In this charming packet trick, four frog-imprinted cards hop over one at a time, then change into princes after the spectator blows a kiss. Just wait for the final surprise!

3. Troubleshooter
Quick, someone call “deck” support! Your cards have crashed, leaving nothing but backs on both sides. Here’s a fun, all-backs routine with a surprising twist.

4. Lost & Found
A signed card vanishes from inside a clear plastic wallet, then makes an impossible flight back inside. It uses an extremely clever method that will make you say, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”

5. Color Blind
Demonstrate your expert card handling in this simple, yet powerful Ace-cutting demonstration, which leads into a strong transposition.

6. Palm Reader
The four Aces make a startling revelation, then change while in the spectator’s hand.

7. Club Sandwich
This is a quick and clever sandwich routine where two selected cards magically change places! Tune in and see for yourself how well it plays.

After expertly cutting to the four Aces in a topsy-turvy shuffled deck, you visibly make the entire deck change color!

VOLUME TWO

1. Party Animal
Your spectator is the guest of honor at an exclusive party the cards are throwing. Show your audience to a fun time in this thoroughly entertaining in-the-hands Triumph routine.

2. Clairvoyance
Completely floor your audience with this elegant (and quite eerie) revelation of a thought-of card. Just like real mind reading.

3. Intuition
In this small-packet Hofsinzer-inspired miracle, the four Queens use their women’s intuition to reveal a spectator’s card.

4. Out of the Blue
Absolutely stunning! The four Aces and four Queens not only change places, but change back designs as well. “It is one of the strongest small packet transpositions I have ever seen,” says Gordon Bean.

5. Snowball Aces
In this mesmerizing routine, the ink simply melts away from both sides of the deck, then magically returns. It’s so visual and deceptive, you’ll swear it uses rough and smooth cards. (It doesn’t).

6. Tailspin
Using a four-of-a-kind of the spectator’s choosing, you cause each of the cards to turn face-down, then transform…twice!

7. Synergy
The cards work as a team in this flashy four-card revelation, where each card helps find the next.

8. Bizarre Prequel
Just discovered…the two-phase prequel to Paul Harris’ Bizarre Twist, featuring a clean and clever approach to the Point of Departure plot.

9. Jazz Fusion
A modern twist to the classic Jazz Aces plot. Here, the four Jacks vanish into a black hole, leaving behind a startling surprise.

10. Gemini Prediction
This is a true showstopper, featuring an impossible prediction of four randomly-selected cards…and an astonishing finale that no one could have predicted!
