Comments (from Ryan
Matney): Are you jonesing for some new card magic? ‘Card Jones’
contains 20 new effects with cards that are high on subtlety and
low on skill. Also included, as a bonus 21st trick, is a
description of the marketed effect ‘The Demolished Deck.’ This
effect was a limited release made available to only a few and
highly praised by many customers. Now you can read the full
details on how to make this reputation making routine. Many of the
effects in ‘Card Jones’ are impromptu. All regular cards, No
gaffs.
Contents (numbers are not page numbers):
1 There’s No Success Like Failure: A routine for the classic
stabbed card plot known as the "Magic Thrust." Here, a full
routine of several effects in sequence is presented.
2 The Whitechapel Solution: A bizarre packet trick that allows
your spectator to become the detective and discover the identity
of Jack the Ripper! First published in Karl Fulves’s ‘Latter Day
Secrets.’

tossed into the deck, this time with a kicker.

card production, also, an impromptu stop trick.
