Where can Walton's Kaleidoscope Cards be found?

If I had the book I wouldn't have asked, now would I? Or is that beyond your comprehension? Forgive me for asking such a difficult question; sorry. In any case, thanks loads for your help - I'm sure someone who has the book will give me the information. Really all quite unimportant. Again, thanks so much for your help.
Actually, a better, more succinct, to the point, response to your so helpful "Read the book" response would have been, "Answer the question." So, ignore the paragraph above this one (except for "thanks so much for your help").

Harry, as I have the book, I will help: Trost rightly credits, saying "My routine is based on Judge Frank Price's "The Mulshoe Gambler," which appeared in Apocalypse, September 1989."
In fact, in the book, the title of the trick is "Trost on "The Mulshoe gambler" I hope this helps. Sincerely, Andrew |

Yes, it does, Andrew. Thank you. I should have known better than to have asked bblumen and wasted my time and everyone else's. I'd be curious as to what Trost added to Frank Price's lovely, any deck, original routine. No, I'm not asking bblumen - God forbid! Thanks again, Andrew.

Actually, the original Muleshoe Gambler is not really a "packet" trick. HL.

No problem, it is a pleasure to help you! In fact, I will help you some more. You wanted to know what Trost added, and I have the answer: where as the original routine requires the use of Brother John's Gemini Count but Trost's uses gaffed cards and uses no sleight of hand. You are right, The Mulshoe Gambler is not a packet trick to begin with and neither is Trost's version. I may be thirteen years of age, but I am very resourceful.

Hey, Andrew, thanks again. You sure sound much older than thirteen - and you sure act older than the wiseguy above! It's a pleasure to hear and see such resourcefulness from young, new, people. Keep it up, and thanks for your help. Best - Harry L.

Dear Mr. Lorayne,
I borrowed Nick Trosts book from a friend and gave it back to him. But I remeber the title was something like "Nick Trost on the Muleshoe Gambler". So it was clear that it was his special version of that already known trick. Nick Trosts routine uses gaff cards. That surely is nor surprise to anyone. I made the cards myself, so I use different values of cards. Here is my routine: 1. I display a fan of five single cards - 10S, 5D, 10H, KS, JH. One card (5D) is put away and one card added afterwards (JS). 2. Now I should have two pairs, but can magically display a full house: 10S, JS, 10H, JC, JH. One card (10H) is put away and one card added afterwards (QS). 3. Now I should have only three of a kind left, but magically I can display four of a kind: 10S, JS, JD, JC, JH. a third card is removed (JH) and a third card added to the fan (AS). 4. Now I should have three of a kind again, but magically I can display a royal flush: 10S, JS, QS, KS, AS I act as if I did not understand poker really well when I gambled that game. So the audience tells me that the cards have transformed - I ask them if my cards are good... http://www.zauber-ei.com/zauber-ei-pages......m=jul-11 Kind regards Kai Abrell |

Thanks, Kai. Seems like the same as the original, except necessitates gaffed cards. I guess the reason is that it'd be a bit difficult to do the necessary moves with jumbo cards. Best - HL.

Nick Trost describes all his effects with standard playing cards. I looked for some effects that could be performed with jumbo cards. Several effects with gaff cards are suitable. With jumbo cards it can be hard to hide extra cards. Gaff cards work perfectly. And small packet tricks are also fine with jumbo cards because no complete pack is needed.

'ULTIMATE Cartes folles par Jean Pierre VALLARINO' - does anyone know if this is available anywhere - I'd prefer English translation as my French is poor to say the least. Thanks

In my opinion one of the most amazing packet routines is waving the aces by Guy Hollingworth. It really seems to take the twisting the aces theme to the next level and to the level after that!
Sincerely yours, Jonathan |

I think Marked Again by Jerry Somerdin is one of my favorite packet effects...4 cards turn face down, then change color, then have the name of each card printed on the back! Genius!

One person mentioned it much earlier, but Cardboard Chameleons by Daryl is a work of art. It is interesting, ever changing and leaves you clean at the end. It's also not at all difficult. It doesn't read especially well with all the false counts obvious to magicians, but done well I think it is one of the all time best packet tricks. (I'm in the middle of learning it, it's fairly easy to do, but as I get older it just takes longer to learn the routine). Maybe I should take a load off my mind and stick to say, Rising Cards. Anyway check out a beautiful rendition of Cardboard Chameleons here:

I've been performing Darwin's Jumping Gemini and variations of Doc Daley's last trick to extremely favorable reactions for over thirty years. Jumping Gemini, however, for all that time has been my go-to effect if I'm asked to do a trick.
A recent favorite is Steve Dobson's Otherworld Poker Hand in which the backs of a four-of-a-kind change twice. |

In my unbiased opinion the best are:
Ultimate Oil and Water by Anthony Owen http://tvmagic.co.uk/catalog/product_inf......s_id=124 and Miracle Monte by Andy Nyman and Anthony Owen http://tvmagic.co.uk/catalog/product_inf......ts_id=34 I'm very proud of them both. You can get them from the folks at TVMagic.co.uk or your favourite Magic Café sponsor can pick them up from Murphy's Magic Supplies.
