Includes: H.A.M. (Harris-Ackerman-Mendoza)--Fantastic change-transposition routine with a kicker finish. Combines the ideas of the three men mentioned above. The four Queens slowly change to three Aces, then the fourth Queen changes while untouched by the magician and the Queens reappear in a startling manner. The fourth Queen is found in the card case, which is visible on the table at all times. A Reading--The ultimate in coincidence effects wherein the spectator himself, without the magician touching the cards, finds the four Aces by dealing four piles and dealing out one card from each pile whenever he chooses. He then locates the Jacks, Queens and Kings completely! A Minor Triumph--Triumph done with only nine cards. One card is selected and then returned to the packet. The cards are slowly and deliberately alternated face up and face down. Now with no moves, whatsoever, the packet is spread and all the cards are seen to face the same way except the selected card. No gimmick cards are used. Multiple Spellbound--Not for the beginners. Four half dollars transpose from hand to hand and then are "rolled down" in the left hand between the fingers. In this display, each is merely stroked with the right hand and changes to copper until all four displayed coins are now ! Then they change back to silver half dollars and are tossed for examination. Skill and practice required. Miller(?) Wild Card--No hand version of Wild Card, in that, there appears to be no moves, yet four cards visibly change to the wild card and the remaining four change while all eyes literally burn the deck. This is new, never before in print. Requires a set of "Wild Cards" and one matching card. Nelson’s Drunken Shuffle--If you double undercut, you can do this effect. Deck is shuffled, face up and face down and shown really mixed. Magician then cuts an Ace. He repeats the second Ace in slow motion then cuts the third Ace face up. Finally, on the last Ace he asks someone to name a card. Before he can even finish naming the card, the magician cuts the pack and the named card is staring the audience in the face. That card is used as an indicator and its value counted down, the final Ace is found at that number! The deck is turned over and all the cards are righted. No turnovers or sleights to correct the deck. A great routine and easy to do! All the above material is 100% audience tested before magicians and, more importantly the paying public.
