- Malini Type Button Off Vest. The real secret on this close-up miracle. Button shown several inches away from vest and seen to be missing from vest. Vest not bunched up in hand and no patches used. The real dope.
- Brain Wave Trick using an ordinary deck. Any card named is found reversed in the deck. What? Yes you can!

- Comedy Milking A Balloon. Balloon handed out and inflated. Held inverted over pail and milked, producing several glasses of real milk.
- A borrowed ring passes into any sealed box held by a spectator. You can feature this in your show, it is that good.
- Any Card Called For Rises. Card is seen to rise from deck. A special pack does the trick. You can fake a deck easily in a half hour. A one man stunt.

- Grant's Card Force. A new easy way to force cards for various card tricks that require a clean-cut force.
- What Time Is It? Performer reaches in his watch pocket and removes a slip of paper on which is written the correct time. Great publicity trick.
- Orange Derby. Any two girls take turns removing an equal number of oranges from a basket. Still one ends up with five and the other has two. The performer directs the girls from a distance. Can be worked as a prediction, if you like.
- Grand Opening. An unusual production with a laugh, then the performer loses his shoes. This opening is worth $50 to any working magician.
- Striking A Match On Air. Any spectator hands you a SAFETY match and you strike it in mid- air. It lights! A corker originated by Dick Brooks.
"The tricks are most varied in effect and very good. Will be found useful by almost every magician." (John Mulholland)
