You are sitting at a blackjack table and you have won a stack of chips during the last plays. The dealer ran out of cards and has to shuffle his six decks, which takes a while. This is the ideal moment to impress with a few chip flourishes. Of course, all of these moves can also be executed with coins rather than chips. You will learn: The Pickup Move Roll Down Double Cut Shuffle on a soft surface Shuffle on a hard surface Shuffling tall stacks The Twirl The Triple Twirl The Reverse Twirl Knuckle Roll The Pullover The video clips on the disc are in MPEG format accessible through a HTML frontend, which means that they are viewable on pretty much any computer including PCs and Macs. You can also choose the downloadable version which uses lower quality WMV files. The video quality is still adequate to learn these moves, but they are not quite as crisp as the MPEG clips on the disc. However you also save quite a bit of money and you can download the zip file immediately after paying. 1st edition 2004 Format/Media Options HTML | by download HTML | on disc (+6.00) 14.00 USD Page 5/582 Lybrary.com Catalog 01/2008 Scarne Compilation disc type: USB MEMORY John Scarne You get a 1GByte USB flash memory stick loaded with all 15 John Scarne ebooks, and as bonus you get the extremely rare first issue of John Scarne's 13 issue running newsletter.

The pack is then cut several times and handed back to the magician. A pile of cards suddenly falls off the pack, leaving the magician holding the spectators card. METHOD When the card is selected by the spectator, the card on the bottom of the pack is crimped by the magician’s pinky. The spectator’s card is then placed on the top of the pack and the pack is cut. This now means that the spectator’s card is underneath the crimped card. The pack can be passed around the room to be cut several times and the spectator’s card will always be under the crimped card. The pack is then handed back to the magician who quietly puts his thumb under the crimped card appearing to be clumsy and allows the cards above his thumb to fall on the floor. The card under his thumb will be the spectators. The magician can also allow the rest of the cards to fall, leaving only the spectators card in his hand. This trick looks amazing because the audience has seen that the magician has not had a lot of contact with the pack and the whole routine has been totally impromptu.

    Christopher Welsh 1005 Inland Lane McKinney, TX 75070 (approximately 14,700 words) 407-574-3423 [email protected] Coffeyville By C.E.L. Welsh Harry slowed his breathing. Across from him, no more than twenty 20 paces away, a man aimed a gun at his heart and meant to fire. Harry wanted to keep his eyes on the gun barrel, that dot of empty blackness that would spit out a metal slug with his name on it, but he knew he should be watching the man's shoulders, his chest, his stomach; —all key areas where a man might tense, moments before he pulled the trigger. He should, but he couldn't. Harry watched none of these areas. Instead, he fixed on the gunman's eyes. Each of his His eyes where washeterochromatic; each a different color. That alone wouldn't be enough to draw in Harry, to cause him to risk making a mistake at this very crucial moment; it was the quality—the nature—of the heterochromatic eyes that drew him in. The right eye was a pale blue that reflected and amplified the stage lights surrounding them, seeming to shine under it's its own power. The left eye was a dull, steely gray that pulled light in, muting it, and causing the right eye to practically glow in the contrast. In addition, the man's eyes radiated something akin to hate...was it bitterness? Disgust? Whatever it was, the crowd surrounding the men seemed sure that the man with the gun had every intention of firing when the moment was right.

Adrian Smith, then current Dean of the Society of American Magicians. At the time, Harold as he was known to his friends, had the largest magic library in the world. Often Harold was a dinner guest at our house and as usual after our meal “the boys” would discuss magic and collecting. Harold’s plan for his books and ephemera was to donate it all to his alma mater, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. As we all know that’s what happened to his collection. Ed on the other hand disagreed with Harold’s plan and said that when the time came for him to dissolve his library he wanted everything to be sold; so that other collectors could enjoy what he had amassed.

  • As We Kicked Off the New Millennium, Readers of This
    s we kicked off the new Amillennium, readers of this magazine cast their ballots to elect the ten most influential magicians of the 20th century. Although there were some sur- prises, few could argue with the top two — Harry Houdini and Dai Vernon. While scores of books have been written about Houdini, David Ben has spent the past five years prepar- ing the first detailed biography of Dai Vernon. What follows is a thumbnail sketch of Vernon’s remarkable life, legacy, and con- tribution to the art of magic. BY DAVID BEN Scene: Ottawa admired performers such as T.

    Systems Engineering in Transportation Projects A Library of Case Studies Produced by the INCOSE Transportation Working Group Issue 7.0, December 6th, 2014 1 Systems Engineering in Transportation Projects: A Library of Case Studies Introduction The Transportation Working Group has recognized that there is a need on the part of practicing systems engineers for a library of case studies of the application (or sometimes the lack of application) of Systems Engineering (SE) to transportation projects in order to learn from the experiences of others and to make a case for investing in SE. This document contains such a library. This library will grow over time as we add further case studies. We hope that, as it grows, clear themes will emerge that the reader may discern and turn to advantage on their own project, even if it differs in some significant respects from the projects described below. In this issue, there are thirteen transportation case studies: 1. West Coast Route Modernisation Project in the UK 2. SkyTrain control center upgrade and expansion in Vancouver, Canada 3. Prestwick Air Traffic Control Centre in the UK 4. Docklands Light Railway Expansion in London, UK 5. NETLIPSE, a European research project studying large infrastructure projects 6. Upgrade of the East London Line in London, UK 7. Santa Clara County Traffic Operations System and Signal Coordination Project in the USA 8. Extension of the Jubilee Line in London, UK 9. Upgrade of the Jubilee Line and Northern Line in London, UK 10. Replacement of the CityLink Control System in Melbourne, Australia 11. Network Rail Performance Modeling in the UK 12.
