Comments [Stewart Tame]: These notes come with two sheets
of
paper with black and white pictures of playing cards on them that
are
used in the "...Just an Old Premonition." effect. Also included
with
the notes is a two page loose insert featuring a catalog of
effects and
books available from Daryl.
Contents:
1 Magician Fooler: Card freely selected and returned to the deck
while
the magician isn't looking, magician looks through the cards and
finds
the selection "[w]ithout any jogs, breaks, crimps, key cards or
'controls' of any kind ..."
2 A Few More Ideas: Some variations on the previous effect to
disguise
the method better.
2 Half and Half: Two business card size cards are displayed, ten
of
clubs and five of diamonds, each folded in half lengthwise,
unfolded to
show that half of each have exchanged places, everything can be
given
away, specially printed cards available from Daryl.
4 Paddle Routine: An envelope with a red sticker on it is opened
and a
plastic silvery paddle is dumped out, magician shows both sides,
places
it in fist, takes a "pinch of red" from the sticker and places it
in
fist, opens to show red paddle and shows both sides, slides second
silvery paddle out of envelope, shows how the "switch" of one
paddle
for the other works, silver and red paddles change places, etc.,
magician rubs silver paddle on one side of red causing one side to
turn
silver,
magician turns envelope over and shows blue sticker, rubs silver
paddle
against it turning one side blue, both paddles now silver on one
side
and colored on the other, can be examined.
6 Triple Change Coin Flight: Two half dollars shown, one placed in
each
hand, clink is heard from one hand, other hand shown empty,
remaining
hand opened to show two English pennies, one placed in each hand,
clink
heard, hand opened to show two Chinese coins, can be examined.
9 Audio Transposition: Two baby toys are shown, one squeaks and
one
rattles, a magical pass is made and now the one that formerly
squeaked
rattles and vice versa, can be examined.
11 Lots-O-Fun Rope Cut: Magician slides bracelet onto center of
rope,
spectator holds ends of rope, magician cuts center and removes
bracelet, ties cut ends together, trims knot, slides knot off rope
revealing that it is restored.
12 "...Just an Old Premonition": Magician asks spectator to think
of a
card, with minimal "fishing" (just finding out whether the card
was odd
or even and red or black) magician hands spectator piece of paper
with
black and white photocopy of fifty-one cards, spectator's card is
not
among them.
13 Fish Schtick: Magician shows backs of business cards have
labels
with pictures of fish on some and bowls on others, taking two
cards and
inserting them face to face in a slot cut into a wooden dowel
magician
twirls the rod showing how retention of vision seems to show fish
in
bowl, magician stops twirling and now one card has no sticker and
the
other has a sticker with the fish in the bowl.
