Signed Original 16-page Manuscript featuring 5 amazing and unique effects: Remote Coin and Date Divination: You ask the spectator to place three of his own coins on the table. With your back turned, you instruct the spectator to mix the coins. After he places one coin in his right pocket and one in his left pocket, he holds the remaining coin hidden inside his closed hand. You ask him to concentrate on the random final locations of the coins. You are immediately able to divine the location of each coin. For your finale, you are able to reveal the exact date on the coin held tight inside his hand. All Expenses Paid Trip: Without touching the cards, the magician is able to perform the classic “cards across” effect. Memorease: You offer to give a demonstration in rapid memory. You distribute a deck of cards among several spectators, who examine and shuffle the cards. The pack is reassembled as two people are invited on stage to assist. The cards are quickly divided between the two helpers. You quickly deal through one participant’s random selection or cards, calling them aloud as you deal the cards into the spectator’s hands. Both spectators arrange their cards by separating the suites while you explain that you rapidly memorized all the cards in one half of the deck, and because you know which cards one helper holds, you know the other helper’s cards by a process of elimination. To prove your claim you invite someone to call out any card, and you prove that you immediately know which of your two spectators is holding that card. You now quickly list every other card in that same suit, identifying who holds which card. You offer to repeat this with a card of the opposite color. Someone calls out a card of the opposite color, and you once again quickly list every other cards in that same suit, identifying who holds which card. You offer to repeat this with a card of the opposite color. Someone calls out a card of the opposite color, and you once again quickly list the location of all thirteen cards of that suit. To speed things yup, you explain that you will do this one more time with just one of the remaining suits. Someone selects one of the remaining suits. You then ask each person to remove the cards containing that suit from their stacks and arrange them in numerical order and discard the other remaining cards. To make the final demonstration more difficult, you recall the location of each of the remaining cards backwards at near breakneck speed. Voodoo Coins: You slowly count 8 borrowed coins into a spectator’s hand. The spectator places the coins in his otherwise empty pants pocket and moves across the room, many feet away from you. You draw eight circles representing the coins (on a piece of paper with a pencil, on the ground with a piece of chalk, or on a white-bard with a dry-erase marker). Slowly you erase one of the circles. The spectator is asked to remove the coins and count them. One of the coins has shared the fate of eradicated circle: it exists no more (and has disappeared from the spectator’s pocket forever). Thoughts of Tom Jacobsen: You display a collection of pairs of clean socks in a variety of colors as you ask your spectators if they’ve ever had the baffling experience of finding a single sock in the laundry. Explaining that you have solved the mystery of the lone sock, you offer to demonstrate exactly what is happening. Two spectators join you to inspect the socks and make sure that there are only pairs of socks with no single or extras. Each spectator guards several pairs of socks. “The secret” you explain “is not that you are missing one sock, but that you have an extra sock. A single sock which was never part of a pair and which travels invisibly to make you believe that your are missing a sock”. You display the “odd” sock which is trapped in a clear glass case. You remove the odd sock from the case and put it in one of the spectator’s collection of socks. Inexplicably, the odd sock invisibly travels from one group of socks to the othe.
