 David Solomon
Hocus Poker

David Solomon has created the poker deal to beat all poker deals! Hocus Poker is an ingenious "contest" staged at world famous "Cheater's Convention." In the finals, Chicago Eddie and Detroid Fats are each dealt a hand of aces and eights, the "Dead Man's Hand"! Each player then gets a shot at cheating. Eddie secretly steals two aces from Fats, giving him four aces. Fats then shows his hand to be a straight flush, showing each card front and back! Eddie, not to be outdone, changes his hand into a royal flush to win the competition.


 

 John Bannon
Stranger's Gallery

EFFECT: From a blue-backed deck, the performer removes three face-down cards from three diffrent places. A fourth card is selected. Each of the three inital cards are shown to match the selected card exactly. The performer remarks that the only way the trick would be possible is if the four cards came from from four different decks. Accordingly, the backs of three cards change from blue to black, yellow and white, leaving four cards with four diffrent colored backs! For the climax, it is revealed that none of the four cards could have come from your deck...because it is spread and seen to be RED!

Twilight Angel's

EFFECT #1: You bring out a small angel catcher, which looks like a small mirror. They you display the angels printed on the back of a normal Bicycle playing card. Since angels are made of pure light and the mirror reflects pure light, you can actually combine them to alter space and time! You then place the mirror on the card so the reflection of both angels are clearly seen. As you slowly slide the mirror across the card, a strange "angel zone" opens up next to the reflected angel. Suddenly, the reflected angle is gone! It's not in the mirror or on the card. One of the printed angel's has completely vanished! You re-position the "angel catcher" to display the reflection of the single remaining angel, then slowly slide the mirror to create a second relfected angel. This optical angel visibly slides off the mirror and onto the card and transforms into a second printed angel! You now have two permanent angels on one end of the card and a blank space at the other hand! The card, mirror and deck can all be examined!

EFFECT #2: You display the two halves of a torn playing card. The two angels were obviously meant to be together, a relationship made in heaven, but somehow they were seperated at birth. You hold the two broken angles over the soft warm hand of an angelic person in an attempt to somehow heal the relationship. You then snap the top angel with your finger and the angel visibly vanishes as the pieces land on the spectator's palm. She checks the other piece to discover two angels together!

EFFECT #3: You slide a card under a spectator's hand, smearing one of the angels across the card to one end, where is ends up next to its other angel buddy! Comes complete with special cards, wallet, mirror, rubber-band and illustrated instruction booklet.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Bannon
Twisted Sisters & Jumbo Twisted Sisters

Twisted Sisters is a diabolical effect from the creative mind of John Bannon. This effect is clear and powerful, and the method is ingenious in its simplicity. It will totally blow away your audience! Best of all, it requires no skill or sleight-of-hand to successfully pull it off. Just wait until you go out with the Twisted Sisters!

EFFECT: The performer displays two packets of face-down cards, each packet containing four cards. One packet is red-backed and the other is blue-backed. The packets are tabled, and a spectator is allowed to select either the red or blue packet. Whichever packet he selects is used. There is no magician force!

The spectator is asked to imagine that his packet consists of four face-down queens. Once this is done, he is to think of any one of the four queens - hearts, clubs, spades or diamonds. Again, this is totally free choice! A second spectator is now directed to concentrate on the remaining four-card packet, and like the first spectator, is allowed to think of a different queen.

Now, without touching the cards, the performer claims he has caused the two selections to trade places. The first spectator names his card, the performer spreads his packet, and the queen he merely thought of is reversed face up in the packet. This astounding feat is repeated with the second spectator's queen! And there's more!

The performer points out that if each of the spectator's queens really traveled across, then the backs of the selected queen would also have traveled across. The face-up queen in the red packet is turned over - it has a blue back! Now the face-up queen in the blue packet is turned over - it has a red back! The effect is truly unbelievable. And there is still more!

The performer points out that it is very interesting that the two spectators selected the particular two queens they did.. BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CARDS ARE NOT EVEN QUEENS AT ALL - THEY ARE JOKERS! And you turn them all face up toprove it!

How many moves does this require? Not one! No sleight -of-hand necessary! The method is simple and elegant. The plot is clear and concise. Comes complete with a detailed booklet of crystal-clear instructions and illustrations, all the necessary cards (Bicycle) to perform the effect, and a handsome wallet to store them in.

One small, special gimmich pulls the whole thing off. Comes complete with special gimmick made by the U.S. Playing Card Company.
