The performer displays a stack of business cards which each have a magical logo and the phrase "For Astonishment..." on them. The spectator initials the top card of the stack and a playing card is also selected, but not yet revealed. The performer flips through the stack of cards and the printed letters move slowly at first, then begin careening all over the card, bouncing off the edges and each other. As the letters slow down, they are seen to be forming into new words in an "anagramic" way. When they are finished moving, they read "Nine Of Hearts!" When the spectator's selected card is revealed...

THE DEEPER TAROT: You hand a participant a deck of Tarot Cards. Apparently divine the meanings of the first two Tarot Cards without markings, stacks, or even touching the cards. Then, for a kicker, divine the last card's meaning and also know what card has been chosen!

CAPTAIN PENNY, THE PSYCHIC PIRATE I show you the progress of evolution in this effect,...

Shuber Blades are the new versatile and cool accessory for the modern card magician. They protect your cards like a card clip or card guard, but are not limited to a single deck of cards. Anything from a single card up to two decks can be protected equally well.

Shuber Blades are two sturdy stainless steel plates with size and shape equal to a Poker card. Put one plate at the bottom, the other at the top of your deck and secure everything with the custom rubber band. The plates will protect your cards and keep them flat and clean. You can protect anything from a single card, or small packet...

An incredibly fair new two packet "B'wave" effect with a killer ending that nobody will see coming.

The Effect:

Two packets of cards are introduced: one red and one blue, each containing four cards. The magician asks that the audience to imagine that each packet contains a four-of-a-kind, say the four twos. The blue packet is shown to a spectator and clearly contains all four twos. The packet is turned face down and given a quick mix. The magician asks the spectator to choose any number from 1 to 4, 1 being the top card of the packet, and 4 being the bottom card. The spectator notes the...

THE DIE IS CAST
"Make the Spectator lose (or win) all the time"

The Performer gives a dice for examination. He borrows 6 beer mats (or business cards, or papers...). On one side of each beer mat he writes a number 1 to 6 and shuffles them. On one of them he writes "ONE PINT" (or "ONE MILLION EUROS" or whatever). He mixes again all the mats and aligns them, number side up, on the table. Nobody knows which beer mat is the winner. One spectator...

CONTENTS:

• DOMINATING DICE (Paul Marcus): A spectator thinks of a number and the card that falls at that number is taken. Using three dice, the spectator finds the selected card.
• STUCK (Joe Riding): A close up comedy coin routine with a very entertaining climax.
• DIS-COLOR (Ravelle and Andrée): Two discs of different colors are placed inside two envelopes and they change places. Everything can be examined.
• S.P.E.L.L.I.T (Francis Haxton): A card is selected and lost. You reveal three cards but none of them is the chosen one. You use one of these three cards, to get to the selected one. ...

• ... A deck is covered with a handkerchief. When the handkerchief is removed the card is face up on top.
• VARIATIONS VARIANT (Roger Curzon): This fantastic routine combines two classics of magic: Between The Palms and Point Of Departure.
• FLASH (Mark Russell): A revelation of a Royal Flush (or any five cards) very pleasing to the eye.
• FANTASIA (Stephen Tucker): A stunning routine. Four cards are selected, these four cards are seen to be predicted by you. The cards are the only ones with a red back in the blue deck and, at the end, the entire deck turns blank. Easy to do.
• KONTRACT KILLER KARDS...

The first spectator now selects a card in a very fair manner. You then cut the card face up into the middle of the otherwise face down deck, which you then table.

You ask the second spectator to turn back, and you introduce sixteen cards with numbers written on them. They now choose four of the sixteen number cards, again in a very fair manner. You now have them add together the numbers on the cards using a calculator. Assuming that the total is 5107. Tell the spectator that he has just found out the name of the first spectator's...

Addicted To Power
The spectator chooses a random number of cards and a random selection from the deck. The random cards have letters on their faces. If you read the letters they give you the name of the selection! After this the magician shows that all the other cards in the deck are blank!

Mystical Sandwich
Two spectators choose two cards by cutting the shuffled deck. They sign their cards and bury them into the deck. The magician spreads the deck and shows that the mystical card of the deck has turned face up in the middle of the deck. By spelling the name of the mystical card, the...
