In about a week my latest eBook will be available. It's called Not Your Ordinary Card Tricks, and it contains 13 of my favorite offbeat card effects. Each trick is either a unique plot, or a unique take on an existing plot. It is highly unlikely that your audiences will have seen anything quite like these card tricks. All are from my working professional arsenal.
The book is 124 pages with nearly 200 photos, and the required sleights are explained. There is also a sleight index that is hyperlinked, so you can go right to a particular move if you need a refresher. This book will be selling on my site for $22.50. However, I am offering a pre-release special for Café members and my blog readers only. If you buy the book before it is listed on my site in the next few days, you won't have to pay full price. You only have to pay $16.50, a savings of more than 25%. That's only $1.27 per routine! Obviously, you won't be able to go through the shopping cart to do this, as the book won't be on the website for this deal. Send your PayPal payment of $16.50 to scott(at)scottfguinn(dot)com. Make sure to put the word "ordinary" in the subject box or message box at PayPal so I know what the payment is for. When the book is ready in a few days, I'll send it to you, along with a little something extra! For those interested, here is a list of the routines included in this eBook: - COEUR D’ALENE ASSEMBLY - An assembly routine with a reverse and instant repeat - DALEY DOUBLE - A fun and magical feature routine - HI-WAYS & BI-WAYS - an elevator routine with a twist and a punch-in-the-head ending - GS AAAA PRODUCTION - not your ordinary four ace production - THE JOKER’S ON YOU - a great opener where not just the faces but also the backs of two cards transpose. Easy! - FACE OFF - a printing effect with any 4-of-a-kind called for from a regular deck - PARALLEL UNIVERSE - this one is just weird... and STRONG! - NEW BUGHOUSE POKER - a wild and fun poker demo from a brand new deck - THE LEGEND OF SCOTT STAR - a guaranteed crowd-pleasing feature routine - MORON CRYPTOLOGY - another totally offbeat but killer effect - BRUNDLE-FLY TRANSPOSITION - a transposition effect with a presentation based on the movie "The Fly" - MR. COLLINS’ OPUS - a two selection "Everywhere and Nowhere" with an impossible finish

Scott, what am I gonna do with you? You implied that you were going to take a break from releasing books and I thought I (and my printer) might get a few days' rest. Even though you know I'm not a card man, you knew I couldn't resist this. Especially since I made a mistake and thought "Moron Cryptology" read "Mormon Cryptology."
Though I still can't figure out what a crypt has to do with a card trick. Ah well, you've sucker-punched me again. Gotta read it. *jeep! --Grandpa

I implied no such thing, my good man. I said that the last of the individual routine ebooks that I updated would be the last, at least for a while. But I've been working on this big, multi-effect ebook for quite a while.
You simply read between the lines where there was nothing but blank space--not unlike the space between my ears! You're OK, Chet--I don't care what the so-called "mental health professionals" say!

"Mental health professionals" is a contradiction in terms.
All seriousness aside, Scott, I can't wait to read this. And now I have to figure out whether "multi-effect" refers to the effects within the book, or the book itself. Because if the book itself does tricks, that would be So Cool! And I want a decoder badge with it. *jeep! --Senile Grandpa

The good news is that the book is finished and available for purchase on my website. The bad news is, that means the pre-release special is now over. Thanks to everyone who participated! I hope you're enjoying the book!

I have some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is that I'm writing a review of this, and a basketload of other Scott Guinn books. The good news is that it looks as if it will take me 48 years to finish the reviews. Just finished reading *Not Yer Ordinary Card Tricks* and am delighted by it! I could say there's a strange, strange variation of the Anniversary Waltz which is delightfully funny at the same time it's strange. I could say that "Parallel Universe" is really a game of Hide-and-Seek with a card - or is it Ghost in the Graveyard? I could say that some of these tricks start out looking like ordinary card tricks - and then take a sudden twist into either the Twilight Zone or a Marx Brothers movie. Sometimes both places at the same time! Instead, I'll say that the price of the book is more than justified by some of the best descriptions and tutorials of 32 sleights, some of which you've never heard, all of which you'll want to use. And the tutorials (well illustrated with clear photographs) are, again, some of the best I've read. Yes, I include Royal Road and Card College as comparisons. It's just too bad I don't have time to write a review right now. *jeep! --Grandpa
