Volume One - Cabaret Mindreading Contains: ¡§Ace Duet¡¨ - A deck is freely shuffled a number of times by a spectator yet the Aces are found - all without the performer even touching the deck! ¡§The Spectator as Mindreader¡¨ A baffling effect that finds the spectator locating the card the performer merely thought of. ¡§The Working Performer¡¦s Card Stab¡¨ A card is signed on its back and shuffled into the pack. The cards are scattered face up as the performer thrusts a dagger through one which is found to be the one previously selected and signed. ¡§Tossed-Out Deck¡¨ Wonderful touches on David Hoy¡¦s mentalism classic. Five spectators merely peek at a card yet the performer flawlessly names them all.ƒn¡§Black Magic III¡¨ A great Bank Night effect as a spectator successfully finds a drawing placed into an envelope and mixed with three others. Unfortunately, she manages to miss out on the currency contained in the others! ¡§Booktest¡¨ The performer divines a word freely selected from an ordinary paperback book. Even more amazingly, the performer then correctly identifies a word the spectator draws out of thin air.ƒn¡§Pro-monition¡¨ A spectator is asked to think of a card, which is found to be the only one missing from the deck. The performer then has a spectator remove the selected card from his pocket. ¡§Center Tear¡¨ Great work on one of Mentalism's most powerful tools. Mastery of this technique will give you the ability to read minds any time, any place. ¡§Teleportation¡¨ A page is selected from a book by one spectator while an empty envelope is given to another. On the performer¡¦s command, a piece of the selected page vanishes and is found in the envelope. When compared, the piece fits exactly! ¡§Decisions! Decisions!¡¨ A powerful version of the classic ¡§Stop!¡¨ trick. The performer selects a card and places it into an envelope. Cards are then dealt fairly from another deck until a spectator calls ¡¥stop.¡¦ Though it¡¦s a completely fair choice, the designated card is found to match the one in the envelope. ¡§Super Force¡¨ Through the performer¡¦s apparent mental powers, one spectator locates another spectator¡¦s chosen card under impossible conditions. ¡§Bending Wine Glass¡¨ Forget spoons! The performer causes a wine glass to visibly bend at the stem though he is nowhere near it. What¡¦s more, he also causes two other glasses to bend while spectators are holding them!

Volume Two - Cabaret Magic Contains: ¡§Six Card Repeat¡¨ An ultra-easy version of this magical classic with a surprise ending guaranteed to fool even those in the know! ¡§Borrowed Bill in Borrowed Cigarette¡¨ One half of a borrowed bill is discovered in a truly impossible place ¡V inside a cigarette that was also borrowed! ¡§Comedy Rope Trick¡¨ The Professor¡¦s Nightmare turned on its head! A length of rope is clearly cut into three equal pieces yet the pieces are shown to be three different lengths. They become equal yet again and one piece is thrown into the audience. The other two are tied together and then instantly restored into a single length ¡V which may be examined! ¡§Comedy Mindreading¡¨ Three playing cards are selected and, after several vain but amusing attempts to find them, the performer finally locates each in increasingly amazing and impossible ways. ¡§The Fastest Card Trick in the World¡¨ Don¡¦t blink as a signed playing card and a borrowed credit card make an impossible journey. ¡§Coin Through Sleeves¡¨ A most-magical version of the classic Winged Silver as a coin mysteriously travels from one hand, up the performer¡¦s sleeve, across his shoulders and into a glass held in the other hand. As a finale, the performer explains the process¡Xusing milk! ¡§Bill in Lightbulb¡¨ A borrowed bill is torn in half. One half is vanished and travels into the most unlikely of places¡Xthe center of an ordinary light bulb that was burning brightly just moments before! ¡§Bill in Lemon¡¨ If you think you know this one, you haven¡¦t seen the Lesley version. Again, one half of a borrowed bill vanishes from an envelope held by a spectator and is found inside a lemon that was in plain sight throughout.

Volume Ten: EASY INDICATOR: We believe that there is no faster or more magical four-card cull than this. It's an any (shuffled) deck startler! INSTANT FACE-UP CATCH (Steve Naidich; Harry Lorayne): You'll use this card revelation immediately. When Harry Lorayne teaches, you learn! FOURSOME: We watched Harry do this one for a group of twelve laymen. We watched twelve jaws drop in disbelief.. OUT OF MY CONTROL: How can you find a selected card that's really lost? Let your spectator do it for you! Learn this, and learn a couple of great sleights at the same time. SIX CARD ROYAL: This is one of the wonderful effects out of Doug Edwards Packs a Wallop. The combination of four card repeat, lost card location, and magical Royal Flush appearance will probably elicit cheers from your spectators. MY SECOND KEEPER (John Quine) No matter now much the deck is (really) shuffled, the vital card is always, always, where you want it to be: always under your control. ONE-EYED JACK SANDWICH: Harry says he doesn't know whether he wants to accept the credit or the blame for starting the sandwich craze with this effect. This is still the best of them all. An almost perfect card effect. TWO CARD TRICK: The late Bro. John Hamman said that Harry did the best handling of this lovely little gem, one of John's own favorites. And Harry raves about John's intriguing concept. What a marvelous piece of card magic it is! It originally saw the light in an early issue of Apocalypse. COLOR CHANGING DECK #2: Sit back, relax, just watch: and be entertained. Harry doesn't teach this one on camera, but he does give a couple of printed hints about the modus operandi. HARRY'S MEMORY LECTURE and DEMONSTRATION: A professional taping of one of Harry's live lectures entertaining and educational! (Details at right.)

Volume Eight: DEAL AND DUCK: With minds like Bill Simon and Harry Lorayne, there's no way you can go wrong. Here¡¦s a blockbuster concept that requires no sleight of hand at all. MANIPULATIVE ACES: Do you want people to talk about your fantastic, incredible, card handling? You do? Just learn this. TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER: This was one of Harry's favorites out of Close-Up Card Magic, way back in 1962. It still is. See it performed by, and learn it from, the master. TAG ALONG ACES (Richard Vollmer): This is so strong! The camera's eye widened at the end when the three aces materialized. THE AMBITIOUS CARD ROUTINE: Put any deck of cards in Harry's hands and this is the first routine he¡¦ll do for laymen. You can¡¦t possibly do stronger card magic than this. MATHEMATICAL AFFINITY: Learn how you can hide a mathematical principle and have a blockbuster effect on your hands. REVERSE FARO ENDING: Multiply utilitarian by one hundred! You'll never again be at a loss as to how to end a selected-card trick or how to magically find the last ace in a four-ace routine. SUPER LOCATION: You'll fool all your magician friends with this one. (Just as you will with all the other effects in this series.) It sure fooled the roomful of magicians during the taping. COLOR-CHANGING DECK: There have been many color-changing deck routines. We challenge anyone to find a better one than Harry's. VANISHING DECK: Wow! What a way to end your card session just make the deck disappear. No gimmicks.

Volume Nine: INTER-DIMENSION (Eddy Taytelbaum): An anywhere, any time, little gem of card magic. Look at Harry's performance only: you'll be badly fooled. Then learn this easy-to-do little miracle. TWO GAMBLERS & A MAGICIAN (Randy Wakeman): Harry takes the magician versus gambler theme to new levels, new plateaus, new dimensions. A killer routine. SNAP!: Here's the rubber-band effect that started the whole rubber band trick craze. The linking, the penetrating, etc., all came about after Harry's Snap! It's been ripped off, imitated, variationed, from here to summer and back again. But nothing compares to the original. See it done right, learn it right. LORAYCES (Tim Wenk; Harry Lorayne): You'll locate the four aces as nobody has ever located them before: with any deck. All of Harry's incredible routines are done with a regular deck. WATCH ME WORK (Randy Wakeman: Harry Lorayne): A gambling demonstration that rings true. Your audience will believe and enjoy, and marvel at, every exciting moment of it. SANDWICHANGE: Typical Lorayne. The wrong card is seen to be between a pair of mates. It never leaves that position yet, it magically changes to the right (the selected) card. SANDWICHANGE FOR HOFZINSER (Meir Yedid): Then, use the same easy maneuver for a Hofzinser routine that has stood the test of time. So much better than the original! LORAYNE BLUFF COUNT: It's a bluff but, boy, is it a good one. Four of a kind changes to a different four of a kind in an instant. THE MOVING PENCIL: Probably the best special kind of force ever devised. It's been used and copied by cardmen all over the world. The routine lets your spectator do the magic. MULESHOE GAMBLER: This routine stands head and shoulders above probably every gambling demonstration, with a regular deck, ever thought of, devised, invented, published!
