The Fine Art of Magic George G Kaplan

Description: The Fine Art of Magic, by George G. Kaplan, is an entirely new, thoroughly American work. It is the outcome of twenty years or more of analysis, invention, and actual presentation of magic by Mr. Kaplan, whose ingenious feats and striking improvements have aroused the wonder and admiration of many of our best-informed experts. It is, in a very real sense of the term, the “life work” of a man who, though not a professional conjurer, has obviously given an enormous amount of study to the art of magic and made important contributions to its practice by devising new principles, new ways of employing old ones, and some very fine wholly new effects. vii Forword 1 Technique for the Short Card4 The Short Card, The Corner Short5 The Secret Gadget5 Advantages of the Corner-Short Procedures6 The Pencil Dot8 Avoiding Contrasts8 To Bring the Corner Short to the Top of the Pack9 The Kaplan Fan Cut11 To bring the corner-short to the Bottom of the Pack12 To Control a Selected Card by Means of the Corner-Short12 The Kaplan Control of a Glimpsed Card by Means of the Corner-Short14 Retaining Control of several Glimpsed Cards by Means of the Corner-Short16 Controlling Three Selected Cards by Means of the Corner-Short18 To bring a Prearranged Packet above a Chosen Card by Means of the Corner-Short19 Obtaining a Desired Packet Instantly by Means of the Corner-Short19 Using the Corner-Short to Retain a Prearranged Deck in Order 21 Subtle Sleights24 Master Card Control27 The Riffle-Force – A New Angle29 The Gambler´s False-Cut30 The Peek33 The Step35 To Glimpse or Sight a Card Secretly37 Impromptu Marking of Cards 39 Tricks Employing The Corner-Short42 Out-of-the-Room Selection43 The X-Ray Location44 Double-Back Corner-Short Location46 Mind-Reading with Two Subjects46 The “Impossible” Discovery47 The Twenty-Sixth Card Location – Using a Corner-Short48 Au Naturelle51 The Topsy-Turvy Fan 55 Close Up Card Tricks56 Will-o´-the-Wisp Routine65 New Card Affinity67 Revello Card Circle69 The “Stop!” Fan Discovery71 Fan Force72 Kaplan´s Clock Trick74 A Lesson in Misdirection79 Rex Card Mystery88 Multiple Do As I Do90 Follow the Arrow93 The Card in the Shoe94 The Royal Assembly101 The Captain Kidd Card (First Version)103 Second Version105 Magnetic Thought Transference 107 Platform Card Tricks110 The Lie Detector113 Giant Trio-Flight119 Card-Stabbing124 The Kaplan Rising Cards128 The Card in the Balloon134 A Winning Wager137 The Kaplan Torn and Restored Card141 The Chameleon Card 145 Mind Reading Tricks with Cards148 The Calcutta Mystery (First Version)152 Second Version153 Think155 Do As I Do158 The Princess Card Trick163 The Yogi´s Secret165 The New Brain-Wave Deck167 Mahatma Thought Control173 Psychic Sympathy175 Twenty-One Cards A Double Prediction179 Crystal Clairvoyance181 Dial182 Information, Please!185 The Medium’s Card Test186 Yogi Spelling Test188 The Eighteen-Cards Spelling Trick191 The Triple Spelling Trick193 The Three-Billet Test No. 1194 The Three-Billet Test No. 2 197 More Mind Reading Tricks200 The Trance Quick-and-Dead Test204 A Capitol Problem209 Do-As-I-Do Telephone Test211 An Improved Sealed-Message Reading214 Mind-Figures218 The Spirit-Slates and Magazine Test219 Slate Move223 A Cigarette-Paper Pellet Switch226 The Three-Billet Test No. 3230 Forcing Three Numbers231 The Odd-Even Force 233 Coin Tricks236 The Kaplan Coin Switch237 The Kaplan Okito-Box Presentation241 I Do As You Do242 The Stack of Quarters248 The Sympathetic Coins251 Coin-Extraction Perfected 255 Selected Tricks258 The Spirit Handkerchief260 A Billiard-Ball Transposition263 The Brema Tube and Bill267 The Cigarette Vanish in Handkerchief268 The Trap-Door `Kerchief272 Tying the Knot for the Rope Trick275 The Game of “Thirty-One” Played with a Dice279 The Fifteen Match-Sticks Puzzle 283 Miscellaneous Plaftorm Tricks286 Ben Ali´s Rope292 The Lemon Trick301 Card, Crystal Ball, and Panties305 The Gypsy Thread Trick313 The Comedy of Errors319 The Kaplan Nest of Boxes Routine 329 Concluding Observations 337 Index Publisher: Fleming Book Company _gsrx_vers_1652 (GS 9.7.4 (1652))
