Serial Number Divination (Marc Paul) Marc divines the serial number
on a borrowed bank note - ANY time - ANY where - without ANY preparation.
New to Marcs AAA series never before released! Shuffle
Challenge Too (Marc Paul) A hands-off miracle! You show a deck of cards
to be all different. These you then shuffle and then set in front of
the spectator. You do not touch them until the end of the effect. The
spectator is asked to think of a number between 1 and 52, this number
is a free choice and is never revealed to you. While the spectator is
concentrating on their number you make an open, verbal prediction of
a playing card, lets say the Five of Clubs. The spectator now
shuffles the cards and then they deal down to their secret number. When
they turn over the card that they randomly arrived at it is the Five
of Clubs. Back
to the Future (John Archer) Spectator thinks of a card in an invisible
deck. You remove that very card from an envelope that has been on the
table from the start. No card index used, but youd swear that
John had to have used one its that clean. Or you might
just swear! Fluke
(Wayne Dobson) A red and a blue deck are introduced, both cased. The
red deck is given to a spectator. You ask this person to THINK of any
number from 1 to 52 and then name it. They might say 27. You remove
the blue deck from its case and spread the cards face up on the table.
One face down card is seen in the middle. This proves to be the Four
of Spades. Turning back to the person with the red deck, you ask which
number they thought of earlier - he replies 27. He now removes red deck
and counts down to the 27th card. Miracle of miracles... the 27th card
is ALSO the Four of Spades! 58
to 1 (Stephen Tucker) Someone thinks of one of the 58 locations, and
you reveal it! ACAARN

are turned over to show that they spell out the selected name! Ungaffed
