DESCRIPTION

The last book Ted Annemann published was this work by his good friend, Jack Vosburgh. Vosburgh shared Annemann's predisposition toward brilliant, subtle card magic and believed that the real measure of a card trick's value was its effect on an audience in terms of mystery and drama. He had little time for the "hundred and one silly puzzles that only entertain fellow magicians." In this hard-to-find booklet, Jack Vosburgh explains 13 mental card effects from his own repertoire; including his famous "Future Deck" in which the magician predicts the spectator's freely selected card. Other incredible effects include: Clip - a vanished paper clip appears clipped to the spectator's card, while the deck in his pocket; My Number, Your Card - a spectator's freely selected card appears at the exact number predicted by the performer and written on another playing card; The Awful Truth - a fun lie detector trick where you are able to tell which spectators are lying and which are telling the truth; Pocket Change - cards with two different color backs change places while in the performer's and spectator's pockets (no gaffs and you can even use borrowed cards); About Face - your card and a spectator's card appear reversed in the deck; and much more. Plus, all of the effects are easy to do and rely on subtle principles rather than sleights. 18 pages, completely re-typeset.

Also available, Jack Vosburgh's second book, Little Miracles.
