Has anyone else come across a book on mentalism that deals with a peculiarity surrounding Hoyle cards? (There is a particular one, but as this is a public forum I will not post it here) I have tried to look through the books I own and no luck in finding this again. I came across some of, what I believe, are the needed cards but I would like to read again the set up. If you remember reading something about this please let me know the title of the book or the author and thank you so much.

Are you referring to the difference between "new" Hoyle cards as opposed to "old"?

If so that is Bob Cassidy; I am not sure which book off hand.

Mavericks or Shellbacks?

It was Cassidy, thank you... I found it, it was in Fundamentals. Unfortunately, I forgot that this was for Maverick cards rather than the regular Hoyle decks. Do you know if the same difference exists between the St Paul decks and the post buy out ones made by USPCC on the regular Hoyle cards? Thanks again for your assistance.

Actually it works for Shell Back Hoyle Cards as well as long as you can find St Paul and Cincinatti cards.

Thanks for the tip burger! I found a load of older Shellbacks, now I just need to go buy the newer cards.
