Cameron Francis – Packet Mania (1-3)

Packet Mania Vol.1

B-O-X-!:A truly offbeat four King assembly!

TROUBLEMAKERS:Xs appear on the backs of four Jokers, then two of them jump to the faces of two other Jokers!

NO LONGER:Four double blank cards are shown. A mentally selected King appears on one of them. Then it is seen to be printed on all the cards. One is placed aside and the magician claims that the other three are no longer Kings. He proves it by turning the cards over. On their faces are printed NO LONGER KINGS! Totally examinable.

MIXED PERCEPTION:A card is selected from a packet of cards. The cards are mixed face up and face down. A click and they are all face down save the selection. The selection is then seen to have an odd colored back. As if that weren’t enough, the faces of the other cards are now blank! Almost completely self working!

PRINTING ACES:Previously unpublished. The word ACE appears on four blank faced cards. Then the magician turns them into four real Aces!

Packet Mania Vol.2

FRYER: One selection and four Aces make for a unique assembly effect with a killer kicker ending!

WHAT THE BLANK, TOO: An examinable Wild Card routine with four blank cards and four sections. Three of the blanks print copies of three selections before a huge twist at the end!

SKETCHERS: A three phase stunner! Three “stickmen artists” drawn on blank cards, sketch a selection on another blank card. The drawing then switches places with the selection. Finally, the stickmen all turn into mates of the selection!

DUPED: Based on Darwin Ortiz’s “Jumping Gemini”, this is of Cameron’s favorite strolling packet effects! Can be done completely in the hands and instantly resets!

THE REGENERATORS: Previously unreleased. A corner of a card is selected from seven others. Let’s say it’s the Seven of Diamonds. A packet of Jokers is introduced. One of the Jokers turns into a Seven of Diamonds with its corner missing! The two pieces of card are inserted between the other Jokers and run through the packet. The Seven is now fully restored and can be examined!
