Tarbell Course contributor Nick Conticello is back with his biggest and best book yet, a series of refreshingly new takes on that venerable standby of mathematical card magic, the Automatic Placement. Nick introduces new variations of the principle with the Inverted Placement and the Symmetric Placement. No sleight of hand is required for ANY of these effects! Contents include:
ABC/123: Alex Elmsley's Spell by the Numbers without the Faro shuffle.
NO LOOKING ORACLE: Without seeing the face of a single card, the performer locates one mental selection and names another.
SELF-PROMOTION: A Nick Conticello Miracle! Destined to become a classic, this effect introduces the Inverted Placement.
THINK STOP: A simultaneous discovery of two mentally chosen cards. No cutting off and counting of cards by the audience; two small numbers are merely thought of by the selectors. Introducing the Symmetric Placement.
THINK STOP VARIATION: A refinement, making the previous effect suitable for larger audiences and reducing the chance of spectator memory failure.
DOUBLE POSITION PREDICTION: This time the performer predicts the positions of two thought-of cards.
And there's more! Also includes a brief historical introduction and bibliography.
If you LOVE sleightless card magic...if you LOVE original thinking...if you LOVE practical, direct material...you just have to own Automatic Placements!
