Book jacket reads: Simon Aronson presents a wealth of new, baffling and entertaining card magic that doesn't depend on difficult sleight of hand. Here's your chance to Try the Impossible *A spectator freely names any card. A second spectator freely touches any car which matches the named card! And the performer never even looks through the deck! *Two freely selected cards magically appear at two freely named numbers! *The deck itself correctly reads a spectator's mind, four times to reveal the selected card and discovers the matching four of a kind as well! *Predict the exact location of two freely cut and replaced cards! *In depth look at the Aronson Stack with over 25 new effects that require no memorization and retain the entire stack intact! *And there's much more, mind boggling locations, spelling effects, a gambling scam, the Head Over Heels move, memorized deck effects, the UnDo Influence control and even a rap Ace production! *Simon artfully blends subtleties, stacks, mathematical concepts, gaffs and mental skills to create devilishly deceptive, yet easy to perform miracles.
