Almost all the effects use playing cards.

• No chance. A guessing game, using six cards to decide who will pay for the next round, (Free drinks for you - guaranteed).
• Birthday bonanza. Spectators freely contribute numbers, and find they have predicted someone’s year of birth.
• Avalanche. Someone merely thinks of a card, and you find it in a deck of cards that have blank backs and faces.
• Charlie the cheat. Two spectators join you in a poker game in which they make all the decisions. But guess who wins.
• One good card deserves another. Two spectators each think of a card. One thought-of card finds the other.
• Cut and bury. You divine a spectator’s thought-of card, and he divines yours.
• Spots. Anyone chooses a card value, and mentally adds any colour and suit. A card of that same suit and value immediately appears in an unexpected place.
• Pals. Is you bosom pal really just right for you? The cards will tell.
• Seeing red. How to separate out the red cards without seeing their faces.
• Stacked in favour. Memorising the Stebbins stack.
• Team work. The spectators do a card trick for you.
• A creditable prediction. Jack London’s Almost Real Prediction becomes real.
