Contents (Andrew Pinard,
book):
1 Lipstick Levitation: Selected card placed against the outside
of the filled card box rises over the deck (like a rising card but
rotating up and away from the box).
3 Balloon Penny-tration: Penetration of a penny into an empty,
blown-up balloon.
5 The Shrinking Card: A card is selected from a regular deck which
transforms into a miniature deck. The selected card is replaced
into the (now) miniature deck only to transform to a random card.
7 Strange Change: A card is selected, signed and returned to the
deck. A random card is folded in half longitudinally, reopened and
then displayed to the audience. This card is then visually
transformed into the signed selection retaining the crease.
9 Fail-Safe Bank Night: Bank night routine and method.
11 The Voodoo Queen: A selected card (queen) is tortured by
bending it in the middle. The deck is table spread to reveal three
other creased cards which match the selected card.
13 The Magic Mat: An indifferent card is waved over a close-up mat
only to transform into a selected card which may be thoroughly
examined
