Excerpt from the introduction by Charles Eastman:
Here is an effect from the ever fertile brain of Mr. Val Evans (Valcarte) that was made and sold by me as far back as 1930.
By the way, this effect can be performed entirely surrounded by spectators without prepared cards. Nothing is needed but the holder, the cards, and the ribbon. And the effect is recommended for all types of performers. Also, you can still probably fool the smart boys at your next magic club meeting with this effect.
