Farmyard Frolics by Edwin Hooper - Instructions needed

Postby Richard Tremblay » April 4th, 2024, 8:06 am

Hello,
I am taking a chance here...

I got the trick Farmyard Frolics by Edwin Hooper at a fleamarket yesterday. Sadly, no instructions were included. I am not even sure that I have all the cards.

I was wondering if someone would be so kind to share the instructions with me?

Thank you beforehand.

Richard, if you don't mind spending a bit, and getting some more magic to boot, I'm pretty sure it's in Mr. Hooper's book A Host of Surprises. Hocus Pocus currently has a single copy.

Please note the caveat 'pretty sure'.

Edit: if you want to see what should come with this, ebay has a listing with pictures.
Effect and method are inextricably linked.

Thank you both for your input. I still hope that someone could share the instructions with me but you provided some very valuable information.
