Still More Exclusive Tricks
by Sam Berland
Continuing with even more pro-quality close-up and platform effects, here's a worthy second volume of Berland's exclusive magic!
Long out of print, this collection includes several miracles that Berland sold separately through magic dealers the world over.
Partial contents:
- A Blockbuster Opening - A very colorful and surprising "Opening Trick" that can be performed under any conditions.
- Routine for the Coin Through Borrowed Handkerchief - A handkerchief is apparently cut and restored. Also included is a variation of the trick in which a leaking fountain pen adds a hilarious comedy situation.
- Marked Card in Purse - An amazing close-up effect, being performed by many prominent magicians.
- Jumbo Stabbed Card - The most practical method yet devised for this very effective trick. Of course, ordinary size cards will work equally well.
- Magnetic Cup and Ball - Make your own Chop Cup for this popular effect.
- Impromptu Vanish of a Shot of Whiskey - And no, you don't just drink it!
- Appearing Glass of Whiskey in Hat - With a novelty routine.
- The Bill in Lemon Trick - A very "direct" method that makes this trick really sensational.
- Cutting A Borrowed Bill in Half - A vest pocket version of "cutting a woman in half" which is very effective, including the separation of the halves. Devious method!
- Improved Torn and Restored Signed Card - A free selection of a card, signed by a spectator and torn into pieces, is restored.
- Haunted Cigarette Pack - A novelty effect in which a silk and cigarettes transpose themselves.
- Thimble Jumbo - A manipulative novelty that can be done anywhere.
- Ultra Prediction - An unbelievable effect, very convincing. Just add showmanship.
- Malini Outdone - A simplified version of a trick made famous by Malini.
Eighty-two (82) illustrations and crystal clear descriptions cover every move.
