1. Inspector #1953 - If ever there was a great "ice-breaker" for approaching tables – this is it! Rip a hole into a spectator's clothing – then magically repair it right in front of their eyes! Hilarious routine with patter.

2. The Trick That Can't Be Explained! – This is NOT the Vernon effect – but an ingenious self-working miracle by Paul Lelekis! The spectator's are taught a miraculous, self-working effect (it really is!) – but later, they NEVER remember how to do it! This trick "rocked" the magic world when Paul first released it. It is brilliant and VERY EASY to do....

• ... This compelling "fusion" effect is a very powerful moment for your spectators, and they will leave with a memento of their occasion that they will always treasure. Paul has been performing this version for many years. Oh, did I say it was EASY to do?!

• CSS – This is Paul's rendition of a Dai Vernon effect with a VISIBLE transposition of a signed silver coin for a signed copper coin. You're going to LOVE this one! It ROCKS!

• JUMPING JACKS – Want to do a beautiful Jack assembly with an amazing kicker that is done by the spectator? Make your spectator the HERO. A GREAT EFFECT!

• INSIDE-OUT...

Dai Vernon… Il Professore, The New York Card Expert, Cranky Old Man Of Magic ed altre numerose definizioni che amici, estimatori, colleghi, discepoli e avversari gli hanno dato nel corso dei suoi gloriosi 98 anni di vita.

L'UOMO CHE INGANNO' HOUDINI è il primo saggio bibliografico su Dai Vernon in italiano; un'opera dedicata a colui che è stato il punto di svolta epocale per lo sviluppo e la maturità della cartomagia e del close-up moderni. Il pioniere di una magia d'altri tempi eppure ancora così moderna: efficace, naturale e misteriosa. Proprio come dovrebbe essere.

Effects included are:

I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENS… – A very funny opening effect to magically produce the four Aces with some really crazy patter!

TWISTING THE JACKS – This is a full-scale routine which adds some wonderful ideas by Paul along with Dai Vernon and Larry Jennings' routines to bring your spectators on a "roller-coaster ride" of magical entertainment. This one is great!

EWWW…BOOGERS! – If you want a routine that will make EVERYONE completely FREAK OUT – then look no further. This "accidental discovery" by Paul will encourage...

• 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!
• Magic Western...

4) Spectator Cuts the Aces X2 - A fantastic effect where the spectator cuts to the Aces not once - but TWICE! Both times the spectators are completely floored.

5) Twisting the Jacks - Paul has combined his own, easy-to-do handlings, with Vernon's "Twisting the Aces" and Jennings "Pineapple Twist" for a knock-out 3 stage routine that will have your spectators trying to check you for "gaffs". There are none!

6) Reflective - What a powerhouse routine this one is. This beautiful multi-stage piece of theater that will leave your spectators...

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.

Matter of Facts
Another approach to the Lie Detector. You place a packet of four cards in a face down pile on the table. This, you say, is a cardboard lie detector. A spectator is now offered a free choice of any card from the deck. This card...

Seven more off-beat, totally impromptu card effects from the mind of Cameron Francis. Includes both written instructions and video instructions.

CONTENTS:

THE TRUTH IS IN THE MIDDLE: A "mystery card" effect where a card reversed in the middle of the deck before the trick started turns out to be the selection.

WELL TRAVELED: A "Travelers" variation that is pretty darn easy to do.

TRI THE SANDWICH: A Triumph routine and sandwich routine all rolled into one tasty treat.

OUT OF SIGHT, INSIDE THE BOX: A magical variation of Dai Vernon's "Out of Sight, Out of Mind".
