The Art of the Grafter: a pitchman guide to sellingWalt Lees... read, giving me insight into a branch of magic I knew nothing about. Most important to me was that the book quickly extinguished
any notion I had about making my first million dollars selling packs of gaffed cards. I guess I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon. *Grafters (along with Punch & Judy performers and Hurdy-Gurdy men) seem to be a strictly British phenomenon. Here in America, our version is the fast-talking television infomercial pitchman like Billy Mays, who made his fortune hawking pretty much anything that sliced, diced, and julienned vegetables.

HolesDave ForrestFollowing on from the success of Ripped & Repaired, Holes is a manuscript from David Forrest featuring three close up miracles with playing cards, each involving holes!
- On Holemeal - A super visual sandwich! A signed card which was lost into the center of the deck suddenly appears between two blank cards, one of which has a hole in it, as they are waved over the deck. The spectator actually sees their card arrive through the hole! Extremely visual. Easy to do. Resets automatically. Special cards included.
- Hole’d the phone - A card is freely selected from a genuinely shuffled pack and signed across the...

Marked cards allow the magician to identify a card from its back or edge. Sometimes only certain cards are marked, other times each and every card is marked and identifiable. Sometimes the marking is tactile rather than visual. For example, a stripper deck is a form of tactile marking where a certain group of cards can be separated from the others by feel. A more sophisticated form of tactile marking is a punched deck.
We also include peek devices here with marked cards because they serve a similar purpose, to secretly identify a card. | |
Holy HofzinserCameron FrancisA stunning new packet effect by Cameron Francis.
Effect:
A card is selected and lost in the deck, we'll say it's the Six of Diamonds. The magician introduces a packet of four cards. Each card has one hole punched through it. The cards are flipped face up and are seen to be the four Aces. "The Aces are going to tell us the suit and value of the card you selected. First they'll tell us the suit."
The magician gives the packet a twist. He spreads the cards and one of the Aces is now face down. The Ace of Diamonds. "This tells me that the card you picked was a Diamond!" The magician then... | $10 to wish listPDF |

In 1924 he founded the School for Print Estimating in Chicago. He would eventually publish his own textbooks on print estimating in 1927 and 1929.
