As a professional specialized in close up and card magic he has a clear understanding of what makes an effect commercial. At the same time he is still enthusiast enough to put in the extra time and effort to make his tricks stand out from the crowd. With his impressive skill, intelligent presentation and contagious smile he is a well booked performer for business events and private parties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p-t-50\"\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForeword by Pit Hartling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch’em\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter demonstrating an impressive hand muck the magician outs an innocent spectator as professional card cheat and coaxes him into performing an even more incredible card switch!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuminous Readers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering to demonstrate how marked cards work, the magician shows a special pair of glasses that he claims reveals hidden markings on the back of the aces. One spectator is allowed to wear the glasses, and he notes that when he wears or removes the glasses, the backs of the aces change colors. The entire audience can see, however, that the aces are changing colors and the glasses have nothing to do with this. This is an updated handling and hilarious presentation to an often overlooked trick by Alex Elmsley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobin Hood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember how Robin Hood was so accurate that he could shoot an arrow and split it in half from another arrow in the target? The magician offers to demonstrate this with playing cards. A card is selected, signed, and shuffled back into the deck. The magician tosses another card 12 feet into the air, it boomerangs back, and lands in the deck. Spreading through the deck, the card is found not just next to the signed selection - it's actually ripping straight through the signed card!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFastest Card Trick in the World\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA two-phase visual transposition of the kings and aces, all of which can be signed.

For the finale, the entire deck is spread face up and check thoroughly for any mates. In an instant, every single card winds up paired with its mate! If you're looking for a strong trick to close a set or a show of close-up magic, this effect is hard to beat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNine Card Monte Revisited\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA game of follow the queen is played with eight jokers and one queen. When the spectator still loses, the magician shows that he tried to help them - every joker has magically changed into a queen except for the one the spectator chose. This version of the plot uses some easy to obtain gaffed cards so you can display the jokers in an extremely clean and fair manner, but at the end, the gaffs are gone and everything on the table can be examined. Honestly, this  is probably the best version of the Nine Card Monte that we've read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFar Out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the magician fooler in the book! Based on Steve Ehlers' Three Card Location, three spectators cut, remember a card, and shuffle their packets. The magician divines all three cards without touching the cards once. And for the finale, the magician names every card in one of the spectators' packets. No sleights required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOut of this Card Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA combination of sleight of hand and a mathematical idea allow you to perform Out of This World from a borrowed, shuffled deck. The entire deck is sorted by two spectators, there is no \"discard pile\", and there's a good chance that you already can do the one sleight required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagic Squared\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFour chosen cards from a special number deck add up to a freely selected number.

The spectator can flips each page and reads the instructions one at a time. First a card is selected, then signed, then cut into the deck. Then it vanishes. The spectator flips the last page to find their signed card is now bound into the book. Probably the most practical and direct version of José Carroll’s fantastic plot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003csmall\u003eDisclaimer: Instructions for a Miracle is based on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gkaps.com\/store\/p\/the-miracle-76.html\"\u003eJuan Manuel Marcos’ El Milagro\u003c\/a\u003e, which is a marketed trick. Friedrich's handling is fully explained, but the core detail of loading the card into the booklet is omitted out of respect to Juan Manuel Marcos.
