Back To Aces by Steve Beam



The Trapdoor by Steve Beam
Issue 1, 1983
Page 6 et seq.

Personal Comment: Practical! But personal. I can see this being a pet routine of Steve Beam. And I see why lot's of magicians seem to have requested to see this one during conventions as Steve claims in the Issue. SO I won't use it... but everyone can make up his own version. With as many "displays" as one likes.

The Incredible Table Change by Jean-Jaques Sanvert



Apocalypse by Harry Lorayne
Volume 6, Number 3 March 1983
Page 751 et seq.

Personal Comment: With power comes great responsibility and with practice comes great possibility. If the angles are right, this is good. Apparently Steve Beam has a table change that uses the exacts same method. (position of the hands an all) But the part with the sandwich is a variation in handling that is just Jean-Jaques Sanvert. It is angle sensitive as hell, if you do not have overly large hands like Jean-Jaques Sanvert, but if you do this is for you. Easy enough once you get the knack.
