Forward by Steve Beam
Chapter 1
The Genuine Acrobatic Cards - After a spectator's signed card is lost in the deck, the performer fails to locate it in the usual sophisticated manner. Instead, he offers to perform a stunt with two other cards and the assistance of the spectator. Both cards are folded into quarters - one by the magician and the other by the spectator. After verifying the identity of each card, the spectator's folded card is inserted into the folds of the magician's card, which is used to launch it into the air. Upon unfolding the card, it is seen to have transformed into the previously signed selection.
Let me Dust Off a Spot for You to Sit Your Ace - After unsuccessful attempts at finding a spectator's card, the magician shows that the trio of wrong cards has changed into the selection. As the cards revert back to their original identities, the selection appears on the magician's forehead.
Bankshot - A moveless means of secretly propelling a palmed card to the table for a number of subversive purposes.
Bankshot Transposition - Signed Card placed in deck changes places with tabled card.
Low Maintenance Transposition - Two cards transpose positions four times on the table. On their last transposition, the cards are face up.
Uniwild - The Joker assumes the identity of other cards. At the end, the Joker turns blank.
Queen's Sore Ear - Four face-up cards magically assemble beneath a jumbo card.
Chapter 2
Drawing A Blank - After a spectator names a thought-of card, the magician produces a deck of cards that are blank on both sides. After one is selected and signed, a short 'Ambitious Card' routine is performed. At the conclusion, the signed card is turned over to reveal that the earlier named card is now printed on its face.
Back to The West by Pete Ottaviano - The Magician demonstrates his technique of cutting four of a kind and produces four cards that are the same in both value and suit. One at a time, three of the backs of the four cards are changed to different colors and designs. To conclude, the backs of the deck change.
Problem Child - One of four Aces changes to a selected card that was previously lost in the deck. It then changes back to its original self amongst the Aces.
Chapter 3
Andrelius Change - Card at face of deck, visibly changes to selected card.
White Knuckled Reversal by Gordon Boyd - A clever reversal of a selected card.
The B.R.R. by Steve Saunders - A bold and simple method of secretly peeking a selected card.
The Illusive Snapping Pasteboard - Visual card appearance.
Suspended Change - Card balancing effect.
