Contents (updated Oct 2015)

5 Twelve Cards to Pocket: one of the finest tricks because it can be presented so many different ways. Here Buckingham uses a volunteer assistant and two props every magician owns. Very good!
11 Super Do As I Do-in:  the "super" Buckingham version.
13 The Palmist: is a fun making, audience participation routine.
17 Showers of Pips:  is a spectacular idea based on a Southall trick, here perfected by Buckingham.
22 Coins and Cards:  gives you a "one simple sleight" routine you will use because it is so easy to do
