Pre-Cannibal Cards by Lynn Searles

Epilogue by Karl Fulves
Issue 14 March 1972
Page 109

Personal Comment: This really is very similar to the other version I have covered here before. The only difference is that the sandwich in the end is more like we magicians are used to. Interestingly it makes the routine easier. The last cut I would substitute by a pass, I did the cut anyway, because that's the way it was written up. I still think this is more a Visitors routine, but I give the creator of the cannibal card plot the benefit of a doubt when it comes to naming the plot. Clear effect and very deceptive. Cool stuff.

Difficulty 2/5

More Cannibals by Lynn Searles

Pallbearers Review by Karl Fulves
Autumn 1973 The Lynn Searles Issue
Page 673 et seq.

Personal Comment: This is certainly no "Cannibal" routine despite the title. This is more a "Visitors" plot. But its a good trick. Easy to do and rather deceptive. Even if you don't do that routine, if you ever need to make a card vanish from a sandwich this is one good way to do it.

Difficulty 2/5

Isolated Visitors by Derek Dingle

Richard's Almanac by Richard Kaufman
Volume 1, Number 11, July 1983 Page 89 et seq.

Personal Comment: I don't like the visitors plot by Larry Jennings that much. It always feels like a cute idea rather than a fully grown idea. But Derek's handling is straight forward and I like it.

Difficulty: 3/5

Visiting Royalty by David Arthur

The Collected Almanac by Richard Kaufman
Page xix et seq.
Intended for issue 3, November 1982, of Inner Circle

Personal Comment: While I don't see myself performing this effect I can see how it can play great for others. My personal addition would be not to have the black jacks turn into the red jacks, but into the red tens. That way the change would be much clearer. Staying true to the source material sucks most of the time ;)
