THE THIRD AND BEST BOOK IN MARTIN GARDNER'S TRILOGY!

Book #16 in the 52 Weeks Project

INCLUDING:

A CLOSE FIT - By Bert Allerton - the "Jastrow" optical illusion taken to the extreme: any named card can be inserted into a "small" envelope

THE UNCONFUSED JOKER - A nice interlude effect. The spectators try to "logically" follow every move and yet they are fooled at the end.

DOUBLE VANISH AND RECOVERY - By Ed Marlo - two selected cards vanish a reappear.

NAMING THE CARD CUT - a funny gag where the spectator thinks he can repeat your moves but will fail!

USE YOUR HEAD - a comical revelation of a selected card. None other that Ryan Schultz is a fan of this principle.

THE SURPRISED GAMBLER - a funny and very easy gambling effect

PAPER CLIP DISCOVERY - comical revelation of 2 selected cards

VANISH AND SPELL - a very nice impromptu effect, where a selected card vanishes and reappears when spelled to it

DECK THROUGH HANDKERCHIEF - a selected card penetrates a handkerchief, then the entire deck for a surprise reveal of the second selected card

THE SWINDLE STICK CIPHER - a novel way to reveal a selected card

A NEW FALSE CUT - a flourish cut and false cut. A favorite of Johnny Thompson and Nate Leipzig.

A MIRACLE - MAYBE - by Joe Berg - a very nice version of "The Trick That Cannot Be Explained"

A FACE TO FACE ROUTINE - a selected reverses in deck

TACK IT - Johnny Paul - a selected card is "tacked" to the wall. Pepe Carroll from Spain used to perform a similar effect (with THREE selected cards!)

FOR THE MAN IN UNIFORM - a very simple card revelation that can be adapted to a number of situations. Allows to give away a nice "souvenir". If you work in restaurants or trade shows you WILL find a way to use this idea.

A CURIOUS CARD VANISH - a very nice choreography to make a card vanish and reappear with a handkerchief

X-RAY TOUCH - the magician cuts the deck and is able to name the cut-to-card every time. The strategy can be used in a "memorized deck" routine.
