Introduction

PART I: MENTAL MAGIC & PLATFORM CONJURING

Making The Starting Line-up
A discussion of adding material to your platform act

Out Of This Platform

A hilarious platform presentation for the classic Out Of This World
It packs small and plays hilarious.

Successful Failure

A discussion of what makes “failure gags” succeed or fail

Halitosis Osmosis
a.k.a. "Pimp My Dai Vernon Routine"

Voicemail message to leave for a mentalist friend

PART II: BITS O’ BUSINESS & THE BUSINESS O’ BITS

Flying Shoes
A small touch for Slydini’s Paper Balls Over The Head ... your shoe vanishes, reappears and the paper ball is inside it.
This is the ENDING for Slydini's routine that you have always been looking for.

Failure Deck
Make the most of your screw-ups and get bigger laughs

PART III: CLOSE-UP MAGIC FOR STROLLING & THE TABLE

Prudish Nudist
An intelligent handing for the Nudist deck.
(I refuse to call it Mental Photography on general principle.)

Calvinism Predicted
The Dixon drop used for a mentalism effect. The deck is randomly and cleanly cut into three piles. The performer knows the face card of each pile.

Fingertip Card to Card Box
A card is signed. You pick up the card box with your empty right hand at your fingertips. Turn the box over and the signed card falls out.

Dark Room
A rarity. Colorful, larger than life production value for a card trick that packs smaller than a golf ball

Cover Your Bottom
A theatrically sound bottom deal routine

Five Hands Plus One
I risk worldwide scoffing by daring to change Nate Leipzig's classic "Five Hands" by turning it into an effortless double duke

PART IV: FROM EVERYTHING IS FUNNIER WITH MONKEYS ...

Ships In The Night
Four signed aces and four pocketed jokers change places
