Card Magic

CORNERED
Mark Mason
This is reeally neat and extremely easy to do! Wish we had thought it up! The effect is straightforward. A corner is torn from a selected card, then the card with the missing corner is waved over the torn corner piece. Visually the corner pops back onto the card! The card can immediately be freely shown on both sides with nothing added or taken away. Very visual and almost automatic!

TRICKS WITH DAUB
Ed Marlo and Bill Gusias
What's daub?? Well, daub is a tiny smear of any greasy substance which will create a distinct mark on a card. Once the card is marked in a deck, many tricks are possible. Gamblers often use daub with a tiny trace of gilt paint worked into it, so the smear catches the light and signals the marked card. Gusias had wide army camp experience with gambling and when he returned from overseas, Marlo and he worked out these effects. Any tiny smear of grease will give you sufficient results to try out the tricks. Marlo and Gusias have some interesting solutions to card problems here. Contents include: Types of Daub; How to Get the Daub; The First Miracle; The Peek Location; Spectator Peeks Again; The Spectator Cuts; Just Another Miracle; 'The Lie Detective; Daub Coincidence; Bill's Trick; Poker Face; and many more. 11 pages.

TRIPLE COVERAGE
Here is a super version of the "Magician's Insurance Policy" trick. Best of all from the close up entertainer's viewpoint, it is an excellent bargain because it comes complete with three different policies each size 11 by 17 inches. One reveals the King of Hearts, one the Seven of Clubs, and the third the Three of Hearts. You can, therefore, repeat the trick before the same group and not always have the same card revealed. The policies come complete in a special vinyl carrying case as illustrated! The instructions provide directions and gags for the "Insurance Policy". Also included are instructions for a bonus effect.

ULTIMATE ENGLISH THREE CARD MONTE
This routine makes the absolute most of the classic three card monte theme!! Alter displaying two similar cards and a different 'winning' card in his hand the performer turns them face down. The spectator fails to choose the 'winning' card. This is repeated, then apparently explained, but in the end the 'winning' card vanishes completely leaving only three similar cards!! Okay you say, this sounds like various other versions of the three card monte. You are absolutely correct! Parts of the routine do build on these predecessors. However, any performer who has done this sort of effect knows that unless you want the spectators grabbing for the cards, your sleeves, and who knows what else, you'd better bring back the absent 'winning' card. The spectators will not rest until they know just what happened to it!! The special wallet provided with this routine makes it easy to reproduce that missing card! Complete with the professional routine that tells you exactly how to perform an entertaining three card monte effect and bring back the vanished 'winning' card at the finish!! Complete.

TWIST 2000
Twisting effects have been around for something like 40 years with Dai Vernon's "Twisting the Aces" being one of the earliest. There have been many variations. This version developed by Jerry Mentzer is very strong and perhaps the strongest version that can be done with a regular pack of cards with no gimmicked cards involved. You begin by showing four aces. Then each time the Aces are "twisted" one of them turns face down; first one face down card, then, after a second twist, two face down cards, then three, and finally all four cards are face down! Then, surprise of surprises! The performer drops the cards one-at-a-time, face up on top of the tabled pack and they are the Ace, Two, Three, and Four of Spades!!! The strength of this routine is that every time the cards are counted from hand to hand, the counting appears the same, therefore the handling looks very fair to your spectators. No confusion due to counts that look suspiciously different. The effect utilizes relatively easy card skills which should be familiar to experienced cardicians. And if you haven't already mastered the skills needed, the instructions teach all you need to know! Printed manuscript.

Nick Trost's
RAINBOW MIRACLE
This excellent effect has been around for a few years but it is so good we thought we'd advertise it once again. It is easy to do yet it is very surprising and comes with a complete presentational routine.

Effect: You and a spectator each select two cards from a pack with rainbow backs. Amazingly- the BACKS of his two cards match the BACKS of yours! But even more amazing the FACES of the two pairs also match! There's two red Queens and two red Aces! Then the impossible finish. How were the only red cards selected? The pack is spread and ALL the rest of the cards are BLACK!!

DELUXE CARD WALLET
Just the thing for the close up performer! An attractive pocket wallet that permits you to carry many different card tricks all set for performance!! All your favorite packet tricks can be carried, each one neatly nestled in one of the eighteen see-thru plastic pockets. Or, IF YOU DO A LOT OF TABLE HOPPING WORK, you can carry multiple set ups of a single effect and not have to reset. Each transparent pocket of the wallet will accommodate a packet of bridge size cards. PACKETS OF POKER SIZE CARDS NO LONGER FIT THE TRANSPARENT POCKETS (DUE TO A MINOR CHANGE BY THE MANUFACTURER). But poker-size packets can be carried in the two vertical pockets at the front of the wallet. AN ACCESSORY THAT A MAGICIAN WILL USE!

PHIL
by Trevor Duffy
EFFECT. A deck of cards is set down on a table. A spectator is asked simply to think of any playing card, and the magician says he will name it. After a moment of thought, the performer declares, "The name of your card is Phil! You know short for Phillip." The audience is understandably a bit surprised. The pack is removed and then shown to have different names printed boldly on the back of every card. When the deck is turned face up and the card named by the spectator is found, it is the one and only card named Phil!

No Rough and Smooth! Only One Deck Is Used! Instantly Resets! No Force of Any Kind! No Sleight of Hand! Any Card Can Be Named!

CASCADE
by Roy Walton
This is another "goodie" from Roy Walton whose trick "Cardwarp" took the magic world by storm! In this effect, "Cascade", four cards turn face up, then face down in a most remarkable manner. At the finish of the effect, the performer shows he has been using trick cards- two have blank faces and two others have gaudy colored backs!! And the cards can be examined! They are indeed strange, but not gimmicked. If you can do an Elmsley count, this is an excellent effect to carry with you. Use the four cards as "covers" for your favorite coin assembly after performing "Cascade".

MIDGET SEXTET

A KNOCKOUT CLOSE UP EFFECT! Six tiny cards are spread on the table and a spectator chooses one by naming a number between one and six. You count over to the card at that number. All other cards are then turned up to show that they are the same color. When you turn up the selected card, IT CHANGES TO POKER SIZE!!! A real shocker and easy to do. No folding cards. You'll love Midget Sextet. Complete with all necessary cards.

RAINBOW TWIST
This is one of the easiest and most effective packet tricks! The Ace-2-3-4 of a single suit turn face down one at a time! Then the backs of all the cards are shown and they have all different wild patterns! Best of all, the trick requires no Elmsley Counts, Ascanio Spreads, etc. If you do not know what these moves are, it does not matter. You don't need them. A simple hand-to-hand count is all that is required to do the effect. Supplied with instructions and the special set of wild color backs.

CARD RISE
(Self Contained Version)
The rising card trick is a classic of magic. This excellent, self-contained version of the trick makes it easy for you to do the trick under all performing conditions, even close up and surrounded.

The self-contained deck makes it very easy to do. And you'll love performing this sensational effect!!!

CARD WARP
This amusing and baffling card trick by Roy Walton defies logic. A card is folded in half lengthwise and enclosed in a folder made from a second card as in the illustration. The one card is pushed through the folder and emerges inside out!!! The effect is repeated and again the card turns inside out. At the finish there is an amusing climax which leaves the cards in the hands of the spectator. Not self working, but not difficult either! Four printed sheets of instructions including 19 illustrations make it all clear. Use your own cards- an ideal use for that worn out deck. Card Warp is a trick you'll enjoy doing and your audiences will enjoy seeing it!

WILD CARD
A classic of card magic! Both impressive and easy to do. Nine playing cards are shown to the spectator- eight are identical and one is an odd card. When the performer uses the odd or "Wild" card to touch four of the cards placed face down on the table, the four cards all change to match the "Wild" card! The other four cards then change in a similar manner. At the finish the faces of all nine cards are the same! It seems impossible, but they have just seen it done. With cards, instructions, and vinyl carrying wallet.

COLOR SPOT WILD CARD
Children and some adults do not understand standard playing cards, and are not able to distinguish between different playing cards. Some groups, religious and otherwise, would prefer you not use playing cards when performing for them. Color Spot Wild Cards is the answer! This is the standard wild card effect, but with cards bearing large color spots instead of regulaton faces. Eight cards, all with spots of one color are shown along with one with a different color spot. All eight change to match the odd card. Specially printed cards packed with complete instructions.

For the performer who intends to perform this excellent trick on a regular basis, the plastic gimmick now supplied is much more durable than the gimmick previously available. And it looks a lot better! Nearly everyone who has seen this astounding trick has been absolutely shocked when the deck vanishes! A spectator is asked to think of any card in the pack.

The Joker from the deck is used to tap the deck in an attempt to cause the spectatorıs thought card to vanish. Surprise of surprises! When the performerıs hand is lifted, the entire deck has vanished!! It is found back inside its card case! No palming, no lapping, no difficult sleight of hand.
