12 Tricks with a Borrowed Deck by Martin Gardner
12 Tricks with a Borrowed Deck by Martin Gardner
A VERY HARD to find Martin Garnder book
12 IMPROMPTU card effects that can be performed with a BORROWED deck!
With an introduction by Paul Rosini
Martin Gardner was a great "genius" in many fields, from science to recreative mathematics to science fiction writing to magic and more.
For the Spanish version of this book, Stephen Minch wrote about each item in this book, and how it became a "precursor" for future moves, tricks and effects.
INCLUDING:
Improved Topsy Turvy Deck: a "Triumph" type of effect with 3 selections!
Face to Face Fantasy: two selections found from a cut deck placed face to face
Double Climax Speller: an incredible "spelling" effect!
Never Miss Stop Trick: card stopped at by spectator is used to find the selection
Big Casino Count Down: 10 of Diamonds helps find selection
Six of Spades Count Down: Spelling from the 6S finds the selection
Two Piles and Subtract: card selected in a row of 20 is discovered
Do As I Do: top cards of two decks match spectator's and magician's selections
Eye Pop Routine: selected cards reverse themselves and jump to the top of the deck
