From the introduction by Robert Parrish:

Using just a few double blank business cards and a very old principle in a devastating manner, this routine creates the illusion of real mind reading. Several audience members write the names, relationships and dates of birth of their loved ones on several unprepared and unmarked business cards. All these are then gathered writing side down and mixed up. And yet the performer is able to divine all those details of loved ones of anyone of those who wrote the details. Not only that, the performer can even repeat this feat with any of the other participants too.

Although this principle is totally...

Here is what happens:

The performer shows his participant(s) a pack of blank index cards that have writing on one side (the other side is blank.) A different word, number and design are written on each card. The participant genuinely mixes them thoroughly and then selects one of the cards from the pack. They can remember everything on the card or just one item, it is totally a free choice. With little to no pumping you can tell them what they are thinking, duplicate a drawing, guess a pin number. Not only that, you can do this for up to 3 people at a time.

If you liked Bookworm: The Ultimate Impromptu Book Test Act, then you will love The Bookworm Deck. An entire "Word Test Act" combined into a single deck that you will always carry with you.

Not only can you now perform the "Bookworm Act" without having to borrow three books, you can perform the act in absolutely any venue, including walk-around, table hopping, and even stage situations. The entire act is kept in your pocket. The Bookworm Deck also makes the act much easier to perform.

Here is the act:

The performer borrows three business cards and a pen (obviously, he can use his own if the items cannot be borrowed). The performer...

5-Alarm Clock, the first version of the routine requires nothing but a normal, un-gimmicked deck of cards. (It doesn’t even have to be a complete deck.)

Blanking 5-Alarm Clock, the second version, replaces one of the revelations in the first version with a killer climax using some extra cards you almost certainly already have (and if not, you can readily get them very cheaply from pretty much...

The effect centers around the illusion of manipulating time by making a prediction about a spectator's card selection. The prediction is revealed to be blank even though the spectator thought he saw the magician write the prediction. This subtly suggests that we have moved backward through time to a point before the prediction was written down. Next, the spectator's freely chosen card turns out to be blank as well. The prediction was correct! This happens with a normal deck of cards. The effect creates a sense that the past, present, and future have been merged through mysterious forces. ...

You show four cards. When you separate three of them, they suddenly have big holes cut out in their center. The fourth card has no hole.

An alternative routine using the same gimmick is shown below. This routine is not taught in the download. However, once you have learned the first routine and understand the gimmick, you should be able to understand how the routine below works. You show one regular card and three cards with a hole in the center. The three cards with a hole are blank. But once you combine them with the regular card, the holes vanish, and the faces are not blank anymore. ...

A card routine that is a combination of Hofzinser's Royal Marriages and Peter Kane's Wild Card.

[Please note that this ebook does not come with any gimmicks or cards. You will need four ordinary Kings; two blank faced cards; and four Queens with blank backs.]

In Intuitive Dimension you'll present a Psychic Test or an Experiment to your subject. You could even present this as a Unique Psychic reading.

From a short stack of business cards you hand her one, and have her write or draw anything she wants on the blank side ... a number, a name, a picture, a question ... whatever comes to her mind intuitively (or you can use completely blank business cards, no matter).

A good number of the effects described are taken from Reginald Scot's famous The Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584). Exceptions to this rule are the use of gaffed cards in the "Kings to Aces to blanks" routine and a three ball routine.

The performer selects a lady with the object of discovering whether she has female intuition or not. Spreading a pile of envelopes, each one of which contains a double blank card, he invites her to select any one and to remove the card from inside.

The lady helper now nominates and names any person around the table who she is emotionally close to or with whom she feels she has some empathy. It could be a relative, a close friend or maybe even her husband! Let's say she selects a close friend called Sophie.

She writes the name of her chosen person, Sophie, on the back of her chosen blank...

You show four cards with blank faces and red back except one card has a blue back. Suddenly and magically the blue-backed blank card changes to a point card with a black back and a big hole right in the center of the card. How did that happen?
