Each of these effects have been honed over countless performances, into the strong magic pieces they are now. Cody tips everything, including all of the gags and bits of business, that make these outstanding tricks into the strong pieces of magical entertainment, that they are.

If you have read Cody's column, for which he was voted "Columnist of the Year," you will know him to be knowledgeable and creative magician and an excellent teacher. It's no surprise that he is the same in person. You will find, he explains his practical, mind-blowing magic clearly and in detail. This is not only professional magic that will make you money, but killer, reputation making for real world situation.

THE HEADACHE TRICK- This trick will also teach you the following original moves:
-Blank Card Theory - In-Jog Riffle Force - A very easy and convincing way to force a card

Floating Match

Floating match

A match is placed across a playing card. At the magicians command the match rises and floats above the card. Another card is passed under the match to prove it is floating. The match then floats down and rests on the card. Very simple and very deceptive.

With great pleasure and pride, MAGICO presents Fetsching Magic: The Life and Legacy of Hen Fetsch by Robert Kirkwood Spence. Here is a long overdue testimonial to the untold influence of a gifted Twentieth Centrury magician's magician, who might well be called "The Father of the Modern Magic Lecture."

"...In an era when inventors are all but forgotten and books of practical platform magic are a rarity, Mr. Spencer is to be saluted for reviving memories of a wonderful magician and for bringing Hen Fetsch’s magic tricks to the attention of a new generation of performers..." Steve Bryant

The street swindle becomes a visually stunning routine. An amazing three card monte effect with a surprising finish!

Only a couple of simple moves (which are easy and taught in the instructions) are required to perfrom this classic.

Super strong effect that packs a wallop, comes complete with Bicycle factory printed cards, a special made wallet.

Imagine having in your pocket a powerful demonstration of thought reading. Perform one on one, or on the largest stage.

Diction is based on ideas from Ray Hyman, C.L. Boarde, and several others combined with practical additions I discovered through real world performances. More importantly…you will be provided with the perfect tools to carry a monster mental effect in your pocket. What could be more innocent than a pocket dictionary? Not to mention it has over 35,000 words and definitions! Impressive.

IF I pulled out a book you have never seen before you might be suspect, but this innocent and handy pocket dictionary is completely normal and examinable! Not to mentioned it is a Webster’s New World Dictionary, which is the most commonly recognized dictionary in the WORLD.

Diction can be performed for one person at the coffee shop or for 800 people in a theater. Several subtle techniques are combined to create an unexplainable feat of mentalism.

You introduce Webster’s pocket dictionary containing over 35,000 defined words. You have a page selected by people choosing random numbers. No cards, dice, or math of any kind are used to select a page in a contrived way. Lets say page 42 is selected. The person holding the dictionary is asked to turn to that page. The performer can now instantly reveal AT LEAST TWO WORD REVELATIONS FOR ANY PAGE SELECTED. Not only that but the performer can even give details about the word and even full definitions!

1. The most important prop is this Webster’s New World Pocket Dictionary. Note that this dictionary is ideal for carrying in your pocket and repeat use. It is NOT a paperback. Unlike most paperback dictionaries it won’t fall apart and become warn quickly due to its plastic cover. Feel free to toss it in the audience if you like. It will take a good lickin’. It can also be examined.

4. BONUS ROUTINE Emotional Reaction Book Test. Inspired by Larry Becker, Dany Tong, David Hoy, and Dai Vernon.

".....I couldn’t believe how devilishly simple and yet so powerful it was. The best part is that I was able to do it within minutes of opening the package. I couldn’t wait to do it for the guys last night because this is a must have. Very clever indeed Mr. Kranzo."- Aaron DeLong

”Simple, practical, strong, and fits in your back pocket. What more could you ask for?”- Lee Asher

A set of specially gimmicked stainless steel neck shackle for the escape artist.

While they can be examined and appear completely innocent, they will permit you to escape in seconds.

Ideal for use with wrist shackles, neck irons and other similar props for escape acts.

A fabulous childrens routine perfect for those priceless"photo opportunities". Originally sold by Supreme Magic, now remade and re-released at last ! Four children are invited on stage to take part in a fashion parade... One by one they turn around to show they are "wearing" comedy costumes. a Clown, Swimmer, Strongman and a Ballerina. Opps the boy has the Ballerina costume and the girl is the Strongman... After all the "bits of business" a winner is chosen and you magically take a picture of them. A real stage filler a great addition to any childrens performance. Made in silk screened, heavy duty card to last. Highly recommended.

Then all four backs have different designs, and both fronts and backs can be shown!

Red and black cards seperate magically, plus a stunning climax which will fool magicians!

Is it mind reading? Is it suggestion? A self working mind illusion which resets instantly!

Comes complete with the cards required to perform both effects and DVD instructions

The performer produces four golf balls, one by one. Each one is placed between the fingertips of the right hand. This seems like the end of the effect, but a surprise awaits the audience with the production of a giant golf ball!

With golf being one of the world's most popular sports, you cannot find a more commercial routine than this. The addition of one of these routines to your repertoire will create an instant connection with your audience.

This set includes 4 white sponge golf balls, one yellow sponge golf ball, one giant white sponge golf ball, and photo-illustrated instructions for 3 routines! These are not made from the regular goshman sponge, these are slighty harder and look like a golf ball rather than a white sponge ball!

An envelope containing four cards is seen. A spectator freely names any one of the four kings. The cards are removed and fanned showing the selected king is the only one face up. Now for the kicker...when this freely selected card is turned over, it has a different colored back than the other three!

Parade of the Kings is a real mind-blowing effect printed on Poker Sized Bicycle cards!

A fan of four cards are shown, three identical and one odd. The fan is closed and a couple of cards are moved. Two are face up and two are face down, giving the spectator a more than fair chance to select the odd card, but time after time they never find it, even when cards are eliminated from the fan.

One of the most exciting projects in magic. On this DVD are countless Ken Brooke movies showing him demonstrating and performing some of his classic routines together with many effects from Harry Stanley's Unique Magic Studio in London ... but best of all ....

Patrick Page has provided a remarkable and informative live sound commentary for this fabulous DVD

Amongst the many Unique Studio items were a number of silent movies and many of these featured the amazing magic of the amazing Ken Brooke – one of the most loved British magicians of all time.

Patrick Page was kind enough to view all of these Harry Stanley films and has provided a highly informative voice-over commentary on all of the effects that you will see on this DVD. Patrick Page knew Ken Brooke very well and he knew the tricks that Ken performed and here you will not only see Ken Brooke at work but will also hear a great deal about the history of the tricks and routines he performed.

There are many, many delightful Ken Brooke interludes that will take old timers down memory road and which will inspire relative newcomers to magic as well.. It is all here from the Chinese Linking Rings KB ring count to the KB Coin Box plus many of the tricks featured over the years in the Unique Studio catalogues.

As a very special bonus Patrick Page also allowed us to include some sound material. This was filmed just before Ken died so sadly. The sound material filmed by Vic Pinto and Patrick Page includes Chase the Ace and The Chop Cup routine and even the wonderful Tamariz Rabbits. Oh what a treat awaits every viewer!

These Medium Sized Set of Cups have been turned in Purple Heart Wood...this distinctive exotic wood offers an unusual colour with an open 'feather' grain which becomes darker and more vivid as the wood oxidises...

The height of the cups is approx 3.75" with a generous opening of 2.75", the elegant & simple lines of the cups allow the natural beauty of the wood to speak for itself, a tapered design which follows through to the inside of the cup with a dome feature inside the cup... and a matching reverse 'recess' on the outside top.

The Cups have a turned shoulder on the bottom edge, with a further matching shoulder just under halfway up the cup for perfect stacking.

This wood although beautiful does not have the weight or density of many exotics and as such the overall weight of these cups is lighter in the handling...this set will find equal admirer's from both 'Working Magician's' and Collectors...offering an unusual wood, but with an original and distinctive element to this 'classic of magic' for those who relish the 'signature' of hand crafted turned wooden magic!

Finally a book test that you can perform with almost ANY book from a thriving, up and coming mentalist! On this DVD David Taylor shares with you the inner workings of this fantastic piece of mentalism. David has honed the routine over many performances in his professional act and once you learn the principle you will be able to apply it to almost any book, in any language very easily. The one-time setup of the book is easy to do and will only take you around twenty minutes.

Imagine a dictionary containing many thousands of words, with your head turned away from the, you riffle down the pages of the book and your spectator calls STOP at ANY point. With your head still turned your spectator notes the word at the top of their selected page. The book is now handed to the spectator to hold and now without ever touching the book again and with no fishing you divine their thought of word with 100% accuracy!

Remember - there is absolutely NO FORCE of neither the page nor the word! This word will be different every time and can be repeated instantly. Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to present a high impact, no-nonsense piece of mentalism that will blow your audiences away!

For the first time, David shares with you his fantastic Secret Santa routine! Imagine being able to have a spectator choose any item from a catalogue, a loved one's name and an amount of money to spend on that person and then one-by-one you can reveal EXACTLY each thing that they are thinking of! This effect can be performed in a multitude of situations and is a well-constructed, direct, multi-phased routine that you will love to perform and once again there is absolutely NO FORCE of item, name or value!

As a bonus, we have also included an explanation of "The Hoy Book Test" which is a totally impromptu, ungaffed book test that is used by top mentalists all around the world!

GJ 6 Cards to Pocket (Gary Jones' signature routine), CC Cards to Pocket, CC Cards to Pocket, GJ Pocket to Pocket (incorporating Gary's Ambitious Card), GJ Repeat Signed Cards to Pocket, Top Con Control, John Carey's inspired by Lance (performed by Christopher Congreave), GJ's No Sleep Plus

GJ 3Fly, CC3Fly, GJ Coins Across, CC Coins Across (with Shell), GJ Free Fly, CC Expensive Fly, GJ Pop Up Coins Plus

A two phase routine that can be performed together or separately. An image from a Bicycle card box is captured in a mirrored penknife. The reflection remains "trapped" in the mirror until it is knocked out. The reflection actually falls out of the mirror!

In the second phase of the routine a spectator's selection appears in the mirror!

Here's what the audience sees: The mentalist displays a black, cloth bag and asks five members of the audience to decide on some personal object they have on their possession. Approaching each person, the performer looks away and has each drop his or her object into the bag. Shaking the bag to mix the items, the mentalist reaches in and withdraws one. Using his powers, he deduces certain characteristics of the owner and then returns it to the proper person. This continues with four of the five items. Obviously knowing the owner of the final object, the mentalist proposes a different test. Without taking out or looking at the object, he correctly divines what it is before removing and returning it.

It was Annemann’s “Pseudo-Psychometry” which first popularized the basic effect of identifying spectators’ personal items and returning them. His routine used a number of envelopes for the items to be sealed in. After collecting all of them, one was ripped open and, after holding and analyzing it for a bit, the item was returned to the correct spectator. This was continued with all of the envelopes.

Over the years, there have been dozens of variations and all manner of props. Perhaps the reason the effect has been given so much attention is there is a lot of room for enhancement in this type of routine. Because the performer can give a personality reading along with achieving the basic test of identifying the owner, it can be built into a feature number. However, never before has such a vital tool been offered to the mentalism community as the S.O. S. Bag. It's so fair in appearance, yet quickly and easily gives you all of the information you need to know to apparently demonstrate psychometric abilities.

The diabolical secret is all an integral part of the specially-crafted, handmade bag. This is not a craft store item reworked to do a magic trick. The S.O.S. Bag went through several modifications to arrive at the present design. Almost a foot square in size, each is handmade from a durable black fabric that will last a lifetime.

More than a trick, the S.O.S. Bag is an act in itself, allowing for limitless presentational possibilities.

Includes custom-made cloth bag, photo-illustrated instructions & performance tips.

Ken Driscoll has modernized and perfected this classic Larry Becker mentalism effect.

Ken has made the effect a little more commercial for the walk-around, close up, and platform performer.

He combines both classic patter from Becker, as well as his own suggestions, leaving the performer with several options for a great performance.

A great table hopping effect that can fill a stage. A banknote, £5-50 (depending on the audiences you work for), or even a large value cheque, is securely locked into a clear plastic frame with the "WONDERLOCK". The lock will only open with one of the five keys supplied. This can be demonstrated before snapping the lock shut if required. Four audience members are asked to chose one of the five keys, the remaining key is for the Magician (that's you). Each of the audience memebers in turn tries their key in the lock. AT ANY TIME they can change their key with the magicians key Even so, after all the audience’s keys have been tried and will not open the lock, the magician’s key WILL OPEN IT!

Master Locksmith Mick Hanzlik has created what has become the ultimate lock and key effect. WONDERLOCK is a precision piece of engineering; The WONDERLOCK kit comes complete with WONDERLOCK, plexiglas frame, five keys and full instructions.

An absolute killer effect: Small props yet it can be a feature stage presentation or and intimate close up effect. Perfection!

For those who don't know, the Horwitz Wallet enables the performer to perform a number of effects including the miracle card in wallet effect. What makes this wallet so different that all the changes and the tricky business all takes place when the SPECTATOR put the wallet in his own pocket. Everything is done openly and there is no palming involved. The wallet has inspired a number of effects many of which are in the book of instructions. There is a brilliant Just Chance with Bank Notes and Envelopes which are burnt. One of the best effects with the wallet baffled everyone when Basil first demonstrated it. A card is selected and signed and placed in the wallet and then put in a spectator's pocket. the spectator is then blindfolded The spectator is asked to hold his arm or hand over the pocket containing the wallet. The performer openly pickpockets the spectator and removes the signed card from the wallet and put the wallet back in the spectator's pocket.

The crunch is that the spectator has no idea how he has been pickpocketed until the performer shows that he now has the signed card and the spectator discovers to his amazement that the wallet in his pocket is completely empty. Be warned that this great effect requires two Horwitz Wallets.

Back in 1982 Basil Horwitz gave a special seminar on the wallet here at the IBM Convention which was held at my new home town of Brighton. The Seminar was unusual in that all participants had to be the owners of one of these wallets. At least fifty people turned up for what might well be described as the most exciting event of that IBM Convention.

Whilst their back is turned the magician invites a spectator to choose one of five different coloured cards.

The magician then repeats the effect, this time the cards are placed in envelopes and mixed up...But still the amazing magician finds the envelope containing the chosen coloured card.

The English version of Scotch and Soda. But magnetic and even more versatile!!! The variations of effects possible are limited only by your imagination. Imagine placing a 1p coin and a £1 coin on the table placing a glass over them and twirling the glass around the coins when you stop only the £1 is left the 1p has completely disappeared. Placing the coins in the hand of a spectator and making the 1p penetrate thru their hand or vanish and reappear in yours hand leaving them with only the £1…All this and more.

Routines
Triple Twisted Zendwich [Evocation Monthly Newsletter] – Zenneth’s super easy handling of the Twisted Collectors plot.
Random thoughts at the time of writing this booklet
Card Thru Table – This method can only be done in one on one situation, but it looks absolutely clean and innocent.

The second 8th mini card act of Zenneth’s 10 mini card acts, a bread and butter item comes out directly from the Zenneth’s repertoire, it consists four interlinked effects:

By Play – Two set of four of a kind literally exchange their positions, wait, they are not, this phase will definitely puzzle your spectators.

Climax - The highlight of this mini card act is ReZet, which is Zenneth’s personal handling of Paul Harris’s Reset. Zenneth teaches a fresh and interesting presentation of the plot and a great colour change – The Misdirection Change, this routine also comes with possibly the best ever clean up devised for Reset.

It Really Happens – Here you will learn two real stories of Zenneth when performing this act, and two additional edges that you will have if you bring the necessary cards with you.

Bonus Effect: Eight Cards Opener - An ace cutting demonstration with a surprise ending of the appearance of four Kings! The Ace cutting part is a fooler, your spectator will believe you are a super card expert, the good news is you don’t have to be a real card expert to perform it. With some alternations, this routine can be an ideal alternative for the original opener of this act.

Life is Dangerous - This is a technically easier version of Jerry Sadowitz’s Prone to Live Dangerously.

Strange Prediction - This is a small kicker finish to Roy Walton's Strange Prediction which makes it appear that the spectator has managed to find four of a kind in addition to his own selection.

The Other Face of the Queen - This is a popular trick in Hong Kong and uses the fact that not all Queens in a pack of cards look in the same direction.

No Money No Honey - This is a variation of The Gem-Money Cards by Allan Ackerman & Dean Dill.

3 Phases Monte - After the performance of No Money No Honey, we can proceed to this three phase Monte routine and make use of the three notes left on the table as part of the presentation.

Transitivity - Not another card trick, but an intriguing manipulation sequence which deceives your spectator’s attention.

Biddled Across by Benny Lau - A fresh and brilliant presentation for the classic Biddle trick.

All the way from Hong Kong, Zenneth "The Bruce Lee of Card Magic" Kok brings you some of his signature pieces. In this DVD, Zenneth will perform and explain some of his most treasured items in full detail:

Explosion - A blend of three visual effects; Ambitious Card, Inversion and Colour Changing Deck, this routine features Shigeo Futagawa's Elevator Move

Zenneth Alignment Move Workshop - this is a highly versatile move. You will learn details of the mechanism and many applications of this move: The Edge Change, Ambidextorous Sandwich and more...

Jet Twist (Stand up Version) - An impromptu handling of Zenneth's previously marketed item - Impossible Twist. Four Kings turn face down one at a time in a progressively impossible manner, while the Twisting sequence is already a killer, the transformation of the four Aces at the end will render your spectator speechless!

The Cheek of the Monster (Performance Only) - Zenneth's variation and addition to Ray Kosby's The Other Cheek: Twisting, Collectors and Colour Changing Deck.

3 Times 3 (Third Time) - The 3rd Act, a three phases extreme visual manipulation of Ace, 2 and 3 that you can do entirely stand up, this is one of Zenneth's most performed routines.

The 7th Act - This is Zenneth's take on the ReCollectors plot, one of his most treasured mini card acts, a 6 minutes card act packed full of visual effects and the best of all, no preparation is needed.

The Killer Opener - The name says it all. This is a killer. One of the best shrinking card case effects ever, a perfect opener for you card act. The best thing of all is that it is almost sleight free!

Card Under the Badge - Cards have been loaded under a glass and inside a wallet for ages...Now they have one more impossible location to go!!

Not for the faint of heart, serious card magicians will love this! I have had the pleasure of seeing some of these live.

Here is the oppurtunity to get the Zenneth Code (his DVD featuring his card act, colour changes and the Zenneth alignment move plus more!) and the Killer Badge, an excellent prop for card magic that allows some extremely visual magic

15 Maneuvers, Cards You Softly, 8 Cards Act II, The Zenneth Code DVD and Killer Badge all for the amazing price of £50!!!!

You take out a deck of cards from a plastic box, you open the case and remove the top card explaining that you are going to make it vanish. You then put the card back into its case and then place the case back into the box. Now, right under the spectators noses, the whole deck vanishes. You can clearly see through the box. This is a self contained effect and there are no sleights of any kind used.

‘Talking Tape’ (I think ribbon is more appropriate since the tape doesn’t fit the definition of ‘tape’) has ridges that you can rub your nail along to and listen to the encoded message.

I think it is a really cool idea to continue to use phonograph technology, and will certainly impress the person in your life who is hard to impress.

A spectator is asked to select a card from a deck. The magician then drags his fingernail along the red ribbon attached to a card box, to hear a voice speak out the name of the spectators selected card!

You recieve two strings that speak out "You choose the Queen of Hearts" and "You choose the Four of Clubs".

You will Choose The Ace of Diamonds
I'm A Stryo cup, Buy Me!
I Like You
Please Kiss Me
Laughing... Ha... Ha... Ha...

Also available are a variety of gag strings that you may find fun to put into your routine!

Finally, an EASY to do "Card at Your Birthday" diary trick, with NO MEMORY, NO CALCULATIONS in your head, NO cue sheets to hide. Just use your favorite deck of playing cards and Kenton's unique secrets.

A deck of cards is spread faces to the spectator. The performer NEVER looks at the faces. The spectator names her birthday, and the performer sets one card down sight unseen - even by him. If you prefer, the spectator herself can cut or take a card and set it aside.

The performer mentions how personality types and cards often go together. He may do a reading at this point if desired, or skip it if he does not wish to do so.

A large, full-color chart that has been sitting on the table the entire time is opened by the spectator. She finds her birth date, and notes which card is listed as "her special card" on that day. Sure enough, this very card is the one she selected, or the performer set aside sight unseen.

You can use your own REAL deck and your own REAL pocket calendar or business organizer. But Kenton has created a beautiful chart, very esoteric in appearance. He did not stop there...

It's like a readings business kit. The chart is a very large 17 X 11 inches when open. The front cover of the chart is just as pictured above. You can't help but look at it! This works as an advertising card for your readings or performance.

Set the chart up on any table, anywhere, and you are set to do readings with no work whatsoever. The readings are written for you on the inside of the chart. Your opening remarks are hidden on the back side of the chart, or this can be read by prospective clients if you prefer.

NEVER has an "instant readings" kit been so easy, so commercial, so immediate. Whether you're a pro or an amateur, this is for YOU. Set the chart on your table (it opens like a book) and the front and back covers grab everyone's attention. They see instantly that you do some sort of reading.

The rest is just as easy, as incredible as that may sound. It is SIMPLE to get to the spectator's secret birth card without memory, cue sheets or anything else. With Kenton's ingenious thinking behind it all, the hard work has been done for you. All you do is spread the cards between your hands. Yes, the cards can be examined. It is in no stack known to man, so magicians and mentalists are floored too.

We just cannot say enough about this remarkable system by Kenton. Whether you use it to go to work doing readings right away, to add readings to your close-up, or to do the best version ever of the card-at-your-date trick, we predict you will be thrilled by this special kit!

Comes with the FULL color four page chart and sign, 17 X 11 inches printed (not color copied) on gloss stock. A very professional set up. You also get Kenton's instructions for the chart, different ways to use it, varied presentations, numerous linguistic tricks incorporated in the set up, and loads of simple ways to do personality type readings without fear of being wrong, giving bad advice, or getting stuck. You will always end strong, no matter what.

Close-up Master Henry Evans strikes again with this clever effect that happens right in the spectator's hand!

Several rubber bands are dropped into hand of the spectator. The spectator is instructed to close their hand and in an instant the magician has the spectator open the hand to show that all the bands are now linked in a continous chain...and can be examined!

You will recieve complete instructions and all materials you need to perform this incredible effect.

Here's a fun routine for the classic Two In The Hand, One In The Pocket. You approach your audience with a closed fist and ask someone to guess what's inside. Finally, you tell them..."8 Balls!" With that you open your hand to reveal three miniature 8 Balls (made from rubber). You place one ball in your pocket and then close your hand around the other two. In a wink, your hand is opened to reveal...8 balls, but three instead of two! Again, you place a ball in your pocket and again it appears back in your hand! Finally, you try one more time. But this time when you open your hand there's only one ball...but it's a full size rubber replica of an 8 Ball!

The performer offers his brightly coloured magic wand to a child who is helping with one of the tricks, taking the wand the audience is surprised to see that the performer still has a wand of a different colour in his hand!, the magician now holds yet another wand of a different colour. Requesting his helper to place one of the wands under his arm the magician offers the wand once again, Oh dear! it's multiplied again! Things are getting out of hand, or should we say, the child is running out of hands! The performer puts this wand under the child's chin! The audience are in fits of laughter as this is repeated until seven brightly coloured wands are positioned all over the child's body, in his hands, under the chin, under his arms and between his knees. It's easy to perform and guarantees laughs galore with this riot of fun and colour a must in true childrens entertainers repotoire!

These are handmade ... I have only few left of these as they are the last that he is making!

Two fully-examinable, 24-inch cords pass through each other like smoke, linking and unlinking in increasingly impossible ways, without the benefit of gimmicks, boxes, or difficult sleight-of-hand. Next, a finger ring is borrowed, then threaded onto one cord, whereupon it travels instantly and impossibly to the other. And that`s just the beginning!

18 tricks and techniques are taught on this detailed DVD featuring Duraty's legendary strings-and-ring routine! Every phase is eye popping, every method ingenious, and the routine can be performed close-up or on stage!

Comes with the perfect cords and rings so you can start learning this astonishing miracle right away!

This is a beautiful piece of Magical Apparatus that will leave your audience spellbound... a spectator vanishes their own finger ring only to have it re-appear inside a sealed perspex tube on the stem of a Red Rose! All you have to do is return the ring and collect your well deserved applause.

Patrick Page reveals this very clever self-working routine in comprehensive notes supplied with this 'must have' effect. Very versatile with many applications... but is strongest when used with a 'real' Red Rose and delivered to a special lady!

The 'Ring Vanish' compliments The Ring a Ring a Rosie to perfection and allows you to perform a miracle with confidence... sighting a choice of rings and enhancing the above routine... no sleight of hand needed. Ring a Ring a Rosie and Ring Vanish, sold together as a complete working effect.

You start by showing nine small solid brass engraved lettered tiles that when assembled make the word STARTLING. You then offer to show something STARTLING with a deck of cards. A card is chosen by spectator and placed face down on the table in front of them. Attention is then drawn to the brass tiles and the word STARTLING. One by one a single letter is removed, and each time another word is formed. This continues until just the letter 'I' remains. The discarded letters are then rearranged and amazingly they spell the name of the chosen card.

This is Rudy Hunter's version of the Bill in Lemon, but what a version. You get the 12 page booklet with 10 illustrations taking you step by step through this; Stand-Up , Gaffless, Signed, Borrowed, any denomination Bill in Lemon or any other fruit you choose to use.
