I Predict by Jim Molinari

Apocalypse by Harry Lorayne
Volume 8, Number 5 May 1985
Page 1065

Personal Comment: Very nice little trick. But I feel, as much of an impact as this could have have this is more for the fellow magician. There are so many little thing to throw off magicians that you know who Jim Molinari had in mind when coming up with this handling. But it's a good trick and the method is really, really clever. No setup, little work. Good one. Bravo.

Ein König findet die Karte by Jochen Zmeck

Zauber-Abc (German book) by Jochen Zmeck
Page 114 et seq.

Personal Comment: Another one from that very good children's book on magic. A spelling trick. I had to change the effect slightly, as I needed to convert this to English. The actual trick is self working. This uses a force. In the actual trick the German word for king is spelled out (KÖNIG) which has five letters. That means that four cards wind up on the table. And those happen to be the four aces. This makes no sense, yet feels very good and makes the selection of the card a free choice. Normally the selection or the spectators name is spelled out to find the selection. This here makes it so easy. And I think the audience doesn't care.

Personal Comment: I don't like spelling tricks. But I like this one. I suggest you look it up. It is practical and the suggested patter is even funny.
