3 Forward
6 Four of a Kind: Four of a kind, named by spectator, lost into
deck, which is mixed face up and face down. The deck is restored,
except for the four facing the other way.
11 Red & Black Fantasy: Spectator takes a bunch of cards and
separates them into red and black. Magician figures out how many
are in each pocket.
17 Four More: Magician quickly finds four of a kind that have been
lost in the deck.
20 Leap Frog: A thought of card leaps from the deck to a small fan
of cards, reversed.
27 Magician vs. Gambler: Nice patter. Magician cuts four of a
kind--spectator thinks they are kings, they are actually 4s. The
kings are in the magician's pockets.
31 Color Quickie: Spectator blindly picks card from blue-backed
deck that matches unknown red card. Magician does the same thing,
but the red card is now a different card.
34 Revers-All: Deck is cut into three portions, one face up. Cards
all face one way, except for two selected cards.
39 The Fantastic Card Square: First, magician makes a magic square
with matching card suits and values, then provides numbers to make
magic square with sums up to selected number.
49 Ten Card Puzzler: Puzzle, not trick, in turning over cards.
