This is a reproduction of Dumbfounders with Cards and More Dumbfounders with Cards two often overlooked booklets by Eddie Joseph on math based card effects. Some principles predate ideas rediscovered by Edward Marlo and Stewart James. (The ebook has been prepared by Paul Gordon.)

The writing of Joseph is somewhat terse and hard to read, but the effects and principles are great. This ebook includes some comments by Peter Duffie and Roger Crosthwaite.

[Note: This effect was already part of Mentalism games.

Effect: A spectator names any card, and you immediately produce it from your pocket.

Or: You write two cards on two business cards, put one in each pocket, and the spectator has to guess at least one of them. (It can be repeated right away if you want).

The method is 100% surefire and practical. There is no math, no probabilities, a little bit of memorization, but it is almost "intuitive". It is not difficult but needs a bit of rehearsal at the beginning, like for everything. It looks casual, completely impromptu, or even improvised, but you will have to do a onetime preparation with...

[Note that this trick can only be performed on the street. You can't do this on the stage or in a traditional performance setting. Also you cannot do this trick anywhere (only works in the US at particular places) and on just anybody. Certain conditions have to exist. ]

Do you want to look like a real minder and do feats that defy explanation, unless you could really read minds? Without having your spectators write anything down at any time. Then this release is just for YOU!

These are three Jason Michaels effects that have not previously been released. These were Jason's prime bread and butter effects that appeared to be real mindreading. They were used in newspaper offices for reporters all over the country. There are no gimmicks used. No math principles or fishing techniques used. These three effects convinced the skeptics and reporters that Jason was...

How a page is forced during a book test is the most important part of the test. Unfortunately, most page forces are sadly lacking. Most appear contrived. Dice are rolled to determine page numbers, playing cards are used or math is used to determine a random number. This not what a real mind reader would do.

Other methods involve mis-calling numbers. If the audience realizes that the mentalist knows the page number, then the effect has dropped a few levels. Many people have read in books about secret cue lists and realize if the mentalist knows the page number, then he may have memorized the...

There are no sleights, no preshow, no stooges, no swami gimmick, no Unswami gimmick, no peeks, no impressions, no switches, no stacks, no tech, no math, no tearing, no instant stooging, no dual reality. Except for the business cards, envelopes and papers, the principle by itself is normally classified as propless.

There are no sleights, no preshow, no stooges, no secret writings, no peeks, no impressions, no switches, no stacks, no tech, no math, no tearing, no instant stooging, no dual reality.

But for the included gimmick and your business card, which you may choose to use, this principle is quite impromptu and almost propless.

You will find that the potential of this simple and powerful principle is vast and the only limit for...
