In my last two manuscripts (both available from Lybrary.com) I had experimented with a format, where the reader had to just print, cut and perform the effects. These were all packet "card" tricks, but in making up the tricks I was impressed with the very professional and commercial results one could easily achieve with just a color inkjet printer and some artboard. With the proliferation of PCs and color printers in almost every home, this seemed like a very viable distribution...

Cards are shuffled by a random player and re-cased to avoid any tampering by the performer as he explains about blackjack. No false shuffles. No Sleights. One player deals a face-down card to each player followed by a face-up card.
The Kicker:
All players are given the option to switch seats.
The Climax:
The performer tells about a vision he had that morning of a person playing blackjack and receiving the same hand, over and over again from the dealer. He then names out...

I, myself, have used the Tossed Out Deck effect to open many stand-up performances, and feel it is genuinely one of the best opening routines for a performance. It packs a punch, is self-contained, and establishes quickly the performer’s ability to read minds. Yet despite all the greatness of the Tossed Out Deck, after developing several versions utilizing the core principle, most notably my effect “Touching On Hoy,” first published in the Coral Fang and further...

The primary reason this book is interesting for magicians is that Richardson describes several encounters with gambling. They are detailed and well-described. In particular, he describes a Three Card Monte performance. For those who would like to perform this con game authentically, this is a very good resource. (All gambling sections are highlighted in yellow and bracketed in double-square brackets so that they can be easily found.)
This material originally appeared in the booklet, Close Up Deceptions and in The New Tops magic magazine under the headings, Kardyro's Klose-up Konjuring and Klever Kardyro Kapers.
