CONTENTS:<\/span>

JERRY ANDRUS<\/span>
Bizarre Shuffle: A very strange shuffling procedure that is both mystifying and very funny. In Jerry\u2019s hands this was liquid and smooth.<\/span>

IAN BAXTER<\/span>
CrackerJack Stack: A multi-phase die-stacking routine with a mentalism twist and a striking vanish of five dice.<\/span>

SIXTEN BEME<\/span>
Clean Guillotine: A method for chopping off the tip of the finger that will fool anyone\uff0c magicians included.<\/span>

STEVE DUSHECK<\/span>
Quandary: Is it a silver coin or a copper coin? Neither\uff0c it\u2019s pure gold! A real worker\u2019s routine that Steve has been using for decades!<\/span>

MIKE GALLO<\/span>
Original\uff0c No Gaff\uff0c Reverse Matrix: Mike Gallo\u2019s now famous version of the Reverse Matrix. Inspired by Gertner\u2019s classic\uff0c Mike eliminated any extras. Seriously\uff0c just 4 coins\uff0c and four cards are used. This is a lesson in direct and powerful coin work.<\/span>

RON HADLEY<\/span>
Flipping Triumph: Ron cleverly applies a Looy Simonoff move to the Triumph Plot resulting in a stunningly tight routine. Neat and sweet.<\/span>

Matchbox Load: A beautiful approach to secretly loading a coin (or folded card) into a matchbox. This is straight from Ron\u2019s pro performances from the mid 1980s.<\/span>

Two Quick Routines: Two approaches allowing you to put Ron\u2019s wonderful loading technique to use.<\/span>

Spread-action Palm: Ron applies some \u201cMarlo-esque\u201d thought to Harry Lorayne\u2019s take on Le Paul\u2019s Spread Pass.<\/span>

DAVID HARKEY<\/span>
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\uff0c and later\uff0c Simplicities. Here is his amazing \u201cHeat Vision\u201d Routine!<\/span>

HARRY LORAYNE<\/span>
Simple Lie Detector: A special treat here. I was to contributed to Harry\u2019s magazine and books over the years\uff0c and to have him return the favor with a contribution to my little magazine was a thrill indeed. This is a simple\uff0c but effective\uff0c Lie Detector Routine. Presented\uff0c of course\uff0c in Harry\u2019s own words.<\/span>

ED MARLO<\/span>
Olram\u2019s Hallucination: The origin of the \u2019effect\u2019 per se\uff0c can be found in The Jinx No 1\uff0c 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\uff0c and the deck is encased by elastic bands. Also\uff0c the three selected cards are produced from different pockets. Five non-gaffed handlings then follow.<\/span>

The Upward Kick: Ed takes on Ben\u2019s notoriously tricky \u201cSuperFlip\u201d flourish and makes it a whole lot easier. Not to stop there\uff0c Ed then teaches 3 effects with the move!<\/span>

Flexible Bottom Lift: A flexible multiple lift technique that works off the bottom of the deck.<\/span>

DANIEL McCARTHY<\/span>
Spectator Cuts The Aces: Based on Marlo\u2019s \u201cA Problem Posed\u201d (36th method\uff0c New Tops\uff0c March 1962) this lovely handling convincingly allows four genuine cuts.<\/span>

Dr. BILL NAGLER<\/span>
Ultimate Aces: Bill describes an easy and effective Ace Cutting Routine with a surprise finish. The method is novel\u2014it uses a Devano Deck.<\/span>

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

JAY SANKEY<\/span>
Back Spin Special: This created a massive amount of interest when originally published in 1986. A coin is \u201cback-spun\u201d across the table and it magically cuts the deck\u2014locating a previous selection.<\/span>

JAY SANKEY\/BEN HARRIS<\/span>
De-Crease: This startling Torn & Restored Card handling grew out of a week-long session at a magic convention in Nashville. Highly visual\uff0c crease free\uff0c and with a great \u201csound\u201d.<\/span>

Geller Card: The precursor to Ben\u2019s gaffed card version (1988). This non-gimmicked card bending \u201cmoment\u201d is completely hands free\uff0c and requires careful \u201ctiming\u201d more than any great skill.<\/span>

JAY SANKEY\/RICHARD SANDERS<\/span>
One For Fifty One: An entire deck and a single card magically transpose under the most-visually compelling conditions. Mind-boggling\uff0c and a sign of what was to come from the young Sankey\/Sanders team.<\/span>
