One of the Few gems from the book
LArry Jennings - THE TURNOVER COAT
effect: A series of bewildering, antics wherein the Ace of Spades vanishes, turns over, change its colour, and reappers among a group of red number cards. Each antic of the Ace
of Spades is not only logical but thought provoking.
Paul Swinford- HIDDEN COUNT DOWN
EFFECT- Turning the classic trick of Dai Vernon's Hidden Countdown with the mixture with Ed Marlo;s Incomplete Faro SHuffle. Imagine having a spectator peek at one card from the deck and you just keep on faroing
the deck as much as you want and leting the specator cutting the deck as when they want it and you still able to find the card out. A sure Magician fooler.
Ed Marlo- MARLO RE-STACKING PACK

is invitied to call out any nmber between 1 to fifty-two. Peformer count down to the number and ask the spectator to remember the card at the choosen Number. The pack is again
shuffle and the second specatator call out a number and remember the card at that position. In fact this handling is carried out four times to each f the spectator.
To their utter amazment after all the shuffle and freely chosen numbers, each has arrived at four of a kind.
Any many more gem tricks in this book that worth every penny spent.
