Hi guys. I love Kaufman's Underground Man. I love the physical dimensions of the book. I love the blue dust jacket. I love the illustrations. I love the writing. I love the material. I would love to be able to sit at a table with Lou Gallo and watch him work. For those who new him or saw his magic, ...

Tony, Giobbi is 100% correct.

I absolutely agree.

No, the ad is in German. I mean, how much is it listed for on eBay?

The price is wrong as listed. How much is it supposed to be?

My thoughts exactly. Harry Lorayne's thoughts on this revelation in Quinella make it the best description I've encountered.

I don't blame her, considering the discouragment she received here.

Email sent, Bob, thank you in advance.

Okay. The routine can be done as written provided the spectator calls for the particular ace as described by Maxwell. However, in handling the third ace things get weird. Maxwell describes how to find it if Hearts is called for, then halfway through, he says, " okay let's assume diamonds is sel...

Bruce Cervon. Ibidem. Confusion Incomplete.

When I'm back in town I will go through it again. Maybe I'm missing something. I will post back here with specifics and maybe I can get it cleared up.

Its been a while, but I don't think there is riffle shuffle work, no. Its an in the hands routine mostly.

One of my favourites has always been Martin Nash's Telstar Aces. Its a one handed Charlier type production.
The Aces are plucked out one at a tim face up by the thumb of the same hand.

Hi guys, Im a long time ace addict and as such, I've tried many times to learn this effect as described. It doesn't seem to work the way it is written. Perhaps I am mistaken. I was mistaken once before with Mike Close's Reverse Logic. Mr. Close corrected me. His instructions were fine. So I'm not in...

Way to go, Harry! Im very pleased for you. Congratulations.

Martin Nash's Telstar Aces from Any Second Now is also a beautiful thing.

This is tough, four ace productions are my my favourite. Mike Skinners from Card Stars USA is a gem. It uses Drauns tabled breakless undercut from Kaufmans book. I think Ortiz' Any Ace Spell Variation from Lorayne's Afterthoughts is a treasure. My pet sequence for twenty years has been Wakeman's A D...

Hello, im looking for a copy of Dr. Ken Krenzel's Close-Up Impact. Thanks

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. Thankyou verymuch for sharing it.

Richard, ive heard muuch about Howies top palm, i was a shy 16 year old when i met him in 1990, i wish i could go back in time.
Ive studied Carneys description of Vernons Top Palm. Im i correct in assuming that Howies and Larrys palms are directly influenced by Vernons?
Respectfully, Rodney

My favourite item from this book is LJ's brilliant Bevel Palm.

I'm currently waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail. I've read many references to this book and I can hardly wait to study it. I'm glad I stumbled upon this discussion.
Rod

Just wondering if anyone knows if Any Ace Called For is also described incorrectly in this book?

Rod

Hi Dave, looking forward to the DVD. (Although I really wish it was a book) anyway to answer your question, its not a Goodwin trick but it is a great move- its Bill Goodwins Two Ton Transpo from Swains Miracles with Cards. Awesome!

Rodney

In Paramiracles" Ted Lesley sought the expertise of Toronto's Tom Ransom for this very same information.

I met Frank at NYCAN'90 very briefly I'm ashamed to say that at te age of 14, I didn't pay much attention to this gentleman whose name I later read mentioned in one of Martin Nash's spiral bound books- perhaps Any Second Now..
Can someone tell me alittle about this fellow canadian?

my favourite four ace revelation while seated is Randy Wakeman's A Dime A Dozen.
Some others i love are Telstar Aces- Nash
Gymnastic Aces- Le Paul
Halo Again- Lorayne
