• SPECTATOR MAGICIAN (Tony Faro): Here is a great card effect...

The Twisting craze has mercifully abated, but Vernon's "Twisting the Aces" is still performed. Marlo's Upside-Down Syndrome is based on a "buried" Larry West trick and is an example of getting maximum effect using only a few cards.

Royal Rebound is an overlooked Vernon classic from Stars Of Magic, a monte type effect where the picture cards from a Royal Straight Flush unexpectedly change to tens. The effect is strong, but the original version is technically demanding. Ian has simplified the handling so that the original effect remains, but the skill level...
