This article should get more attention from magicians. Particularly close-up magicians. Perhaps the readership of Harper's doesn't intersect greatly with the magic community. It should be of specific interest to anybody who attended FISM and actually SAW the Close-up competition. Over three pages of...

Philippe, This is the procedure John Bannon uses to get the three required cards in play for "Strangers Gallery" without showing their faces. It is uncredited in the write-up in "Smoke and Mirrors." Presumably it is his? This was my first encounter with the procedure. Gene Taylor
