JERRY ANDRUS
Bizarre Shuffle
A very strange shuffling procedure that is both mystifying and very funny. In Jerry's hands this was liquid and smooth.

IAN BAXTER
CrackerJack Stack
A multi-phase die-stacking routine with a mentalism twist and a striking vanish of FIVE dice!

SIXTEN BEME
Clean Guillotine
A method for chopping off the tip of the finger that will fool anyone, magicians included.

STEVE DUSHECK
Quandary
Is it a silver coin or a copper coin? Neither, it's pure gold! A real worker's routine that Steve has been using for decades!

MIKE GALLO
Original, No Gaff, Reverse Matrix
Mike Gallo's now famous version of the Reverse Matrix. Inspired by Gertner's classic, Mike eliminated any extras. Seriously, JUST 4 coins, and four cards are used. This is a lesson in direct and powerful coin work.

RON HADLEY
Flipping Triumph
Ron cleverly applies a Looy Simonoff move to the Triumph Plot resulting in a stunningly tight routine. Neat and sweet.

Matchbox Load
A beautiful approach to secretly loading a coin (or folded card) into a matchbox. This is straight from Ron's pro performances from the mid 1980s.

Two Quick Routines
Two approaches allowing you to put Ron's wonderful loading technique to use.

Spread-action Palm
Ron applies some "Marlo-esque" thought to Harry Lorayne's take on Le Paul's Spread Pass.

DAVID HARKEY
Heat Vision
In 1987 David was a new kid on the block and I was thrilled to be able to publish his revolutionary material in both New Directions, and later, Simplicities. Here is his amazing "Heat Vision" Routine!

HARRY LORAYNE
Simple Lie Detector
A special treat here. I was to contributed to Harry's magazine and books over the years, and to have him return the favor with a contribution to my little magazine was a thrill indeed. This is a simple, but effective, Lie Detector Routine. Presented, of course, in Harry's own words.

ED MARLO
Olram's Hallucination
The origin of the 'effect' per se, can be found in The Jinx No 1, October 1934. It was an EDDIE CLEVER concept. The method to be described here eliminates the Second Deal and the Palm. A modified gimmick is used, and the deck is encased by elastic bands. Also, the three selected cards are produced from different pockets. Five NON-GAFFED handlings then follow.

The Upward Kick
Ed takes on Ben's notoriously tricky "SuperFlip" flourish and makes it a whole lot easier. Not to stop there, Ed then teaches 3 effects with the move!

Flexible Bottom Lift
A flexible multiple lift technique that works off the BOTTOM of the deck.

DANIEL McCARTHY
Spectator Cuts The Aces
Based on Marlo's "A Problem Posed" (36th method, New Tops, March 1962) this lovely handling convincingly allows four GENUINE cuts.

Dr. BILL NAGLER
Ultimate Aces
Bill describes an easy and effective Ace Cutting Routine with a surprise finish. The method is novel-it uses a Devano Deck.

JON RACHERBAUMER
Shaded Cards To Pockets
A novel look at this plot taking cues from Duffie and Marlo. Two cards repeatedly fly to two different pockets.

JAY SANKEY
Back Spin Special
This created a massive amount of interest when originally published in 1986. A coin is "back-spun" across the table and it magically cuts the deck-locating a previous selection.

JAY SANKEY/BEN HARRIS
De-Crease
This startling Torn & Restored Card handling grew out of a week-long session at a magic convention in Nashville. Highly visual, crease free, and with a great "sound".

JAY SANKEY
Geller Card
The precursor to Ben's gaffed card version (1988). This non-gimmicked card bending "moment" is completely hands free, and requires careful "timing" more than any great skill.

JAY SANKEY/RICHARD SANDERS
One For Fifty One
An ENTIRE DECK and a single card magically transpose under the most-visually compelling conditions. Mind-boggling, and a sign of what was to come from the young Sankey/Sanders team.
