Further Thought On Cards

Author/Originator: J. Stewart Smith

J. Stewart Smith's follow-up to his highly acclaimed first book, "One More Thought on Cards." As with his first volume, all of the material has been streamlined so the effects are clean cut and easily followed by the spectators. Smith's routining is clever, naturally convincing and well thought out. No double lifts are employed, yet a subterfuge is used in several of them which serves the same purpose and, of course, affords a variety of climaxes that are most effective. The titles more or less speak for themselves: An Unexpected Coincidence, A Spectator's Feat, Follow the Black Queen, A Four Card Interchange, The Queens in Unseen Motion, The Same Card, Some Thoughts on the Ambitious Card (two versions), and The Inseparable Sevens (3 versions). You don't have to be an advanced card man to use these tricks; the couple of sleights employed are quite simple. Re-typeset and reformatted, 23 pages.
