Bill Gusias and Ed Marlo show you how to perform absolute miracles with a borrowed deck using daub. Learn the real work, including various methods, techniques, and subtle ways of applying daub to locate cards that are selected, peeked at, or even just thought of, with uncanny accuracy. Card miracles that will seem all the more impressive, because the handling is kept to an absolute minimum. Marlo was reluctant to tip his mental card miracle, Think of a Card (included in the book); because he felt it closely approached real mind reading. This effect, along with The Super Miracle, will appeal to mentalists, as well as magicians. Contents include: Types of Daub, How to Get the Daub, The First Miracle, The Peek Location, Spectator Peeks Again, The Spectator Cuts, Just Another Miracle, The Lie Detective, Daub Co-incidence, Bill's Trick, Poker Face, Marlo's Application, In Lieu of Pencil Dots, The Force, Think of a Card, and The Super Miracle. And you don't need to purchase expensive commercial daub to perform your own card miracles; effective, improvised substances include ladies' eye shadow, watercolor paints, pencil graphite, cigar and cigarette ash, black tint from newsprint, and even hair oil. Remember, whatever its form, daub only serves one purpose - to mark a card "on the fly," so it can readily be recognized from the others. An invaluable reference for magicians and mentalists alike! Completely re-typeset, 13 pages.
