Contents:

3 Forward.

6 Four of a Kind. Four of a kind, named by spectator, lost into deck, which is mixed face up and face down. The deck is restored, except for the four facing the other way.

11 Red & Black Fantasy. Spectator takes a bunch of cards and separates them into red and black. Magician figures out how many are in each pocket.

17 Four More. Magician quickly finds four of a kind that have been lost in the deck.

20 Leap Frog. A thought of card leaps from the deck to a small fan of cards, reversed.

27 Magician vs. Gambler. Nice patter. Magician cuts four of a kind--spectator thinks they are kings, they are actually 4s. The kings are in the magician's pockets.

31 Color Quickie. Spectator blindly picks card from blue-backed deck that matches unknown red card. Magician does the same thing, but the red card is now a different card.

34 Revers-All. Deck is cut into three portions, one face up. Cards all face one way, except for two selected cards.

39 The Fantastic Card Square. First, magician makes a magic square with matching card suits and values, then provides numbers to make magic square with sums up to selected number.

49 Ten Card Puzzler. Puzzle, not trick, in turning over cards.
