Miracle Methods - Card Tricks and Sleights By Jean Hugard

Another installment in Hugard and Braue's excellent Miracle Methods (of Card Magic) series. This volume, No. 4, features over 20 card tricks along with 11 utility sleights. Material includes a fortune telling card trick (The Card of Destiny) with a presentation that really "sells" it, a card to sealed envelope (Opened by the Censor), an easy-to-perform reverse of two selected cards complete with an entertaining presentation (A Reverse and Recovery) - also an easy way to reverse a single selected card, Incredo Thought - a self-working effect where the spectator finds his own "thought of" card, the discovery of five thought of cards (Thought for Five) - another self-working mental card miracle, a quick and easy transposition of your card with the spectator's (Quick Change), Safe Bet - a card vanish from a packet that reappears folded in your mouth (or elsewhere) - note the subtle method of finding a thought of card in a packet can also be used for other effects, several versions of cards to pocket, and more. Sleights include two very convincing false cuts, changes, a top change - double lift, The Open Cull, the Lockgrip Shuffle, Lazy Man's Deal, and more. 46 pages, completely re-typeset with larger illustrations and text that's far easier to read than the original printed booklet.
