Impossible Book Test: A spectator selects a word from a page in a book. That word is then spelled out using a deck of Alphabet Cards through a series of shuffles.
Two Card Pocket Discovery: Two volunteers participate in a demonstration of poker cheating. First, the magician offers to demonstrate how to cheat when dealing off the bottom of the deck. After successfully demonstrating this feat, the magician then demonstrates why the best cheating technique is to cheat when you shuffle the cards. Amazingly, he demonstrates this, too, under “test conditions.”
