Contents (from Lewis Jones website, numbers are not page numbers):
1 Study For Two Hands: Spectators shuffle and spell-deal their
names with cards in their own hands, yet produce unbeatable
Blackjack and Poker hands.
2 Watch This Space: A spectator causes her freely chosen card to
turn over in the deck, move to a chosen location, turn invisible,
then re- appear magically in the middle of the table.
3 The Bond: Two partners shuffle, then spell-deal their own names:
this produces matching cards, which tell them how long they have
been together.
4 The Rainbow Test: Card trick without cards. Anyone mentally
chooses a secret suit and value and puts them together to create a
card. You read his mind.
5 The Infinity Count: Reach any target card by spell-dealing a
stranger’s name and personal details.
6 Call Security: One spectator hacks into another spectator’s bank
account.
7 Lexicon: Anyone chooses three cards, re-arranges them in any
order to form a page number, and selects a word. You divine it
without any questions.
8 Poetic License: Spectators select secret words, then merely
think of any words that rhyme with them. You read their minds
without any questions.
9 The Invisible Deck: Anyone chooses an invisible card from an
invisible deck. The card suddenly appears visible.
