DESCRIPTION

Al Baker's genius shines through in this rare, early card magic manuscript he self published. As with his other magic and mentalism, Al Baker's card magic has stood the test of time and is just as amazing (and practical) today as when he performed it.

Contents include:

COLOR FLIGHT - Al Baker's incredible twist on the classic Zens Card Miracle. Baker's version uses red and blue packets; so the three selected cards that travel invisibly from one sealed envelope to the other have different color backs!

AL BAKER'S STACKED DECK -Card cutting and estimation made precise and effortless! You'll instantly know how many cards a spectator cuts! No guesswork, no math to do in your head. And, you can repeat it.

OUT ON LOCATION - An extremely clever way to locate a freely selected card after a spectator places it "somewhere" in the middle of the pack (without your help) and then cuts the deck repeatedly.

EYES ALL AROUND - A spectator removes up to ten cards from a deck while your back is turned. You turn back around and have the spectator count off a few more cards from the face down deck and then hand one to you. Using that card, you touch the spectator's pocket. The spectator now tells you for the first time how many cards he took, for example, "Eight." You turn over the card you are holding and it is an eight spot! To prove it's not luck, you can repeat the effect several times more.

THE FALL OF THE WISE - Al Baker's sucker bit for the Three Card Monte to nail a wise guy.

A DIRTY TRICK -An extremely subtle way to apply graphite (as daub) to a card and identify a different freely selected card after it has been removed and the deck well shuffled.

THE ONE I LIKE -Instantly know which one of two objects on a shelf a person was holding. The only non-card trick in the lot. You'll have fun trying out this old mentalism technique.

All of the effects are virtually self-working and rely on subtle, clever methodologies rather than sleight of hand. Re-typeset, 12-page manuscript.
