under a spectator’s wristwatch.
17 A.W.A.C.A.A.N.: Asi Wind’s Any Card at Any Number.

57 A Coin Trick: Predicting the locations of two freely selected
cards.
63 Double Exposure: A Triumph effect with a borrowed phone (with
additional handlings and feature details).
73 Catch 23: A Chair Test that doesn’t use chairs, combined with a
Bank Night, where the contents of the envelopes are related to the
people onstage.
81 The Trick That Never Ends: A spectator cuts to any card he
names.
87 Selected, Torn, Marked, Stabbed, Crumpled, Burnt, Restored,
& Transported Page: A spectator chooses one of several books.
A chosen page is torn out of the book, it gets burned, and it
reappears in the book, burnt edges and all.
97 Make No Mistake: A visual color change that corrects two
(intentional) mistakes.
103 Crossing Over: A spectator removes a group of cards from
different parts of the deck behind the spectator’s back. That card
vanishes and reappears reversed in the middle of the pack.
109 Reverse Engineer: A spectator blindly reverses a card in the
deck, and that card happens to be the card he named.
113 Supervision: Divining two cards that have been removed from
different parts of the deck beyond the spectator's back.
121 Folded Under Pressure: A deceptive way to secretly fold a card
into fourths.
125 Sloppy Seconds Force: A useful nonchalant force.
129 Not-So-Straight Triumph: Two Triumph effects back to back.
137 S.C.A.A.N.: Shuffled Card at Any Number.
143 Lucky 13: A new treatment of a classic plot that has been
attributed to Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser "suit selection."
149 Echo: A sympathetic effect with two decks and a surprise
kicker.
