Y AY OF A E./NN/N.

%! friend &rank Lane has asked me to stand sponsor for this ook. 'ust wh! hehas put this pleasant ut superfluous task to m! pen ma! e something of am!ster! to those admirers who are aware of his impatient aversion from all

kinds of introductor! folderols and friles. (uite rightl! he will have it that aook# like good wine# needs no ush. ) favorite theor! of his is that no onereads a preface an!wa!# and I agree with him. *o one likes to e led ! thenose ! those professional cicerones who are forever forcing us to see justwhat the! judge it wise for us to see and to do onl! what the!# in their infiniteoredom# id us to do. The! spoil ever!thing# these self+imposed guides#whether it e a hallowed shrine we are rowsing through or an adventurewe,re aout to set out upon in the pages of a ook.

I confess that at first his choice astonished me as much as it proal! does the

reader. I am still a it surprised# even as I write the line !ou have nowfinished. -ut I think that I have at least some apprehensive inkling of hismotive. It is not that an!thing I might sa! in its ehoof would add plume to theook# for the magical writings of this redoutale -oston fee+fi+fo+fumer andfunster have the merit of earing with them their own cause and offeringthemselves in their own despite. )n! reader of his first uckramed ook#Help "ourself# will agree with this. *or is it that an! ook of his needs anaffale introduction to a pulic interested in things magical. /henever two orthree kindred conjuring spirits are gathered together the talk# sooner or later#is ound to touch upon this salt! *ew Englander whose foreears lived through

the dark magic that wrought so somrous a spell over old Ipswich Town.

&rom the witch,s room to the airplane. That epitomi0es the genealogical stor!of m! friend# &rank Lane++The autoiograph! he emellished his first ook withto the contrar! notwithstanding. That m! foreears# too# lived in that same oldghostied town and witnessed or took part o, nights in the hag+ridden orgies onancient Heartreak Hill# ma! have something to do with our enduringfriendship. -ut rather do I like to think that it is our common affection for aglamorous art that holds us together as with hooks of steel. I will go so far asto sa!# if !ou will trust the word of one whose lawful and professional occasionit is to la0er the merits of magic on the highwa!s and the !wa!s of theworld# that it is this friendship that has prompted &rank Lane to ask me to actas magister ceremoniorum to this his latest ook. )t least that is the wa! Iapprehend his motive.

)nd so# here is m! friend,s ook. I am not going to pounce upon !ou at thever! outset# after the manner of all guides# literar! or otherwise# andimportune !ou in persuasive words to read this one page or that one# or to addthis one effect or that one to !our assortment of m!steries. I am not going totell !ou aout the treasure !ou ma! 1uarr! in the pages that follow. I am notgoing to launch upon a gratuitous and graceless e2position of the ook,s

THE F/R0T ONE1 (Y FRAN0

is a pocket trick# impromptu# with two usiness cards. It is so simple inoperation# that it is a pit! to deceive people with it# ut efore including it inthis wonderful ook ;I said wonderful< I tested it on magicians and la!men#

and the /I&E# who knows me ackward# and fooling each and ever! one ofthem# here it goes. The effect is that THE 45ECT)T=R HI%4EL& marks eachside of the two cards with the figures# 6# ># 9# and :. Thus he sees each sideand marks them himself# which takes awa! an! idea of faker! that the! ma!have# should the performer himself do the figuring. The cards are then handedto the spectator# and when !ou are read!# he opens them and in the centerthere is found a message and the cards of course ma! e e2amined as the!are ordinar!.

&ig ?

@et T/= usiness cards... and use lank ones if !ou can and then look at &I@.? in the illustration department# which will tell !ou the whole secret. Themessage is written on one of the cards and when holding them for thespectator# casuall!# !our THA%- C=BER4 THE %E44)@E. /hen !ou starthowever# have the message side on the ottom of the underneath card. *owpull the cards apart# show the upper parts# then !our right hand turns over theone in that hand and shows it lank# then this card is placed underneath theother one# and oth turned over end for end# held in right hand# now turn

them end for end again# take the ottom card and place on top# now takethem in right hand# first two fingers on top# and thum underneath# and turnthem slowl! end for end# and as the writing comes into !our view# !our leftthum goes over it# and !our left fingers take the card so that it is held as in&I@. ?.

*ow hold the cards so spectator can write figure one in the lower right handcorner. *ow turn the cards end for end towards !ou and have a > placed onthe card which is now on top. /ith the right hand# turn this card over and havea three placed in the same manner. )fter this is done# simpl! move this card

HAT A EALTH OF (ATER/AL THERE /0

in a deck of cards. &or !ears there have een new card tricks and there alwa!swill e. %a!e !ou,d even like this one. This is a sleight and I never thought anawful lot of it# until @en. @rant and )l -aker# and )rt %unroe# who !ou must

admit# know something aout cards# told me to e sure and include it. It,s atop change and it fools them for one reason# and that is# the cover+up isperfect.

The idea is to have the deck all evened up# and with the THA%- C=A*T# cardsin left hand# count two cards# and lift them with the right hand# thum at rearand >nd and 9rd fingers picking up the cards# with first finger curled on top.4ee &I@. 8 in the illustration department. This illustration curls the card toomuch# ut it emphasi0es it simpl! to show !ou the card must e curled. 'ust alittle# -AT a little. *ow show it as one card ! holding it up.

*ow comes the dirt! work. "ou just showed it ! turning the right hand over tothe right# so the! could see the card. *ow !our right hand comes ack =BERTHE ECK# and the second that it I4 over the deck# !ou drop the under card#-AT *= HE4IT)TI=*# keep on going# and immediatel! !our right thum allowsthe end of card to drop# and the upper end of card is clipped etween the tipsof first and second fingers. This comes naturall! to !ou# if !ou hold the cardsas in &I@. 8.

*ow !ou insert the card in the deck# ! pushing it in# and the position of !ourhand and the card in !our fingers is shown !ou in &I@. 6F. )s soon as !ou putit in# take !our right hand awa!# and with first finger of left hand# continuepushing the card in all the wa!. *ow with left thum and fingers# slowl! turnthe top card over and there she is.

The whole secret of fooling an!one with this move is the cover+up# as the!C)**=T 5=44I-L" see the card drop# ecause !our hand and arm cover thedropping. on,t do it too fast and !ou,ll fool them. I might sa! that Ten Kai#

A 0/T%H FOR A 2E%K

4o man! fellows# oth in this countr! and England# have asked me to devisean undetectale method for the switch of a deck# that I think sometime that I,llput it in a ook# ut not this one. I like it too well. I have used it four !ears

m!self# and the onl! one that knows it eside m!self is that peerless andefficient master of the craft# @eneral Al!sses &ranklin @rant# of 5ittsfield# %ass.

This method that I think I,ll write aout some time is this. In the ack of m!coat# which ! the wa!# is a regular usiness coat# there is a slit at the ottomof the coat. The regular slit that comes in an! suit coat. I don,t like metalgimmicks as the! ulge out too much so here is what I did. Immediatel! onthe left side of coat# ne2t to slit# I made a pocket# with opening at the top#aout twice the length of a deck of cards and a little deeper. The ottom of thispocket came to within an inch or an inch and a half from the ottom of m!

cost# and the end nearest slit was aout two inches in from slit.

=n the right side of coat# ne2t to the slit# I made another pocket with theopening at the -=TT=%# and this pocket is just ig enough to hold a full deckof cards loosel!. )t the opening there is a flap# and a utton hole and a uttonso that I could put the deck in the pocket and then utton the flap over it. Thepocket is sewed in just high enough from the ottom of the coat so that whenthe flap is loose# it will not show under the coat# and the side of the pocket wasperhaps# aout an inch or two inches from the side of the slit.

*ow I had the deck set up for whatever trick I wanted to do# put it in thepocket and uttoned the flap. I had a deck to match that set+up deck. and Idid tricks with it for the o!s. I also knew what card was on T=5 of the set+updeck. *ow when I got read! and the cards were thoroughl! shuffled over aperiod of several tricks# I had the deck shuffled again# and impressed this onthem# that it was trul! shuffled. I ran thru the deck and let them see it wasmi2ed. I saw it was too# and in running thru I noticed where the *ine of Cluswas. ;I am now presuming that the top card of the set+up deck is the *ine ofClus.nd of an inch. Cut

the other one the same length as a ridge si0e card# ut the width of it# !oucut a trifle wider again# sa! the same 6J9>nds of an inch wider. *ow put themin !our pocket and go visit someone. If !ou haven,t an!one to visit# come seeme. )nd when I let !ou use m! deck of cards# !ou don,t care whether it,s aridge si0e card or a regular si0e deck# !ou can add to the deck at an! time#the right piece of celluloid# and !ou have a /IE C)R that !ou can do lots oftricks with.

) deck is shuffled ! spectator. "ou have him cut the deck in half and !ou takeone+half and spread it face up on tale. *ow take the other half and spread itface up in the same wa!# somewhere elow the other half. /hile !ou have

!our ack turned# he takes a card from EITHER 45RE) =AT HE)5# inserts itin the other heap# shuffles that heap up# and hides the other heap. "ou takethe heap he shuffled up and locate the card.

This is a dand! to fool a magician with. )nd !ou do it# of course# with an!one,sdeck. Incidentall!# there are no trick cards used in the tricks in this ook.

La! out the heaps as detailed aove# and while !ou are la!ing out the ottomfan on tale# !ou are mentall! counting the pips on the upper heap. -ut !ouI4C)R EBER" TE* "=A C=%E T=. &or instance# the cards starting at the

right of the heap are# we,ll sa!# an 7# 8# 9# (ueen# ten spot# :# # etc. here,sthe wa! !ou count. 4tart with the 7# and 8 are 6G# ut !ou don,t sa! 6G# !ousa! 4EBE*# and discard the 6# then !ou sa! :# ecause the ne2t card is a threeand !our total was 6# now forget an! face cards and an! ten spots# so ne2t !ouwould sa! 7# ecause : and the ne2t card which is a four# is 7# then the ne2tcard is a five spot# so !ou sa! THREE# as the! oth add to thirteen# ut !oualwa!s discard the ten.

*ow# when !ou run through the pile# !ou will have some numer left like si2 orseven or whatever it is it matters not. If there is a seven left over then theremust e THREE LE&T =BER in the ottom pile. Let them take a card from eitherpile# put it in the other and shuffle up# and hide the first pile.

)ll !ou do is take the pile# ask them which pile the! put the card I*# upper orlower pile# and if the! sa! upper# !ou spread the cards out again# countingthem the same wa! as efore# and !ou )L/)"4 4A-TR)CT the numer !ouhad left in the first place# from the numer that is left at the finish.

4uppose when !ou go through at finish# and there is 8 left over after all thetens are discarded# sutract G from 8 and !ou know he took a deuce. *ow ifthere,s two deuces in the pile# work the ) red card3 and if so# toss it out# if

not# immediatel! pass out the lack deuce# etc.# etc.

If the! said the! put the card in the lower pile# !ou know three was left over inthat heap# and !ou work in the same manner. I,ve had them pu00led for a longtime on this# and I hesitated to include this here# ut here it is# and as thetailor said# suit !ourself.

so I won,t argue with the gu!# ut some one sa!s this is old. )s far as I know#it is %I*E# and even if there is similarit! with something else that produces thesame effect# I still think so much of it# that I include it. It fooled the man who

said the move was familiar to him. That was enough for me. I got the movefrom an old color change that I used to do !ears ago.

The card is selected# and is in center of deck# we,ll sa!. eck is s1uared up andwithout an! pass# or an! move that is perceptile to spectator# the top card isturned over and that,s the a!. This is another one that Ten Kai thought a lotof.

Have the card selected in this wa!. Riffle the deck# with faces toward audience#and have them tell !ou when to stop. /hen the! sa! stop# !ou do so# let them

see the card# and !our right hand hinges up the right side of the upper half#!our fingers of left hand go in etween the two halves# and the tips of !oursecond and third left fingers# push the card out ;see Illus. *o. 69.< Thisillustration# if !ou notice carefull!# shows the corner of the card eing clippedetween the right little finger and third finger tips.

"our right hand now comes awa! from the deck to the right# just enough toring out the card# on a perfectl! straight line# ;see now &I@. 6:< then

immediatel! goes ack to deck# leaves card on top# deck s1uared up# ottomcard shown# ! turning the deck around and !ou,re all done. This should edone ver! fast# and if !ou = it fast# !ou have a nice 1uick move# with nothingsuspicious aout it# to ring a card to the top of the deck from the center.4tud! those illustrations again.

Here,s an eas! one ut another one of m! favorites# it fools them so easil!.)nd !ou,d THI*K the!,d get it. -ut the! don,t.

*=/ !ou,re all read! to make the pass# -AT "=A=*,T %)KE THE 5)44. "our left hand hinges overthe top half# e2actl! as in the pass# !our right handlifts up the ottom half# turns it face up# and now

!our hands are E)CTL" )4 I* &I@ARE 66.E)CTL"# with !our left forefinger pointing to theface card of the packet in right hand# and !ou aresa!ing# as !ou do this# *ow this isn,t that old gagof putting !our card ne2t to the seven of clus ;orwhatever card is on face< ut so !ou,ll e sure# I,llput !our card down here some place. )nd !ourleft thum pushes over the top card of left hand

packet# and pushes it in etween the tips of the little finger and third fingers ofright hand ;the right hand packet is held still as in illustration## andesides making it appear on top# I tell them the name of it also efore turningit over.

The success of this trick depends on !our nonchalance# and the manner that!ou do it. "ou will e tickled to death# after !ou get it down# how eas! !ou,ll
