October 1999 Belated Halloween wishes to one and all. The tardiness of this sheet, never excusable, owes to the considerable time I invested in a live Halloween performance. It's the curse of the season. Hermetic Press recently surprised us with Barrie Richardson's Theater of the Mind , and Stephen has two more advertised, Kort and Magic in Theory . My own interests lie in card tricks, and I'll mention two worth the cover price.
Any card is named.
Cards are turned up from two decks. No pairs appear until the named cards match. Each makes a random selection. The packets are shuffled fairly and traded. Without any fishing, magician names both selected cards.
