Even though the small packet card trick goes at least back to Hofzinser's times Jon argues that the modern small packet trick started in the 1940s when the Buckle Count was introduced by Dai Vernon and got into full swing when the Ghost Count (Elmsley Count) entered the stage.

Jon writes:

• Idaho Travelers: A simple, strong version of the Vernon classic.
• A Visit to Boise: Scott's streamlined handling of Larry Jennings' "The Visitor".
• Red Hot Mama's Lips: Red Hot Mama with a charming theme and a killer kicker!
• Peanut, Butter & Jelly: Scott's favorite effect. Many have called this the best sponge ball routine out there!

Countless Ace Turning
The following is a solution to a problem posed by Roy Walton in Cardboard Charades (also The Complete Walton Vol. 1) in an effect called "Unaccustomed as We Are". The problem was; to perform Dai Vernon's Twisting the Aces without counting the cards.

If Gambling demonstrations are your favorite area of pursuit, after reading the pages of I'll Pass you'll be able to perform the legendary "Ping Pong Shift." I'm not talking about the Vernon theory, as shared with Faucett Ross, but the real "Ping Pong Shift." The technique is so deceptive it could get by without question in even the strictest card game.

I'll Pass includes Wesley's celebrated detailed descriptions, commentary and the secrets that make Wesley's Passes among the...
