card from their packet. Their card is returned and each packet
is shuffled and traded . They each select a card from the other's
packet. They then discover - they have each picked the other person's

ENGLISH 3 CARD MONTE: (Pat Page) -
A great "3 Card Monte" effect that's all done in one
hand. No odd moves, with one WILD visual change. This is one of
MY all time favorites. The cards are simply turned face down and
they can't find the odd card. At the end - they actually watch the
odd card vanish. It looks like it simply melts away. It really
looks spooky. Available in poker size in just about any back.

FACE THE FACTS:
(B. McComb, Bob Haines & N. Lester) The deck is also known
as the "McComb-illogical Deck." This can be a hilarious
fortune telling, or card reading routine, Depending on you. It's
not a "trick". The audience thinks you are balmy - until
the end of the routine. I do it straight faced and seriously.
It gets a lot of laughs. This only comes in BRIDGE size - but
doesn't really matter. Those who have it, LOVE IT ! (The 52 different
backs are not seen until the end; only 52 of all-the-same faces!)
I guarantee you will enjoy it. All white bordered $20.00 (Limited amount)

is magnetic. They are almost two cards thick, using magnetic rubber. .
Poker $10.00 Jumbo $15.00

a dark brown wallet, or checkbook, they are nearly invisible and
will pick up a steel core card plus some normal cards. They may
also work inside of a thin wallet. $1.00 ea. Magnetic on only one side.
McCOMBICAL PREDICTION (B.
McComb) - Two packets of cards are shown. The magician selects
a card from one pack, shows it to everyone except his helper and
sets it aside. The helper selects a card from the other packet,
but doesn't show the audiance (it matches the card the magician
showed the audiance). At the climax, both cards are shown and
they DO match, . BUT ... they are totally different from the card
the audience saw selected originally. The audiance is fooled,
and the helper has no idea of what happened. GOOD FUN!

MIND KNOWS, THE (N. Lester)
They find a card by looking ONLY at the BACKS. You spread the
deck face down, to show 52 backs, then face up, to show it is
mixed. It is turned face down. After having a helper cut the deck
a few times, you spread it again. THEY slide out one card from
the face-down, spread deck and look only at the back. They slide
it to a second person. The second person looks at the face and
returns it to the deck and you square it. THEY then cut the deck
several times and you re-spread the deck. The first person selects
one of the cards, face down, after looking ONLY at the backs,
The second person names the card they looked at and when the card
is turned face up - it IS the one they originally picked. (I came
up with this, and showed 5 people at the Castle, 4 bought it on
the spot.)

(Not instantly repeatable. You are always right.) no skill
PALEFACE CARDS: (A. Alan / H.
Bennett) - A "gambling type routine" with a surprise
ending. After shuffling the cards face and back up, you explain
(?) how marked cards are used. To illustrate one way they are
used - one card is selected and half of the deck is spread on
the table. To illustrate, you then remove a card from your face up half of the
deck and put it into the tabled spread. You turn your back while
the person returns his card to the spread and the deck is reassembled.
After some by-play the whole deck is ribbon spread face up on
the table and IT IS ALL BLANK, except for the selected card. All
can be examined. This is an excellent routine. I closed my Castle,
close-up act with this funny bit.
Bicycle $20.00 Aviator $17.50
"THE PERFECT WAVE":
(N. Lester) A person shuffles the deck. They cut it
into 4 piles. You hand them a wallet and tell them it has a Jack in it
that is reversed to the other 3 cards. They are to tap the piles
with it and decide which pile has the matching Jack in it. They
deal out the cards face up, until they come to a Jack. You open
the wallet and spread the cards. The matching Jack is the only
reversed card. The other 3 cards are BLANK. You never
touch the deck.

SECOND SIGHT:
(R. Wilson) - Similar to R. Hull's "Magnetic Mental Control."
An unknown red backed card is placed in a blue deck and the deck
is cut, or overhand shuffled. The deck is turned face up. A spectator
THINKS of one of the cards, as you run through the deck. They
are then asked which card THEY thought of. That card is then located
and removed from the deck. The deck is then shown to have all
blue backs. The card they mentally selected is turned face up
and it IS the red card. Bicycle. or Tally-Ho backs. Instructions

and one on the back. The climax is, both signatures end up in
the same card. $ 3.00
SLIPPERY SPOTS: (N. Lester)
The magician has the 5 of Spades "freely selected."
He then bangs the long edge of the card on the table and shows
that the pips have slid to the edge of the card. He then bangs
the narrow end of the card on the table and it is seen that all
of the pips have slid down and are all scrunched up in the corner.
To do it well, you should have some card handling skill. Blue
