"I read a lot of card books and I'm pretty critical on most. The main reason I plow through the depressing majority of them is the pleasure of an occasional find like this one. I've read many a heavy, slickly produced, high-priced and highly-hyped, full-color dust jacketed tome that didn't have a fraction of the solid card magic that Jack Carpenter provides in these pages... However good you think it's going to be, you 'll soon find it's even better." - Darwin Ortiz
The new routines, sleights and stratagems found in this ground breaking work will open eyes to what is really possible with a deck of cards. The methods employed in the card magic as well as in the gambling routines are about as diabolical as you can get-while at the same time, remaining very practical since every routine can be performed while surrounded! You will add many of these reputation making, blockbuster feature routines to your repertoire once you've experienced the impact of "A Devious Dance", "A Potent Presage" and "The D.C. Hustle," to name just a few!
Pages 102, fully illustrated, soft cover coil bound.

WANTED! Jack Carpenter for slaying audiences with high-powered card magic. Last known crime scenes - MULTIPLEX RESET - The suspect took four aces, signed by an innocent bystander, changed them one by one into kings, then caused the kings to instantly change back into aces. When asked where the kings were gone, the suspect produced them, each from a different pocket. By now the aces have vanished! When the bystander demanded to know where his aces were, the suspect brought each signed ace again from a different pocket!
NO TABLE ACES - The suspect was plainly seen to insert three face up aces into three different locations in a face down deck. He placed the ace of spades face up on top of the pack. Each time he riffled the cards a face-up ace rose to the top to join the ace of spades, until all four aces had gathered there. Then, with a final riffle, he forced the aces to return to their original positions in the deck! The suspect is also known to be expert at stacking and switching decks; dealing seconds, centers, and bottoms; and is said by reliable witnesses to be a master of the "Seattle Switch" and "West Coast Cooler." If seen at a card table, approach with caution. He is known to be armed and dangerous. As yet, no charges have been filed, as all his victims' report enjoying being fooled by him.
