DESCRIPTION

Legendary card man Jack McMillen's self published notes from his 1981 Magic Castle lecture. Novel, clever card magic and other effects. Material includes: The Barbary Coast Scam where two red aces though separated in the deck astonishingly unite; Shade Work - a pseudo marked deck quickie; The Old Gambler - McMillen's version of the Elevator effect with a surprise finish where the card penetrates the table top; From Another Deck - an entertaining two-deck routine performed with a spectator; Witchcraft Updated and The VooDoo Card Rise - two more sleight of hand card rises from the inventor of the Plunger Card Rise; Quick Silver - a coins across routine with two silvers and two coppers; Coin, Ring and Silk - a half dollar penetrates a hank after it is secured with a borrowed ring (a favorite of Senor Mardo); The San Francisco Shuffle, although the cards are apparently thoroughly mixed by dropping them haphazardly together, when ribbon-spread they are equally divided into reds and blacks; and finally, a beautiful version of the real Three Card Monte named "Don't Ever Bet on a Sure Thing." 28 pages, re-typeset, plus we've added with two bonus supplemental items (not in the original notes).

Also available...The McMillen Card Rise, The 3 Card Monte for Magicians, and Bill Simon's Controlled Miracles.
