A New Method for Turning a Borrowed Deck of Cards Into an Automatic Killing Machine!
Docc Hilford has devised a simple yet highly effective system that can be applied to any borrowed deck of cards in minutes, making the free selection of any card or pair of cards instantly known! Here are just a few of the effects possible:
- Two cards and a word are chosen by three spectators. You hypnotize a woman who reveals the names of the cards and the chosen word!
- You write three different predictions, each with a spectator's initials on them. The spectators freely select cards and your predictions match the selections!
- A spectator secretly chooses two coins from his pocket. Another freely chooses two cards. The values of the coins and cards are added together. You know the total, the values of the coins, the names of both cards and even the date on one of the coins!
This system took years to develop along with the audience-tested routines. Now you can perform miracles without sleight-of-hand or memory techniques. |

Inspired by Brother John Hamman and Ed Marlo, Don England is truly a modern day Hofzinser! For not since Hofzinser has there been such a prolific creator of ingenious gaffs and routines with prepared cards as Don England. A strong claim to be sure! But his book Gaffed to the Hilt provided strong support for such a claim. And now this book, Don England's Paradox, will surely cement what many in the "underground" have known for years.
From the Introduction by Brother John Hamman, "What you will discover in this text are some of his explorations, some of his 'open sesame!' visual magic, some dreams. Enter and you will find some rare treasures. Not golden 'oldies' but 'new gems'-new polished troves-for he is one of our genies that opens up the bottle of fascinating gimmicks." |
