Stephen Minch and Daryl – For Your Entertainment Pleasure

Contents:

1 Forward: by Jon Racherbaumer
5 Prefatory Harangue: In Praise of the Lowly Flourish – An introductory essay
11 Peter Rabbit Hits the Big Time: Daryl’s sponge rabbit routine, using the cheap Adams set. This is a classic for a reason.
18 The High-priced Spread: an improptu packet-trick, greatly enhanced by a one-handed(!) Ascanio Spread. Yes, it can be done.
24 Rising Crime: standard plot (The Four Robbers), well thought out. Not difficult, and it plays much better than it reads.
33 Future Acethetics: three selections locate three Aces, which match a previous prediction. (cf European Aces in Garcia’s Super Subtle Card Miracles.) Impromptu, and worth study if only for the oh-so-clever force used.
42 Sleightly Touched: spectator shuffled deck, you produce two cards that identify (suit and value) of a card previously reversed in the deck. That sounds weak, but the routine is strong.
48 Conditional 2nd Climax (for Sleightly Touched): produces the card that _would_ have been predicted had the two locators appeared in the opposite order.
51 Silver Anniversary: A Mammonistic Respite (next two coin tricks)
51 Twogether Again: coin in each hand, one travels invisibly to join the other (seated)
55 The Coinditional Coin Game: copper-silver transpo, must be seated
62 The Out-of-Body Experience: sandwich effect: signed selection appears between two isolated cards
69 The Snowshoe Sandwich: this time the selection visibly shoots out of the deck after a flashy one-hand cut, to be caught between the sandwich cards. Spectacular!
80 The Transubstantiated Travelers: Aces in classic T-formation, three of them change to spector’s selections, while the Aces travel invisibly to join the leader (a la Open Travelers). Wow!
