Von der Einleitung:

From the preface and introduction:

During the 1970's Dai Vernon demonstrated this around the Magic Castle to anyone who was interested. He was quite fond of it. It is a neat, highly deceptive, practical hole card switch using natural actions, something he highly favored.

Excerpt from the Foreword:

In this publication, Impey describes how to wax together pairs of cards, a technique that Dai Vernon would later refine with rough-and-smooth to create his famous Brainwave deck. Judson Brown is generally credited with inventing the basic brainwave-type effect using Impey's waxed cards...

instantly re-set. Lastly, you can perform the effect using the spectator's hands ... The hallmark of all Ray Grismer items is the simplicity of the method and Shorty is no exception. ... Highly recommended." - Alan Marcus

"The effect is achieved by means of specially gimmicked bills plus a Dai Vernon move for handling which is simple to do and is absolutely clean cut in effect - a five dollar bill and a one dollar bill simply disappear and reappear without any obvious chicanery ... Highly recommended." - Eddie Dawes

Brick Tilley created a streamline presentation with Bug House.
