Location No. 2 - Card location.
• Cortini? Frascati? Cremation - No-gimmick torn and restored paper strip.
