CONTENTS:

SPECTATOR MAGICIAN (Tony Faro): Here is a great card effect entirely performed in the spectator hands and totally impromptu. You'll never stop using it!

SLOW MOTION RING RELEASE (Peter Kane): A ring is threaded onto a piece of string (or rope) and it becomes free!

COLOUR-PSYCHOLOGY (Stanton Carlisle): Four envelopes are shown and three are selected by spectators. They open the envelopes and inside they find consolation messages, while the last envelope (for you) contains a $100 bill (or any bill denomination)!

ONE AT A TIME COLLECTORS (Alex Elmsley): Three chosen cards appear, one at a time, reversed among the four Aces!

UP, DOWN & AROUND (William Zavis): Four black cards penetrate, reverse themselves among and change places with a number of red cards Great packet trick!

SIMPLICITY (Trevor Lewis): You show Ace to Five of Spades (or any five cards). A spectator THINKS of one card and then names it. The card is removed. The remaining four cards are shown to be (say) blue-backed and the selection is the only red-backed card!

PAIRED CHOICE (Francis Haxton): Two freely selected cards appear at the same time while you deal two packets of cards!

CHOP-COIN (Arthur Setterington): Two different coins are wrapped in a banknote and secured with a clip which is placed on a chopstick. You ask for a coin to be named. The selected coin disappears from the note. Everything can be examined!

GONE SANDWICH (William Zavis): The two red Aces are inserted face down into a half of the deck. A selection is inserted in the other half. The Aces disappear from their half and reappear in the other half trapping the selected card!

DIARY DICE-CARD (Des Colgan): You show a diary (or a calendar) and a spectator selects a card. The same card is printed in the diary on the day of the performance!
