Semi-Automatic Card Tricks VIII arrived with a thud in the mail box today, signed by Mr Steve Beam himself and also included with a copy of the Trapdoor issue 58.
Lucky me to have the whole weekend to go through the book.

The book itself is devided into 12 chapters:

SINGULARITIES, 19 effects
MAGIC FROM SPAIN, 4 effects
GOING MENTAL, 18 effects
GAMBLING, 8 effects
THE MAGIC OF LEWIS JONES, 10 effects
MAGIC FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM, 11 effects
DOWN/UNDER DEALS, 15 effects
REVELATIONS, 14 effects
THE MAGIC OF RAMON RIOBOO, 15 effects
PSUEDO SHUFFLES, 15 effects
UPDATES, 7 effects
MOVES, 8 moves

That makes it 144 items my friends plus moves that are included in the effects.
The book is 319 pages big (the biggest in the serie according to Steve himself)
