This is Justin Higham’s largest card book for a decade, and contains an array of moves, subtleties, and effects. Although the format is a technical manual – or rather, a ‘dexterity manual’ – most items require only an intermediate level of manual dexterity.
CONTENTS INCLUDE:
The Anti-Gravity Shift – A one-handed pass as featured on Benjamin Earl’s ‘Past Midnight’ DVD, explained here in full detail with eight ‘covers’, including two by Will Houstoun.
Illogical Strip-Cut Force plus… – Those who liked the Illogical Dribble Force will appreciate the Illogical Strip-Cut Force, Illogical Spread Force, Illogical False Throw-Cut Force, One-Handed IDF and Illogical Riffle Force, all explained here (no knowledge of the Illogical Dribble Force is needed).
Logical Strip-Cut Force – For those who prefer logicality, Benjamin Earl offers this flexible and deceptive force of one or more cards.
Fake Zarrow Shuffle – For those who haven’t mastered a real one. Two versions are given.
CO2 – A bold, no-palming version of C.O. Williams’ popular card-to-pocket.
Biddle Appearance Sandwich – Two buried Kings instantly and visually appear on top of the deck with a selection sandwiched between them – no passes or difficult sleights.
Jungian Poker – A spectator thinks of one of five random cards, and the thought-of card is produced along with its matching straight-flush cards. No large stacks or false deals.
Spectator Cuts a Run of Seven – A ‘mega’ version of ‘Spectator Cuts the Aces’ based on Randy Wakeman’s popular method.
Digital Poker – A full house is pulled interlaced between the fingers from a shuffled, pocketed deck.
The Magician, The Fool, and The Wheel of Fortune – The names of three Tarot cards are spelt in any chosen order to arrive at three playing-cards, one of which is selected. This matches a tabled prediction.
Off-Center Coincidence – Two selections turn up together as cards are dealt simultaneously from two tabled halves. Nothing special – except the spectator shuffled the deck after the selections were lost. No palming or crimps.
Pseudo Topper – An impromptu version of Marlo’s ‘Mental Topper’, where a ‘mental selection’ is revealed along with its three mates. Can be done straightaway with a borrowed deck.
Intuitive 21-Card Trick – Identical to the classic lay person’s version…except the entire trick is done with the cards face down.
