"This is one of the great packet tricks. Bravo!"
- David Regal
"...a card trick that is not only a no brainer to perform, but certainly has the potential of becoming an instant classic. Whether you do strolling magic at parties, work behind the bar, table-hop at your local restaurant or just do tricks for friends and relatives, Entourage will have your spectators gasping in total disbelief. This is no hype friends, no exaggeration. Yes, this trick is that good."
- Steve Brooks (Featured review on the Magic Cafe)
"@#%*$&awesome!"

"Gordon's done it again. This kills."
- Cyril

Your audience won't believe their eyes, and you won't either! A group of standard, blue-backed Bicycle jokers suddenly bloom into glorious color on both backs and fronts. The routine included is perfect for strolling, with continuous, eye-catching transformations happening entirely in your hands. The gorgeous cards included are adaptable to many effects, and so is the Jinks Count, a visually deceptive yet mechanically simple new sequence. Along with the nine cards custom-printed by the U.S. Playing Card Company, Jinks includes comprehensive, photo-illustrated instructions. |

Starting with a bang, the effect builds to a killer climax, After a very clean transposition of a red ace and a black two -- happening right on a spectator's hand -- you'll be holding three cards face down. Though the audience will be convinced that these are a red ace and a pair of black twos, they will actually be three red aces, and you'll be able to deal these directly onto the spectator's hand. No extra cards. No cards stuck together. All fully examinable. And when you put the cards back into your breast pocket you'll be completely reset.
Even though no complicated sleight of hand is required, the lavishly photo-illlustrated instructions will guide you through every moment of the brief routine. It's like having Gordon right there, alongside you, teaching you in person.

Back in 1995, Gordon Bean released The Limited Edition in conjunction with Larry Jennings. Spurred by a prime-time performance by Harry Anderson, it quickly became a best-seller. Eugene Burger and Br. John Hamman were among those who worked out their own versions, and the effect went on to become a modern classic: After the spectator thinks of one card among six, that card alone goes blank!
Noticing that occasionally some spectators would ask if he could bring their card back, Gordon went work on a new version to make this possible. Until now a closely guarded secret, the end result is nothing less than a miracle: A spectator thinks of one card among six, and is asked to mentally tear a corner off the card, then make the rest of her mind blank. Without the selection being revealed, the cards are spread face down, and one card is seen to be missing its corner! When the faces are shown, the spectator confirms that the card missing its corner is what remains of her card. For the climax, the spectator mentally sends the torn corner back to the box, where it makes a magical appearance!
Still completely self-working, The New Limited Edition contains the original cards and routine, along with the extra cards necessary for the new climax. All of the cards were specially printed by the U.S. Playing Card Co. on Bicycle stock and no refills are needed. Also included is a card for another addition to the original effect: Before going blank, the back of the mental selection starts to visually fade away! The new instructions also include Eugene Burger's description of his routine for the original Limited Edition, as well as ideas from Max Maven for both the original and new versions of the effect.
Comes complete with all the necessary cards on Bicycle stock and 10-page, fully-illustrated instructions.

Each of four cards is shown to have a large star on its front and back. One of them then magically changes to a card covered with many stars! The remaining three cards then also change to cards with red stripes, and when the four are put together they form an American flag!
Comes Complete Easy to Perform |

Of the hundreds of people on whom Gordon Bean field-tested his new effect, Temptation, a particularly notable spectator was one Greg Simko, C.E.O. of the U.S. Playing Card Co. One evening, Mr. Simko was at The Magic Castle to discuss a custom deck being made for the film Shade, and when asked to perform an effect for him, Gordon brought out the Ace, Two and Three of Spades.
The routine's first phase sent the Three visibly from Gordon's right hand to his left hand, and Mr. Simko smiled. He had seen a lot of amazing sleight-of-hand and assumed this was more of the same. Next, the Ace jumped the other way, and Mr. Simko leaned forward. Finally, the Two jumped down to his own hand and Mr. Simko knew the only possible explanation. "You're using some of those special cards we printed for you." Gordon smiled and motioned for him to pick up the cards. Mr. Simko examined them with an expert's precision. "But they are ordinary Bicycles," said Mr. Simko. "The finest cards made," agreed Gordon with a smile. I wouldn't use anything else." No Sleight of Hand Required Photo-Illustrated Instructions Cards Made by the U.S. Playing Card Co. Cards May Be Examined "Temptation is the perfect walk-around version of Three-Card Monte. Since all the cards are examinable at the end, it is a practical as well as a mind-blowing effect." -Whit Haydn
