Dedication

I remember a number of years ago when I was feeling despondent because I

thought I’d never come up with anything good of my own in magic. You said,

“Don’t worry! In a few years, you’ll be writing books on your routines!” And I

knew you meant it. Well, you were right! So I dedicate this series of books to

you, my biggest fan, my best friend, my encourager and supporter.

These books are dedicated to my sweetheart and wife,

Kristi Guinn

I NTRODUCTION (A LDO C OLOMBINI )

M agic is a fun thing. Besides being fun to do, it has also allowed me to meet some very

Scott has the uncanny ability to jump from card magic to parlor magic with the same ease that most of us

use to sing a song. And, by the way, he is also extremely versatile. In case some of you don’t know,

music is another thing that he likes to study. Contrary to myself, Scott has an ear for music while I simply

have an ear for pencils.

I am very glad and proud to be able to say that I inspired some of his work, as you will see in his credits

throughout the books. Scott takes the matter of credits seriously and is very precise about it, for which he

receives my admiration.

He lives in the quiet town of Star, Idaho (near Boise), population 463 if you count the cemetery. Boise’s

name derives from a French word that means ‘made of wood,’ but please do not hold this against the

lovely people of Idaho. Scott makes a living out of working for them on a regular basis, doing close-up,

restaurant magic, stand up and kid shows. And, he does them well! Sometimes he even uses his Italian

accent....

Scott creates magic that inspires enjoyment in the hearts and minds of the onlookers that share his

performances. He is able to ‘touch’ people’s hearts with a sense of wonder, happiness and humor. These

routines have been worked on and refined over many years of presentations to the ‘real’ people (as in ‘lay

audience.’) Try them out, every single one, and see for yourself which ones will fit your personality and

way of performing. I am sure it will be most, if not all, found in his books.

Thanks Scott, for the fun you gave me during our much too rare conversations. And, I’m sure I speak for

all who have been lucky enough to witness your performances when I say, “Thanks for all the great

magic!” As we say in Italy, “Continua in questo modo che vai forte!” And I think that everyone will

agree with this!

wonderful people; some very good performers; some creative individuals. My friend Scott

Guinn is a combination of all the above. Besides being good at performing our art, he is also

very talented, especially when doing the finest impression of Aldo Colombini I have ever seen! So, if

someday you answer the phone and you hear, “Hi, this is Aldo”... be careful because it might be Scott!

F IRST WORD

R ick Johnsson put it perfectly in Practical Impossibilities when he said,

I believe the material in this book is good. I use it to earn my living. I do over 400

shows per year, all of which are for “real people” in the “real world.” My magic

has to mystify and entertain or I don’t get more work. I feel my strengths are the

ability to pick strong material, to routine it so that it flows and to present it so the

audience has fun and is amazed. The effects in this book meet those criteria in my

experience. Most of these effects are based on the work of others (if Earl Nelson hadn’t already used it, I

would have called this book Variations ). However, I have modified, adapted and routined all of this

material, and every item has been performed many times under fire in paid performances to excellent

response. I hope you enjoy your journey to the back cover and find many effects you can use.

ABOUT CREDITS

Believe it or not, on a recent lecture tour, I was actually criticized for crediting too much! However, I

believe crediting is proper and a sign of respect and gratitude to the giants on whose shoulders we stand. I

have tried to give due credit throughout this tome. In some instances, it isn’t clear or even possible to find

out where a routine came from originally or who came up with what variation. What I have done is

credited the source where I found or learned a routine and given the credits from that source where

available.

Enjoy your journey to the back cover!

Scott

Second

Edition

This edition contains the same routines as the first edition, but

many photos have been added to aid you in the learning

process. Further, some of the routines have been expanded or

rewritten (some extensively) to make the explanations more

clear. In addition, the material has been reorganized into

chapters. I have always felt this trilogy contained good material.

Now I feel it has a format worthy of the material. Enjoy!

Great Scott! It's Card Magic!

“The monumental gall necessary to write a book is staggering. The

would-be author must pre-assume that he has something of value to

communicate, and that his readers will accept the ‘wealth’ he has so

magnanimously decided to share.”
