In this second part of two ebooks exploring the science of envelopes in magic and mentalism, Scott introduces three more brand new tried and tested routines utilizing nothing more than some envelopes, a glue stick, and a pair of scissors.

For the sake of clarity the clear photographic manufacturing instructions for two of the gaffed envelopes which appeared in Envelopology Part One are reproduced here for the benefit of those who don't own the first ebook, along with an extra gaffed envelope and manufacturing instructions for a variation of Scott's very own Shaxonless flap, this variation is being shared here...

The spectator uses her imagination to select one of the coins. Let's say she selects the quarter. She then, using her imagination, flips the invisible quarter into the air. She then calls out whether the quarter landed heads or tails side up. Say she picks heads. The card is then removed, and underneath the card is a quarter! Not only that,...

In truth, it IS absolutely unprepared! He tears off the cover and shows it on both sides using just his left hand. He then forms the cover into a tube, twisting one end. He places the tube on his right hand, when lifted it reveals a real drinking glass that can be used in other effects.

Devin shows you other ways to use this idea. You can use the magazine cover to produce a load of silks, instead of a glass, or both. Show the cover empty and produce two...

This effect has an innovative twist on the traditional Free Will plot, where the spectator makes all the choices. Yet, your prediction aligns perfectly with their selections, a feat achieved using only one prediction. This new approach utilizes a combination of psychological techniques and physical methods, all designed to maximize the chances of achieving the most deceptive and cleanest outcome possible. This effect serves as a fantastic opener, making it a suitable addition to your Everyday Carry (EDC), and best of all, it resets automatically. There are no complex flowcharts to memorize,...

About the Author

1st edition 1935; 1st digital edition 2016, 34 pages.

EFFECT: A spectator shuffles a packet of number cards as much as he wants and deals through it to create a random number. Then, he deals through a blue-backed deck of playing cards (in which the magician put a red-backed prediction) and stops at his number. Let's say his card is the 7 of Clubs. Unbelievably, the red-backed prediction is the 7 of Clubs!

NB: The deck is always dealt face-up. Self-working. Happens in the hands of the spectator. Examinable. Quick reset. No gaff. Uses one regular deck and one red-backed card only. Includes a handling to perform it anytime during your act with...

Effect: Four blue-back cards are shown. One at a time each card - the Ace, Two, Three, and Four of Diamonds - turn face up. Their backs then change to red and then one at a time the backs change back to blue. Finally, the cards change to four Fours of Diamonds.

This offering represents a small part of my passionate journey to document just how much entertaining magic can be created with two paper sacks, a bottle of water, and a paper cup. I would feel badly having simple ideas like this one get lost over time under a growing pile of more expensive gimmicks, books, and DVD's. In furtherance of this quest of mine, please also visit my new monthly column Craft Store Magic in The Linking Ring magazine where I document ideas for turning your local craft store into your very own local brick and mortar magic store.
