Coincidence Card – The card expert removes a “Coincidence Card” from the deck and sets it aside. He then asks the spectator to divide the deck in half. The “Coincidence Card” is shown to be a queen (or whatever value). Two queens end up in the same position in each half (at a number chosen by the spectator). The last queen is revealed in the middle of the undealt cards.
The methods to produce the three mates of the “Coincidence Card” are very basic. The false cut is very basic. The initial positioning of the principal cards can look fishy.
This trick still may bewildered some spectators.
No Sweat Assembly – Three Aces are laid in a row on the table. The Ace of Spades, the Leader Ace, is cut into the middle of the deck. A few cards are placed on top of each Ace and the packets are gathered. The combined packet is riffled toward the deck three times. The card wiz turns the packet face up and spreads it across the table. Not an Ace to be seen. The face down deck is spread. The four Aces are discovered reversed in the middle.
Pretty good trick...with so many Ace Assemblies out there , I doubt if many people will add this one to their repertoire if they already do a few.
Coupling – Two spectators end up with the only two face cards from a packet of 13 cards after an unusual selection process.
This trick works by way of a procedural/mathematical force. I think procedural sequences should be brief and connected to randomness. I think the force is done one time too many. Spectators may start thinking about numbers (adding numbers together).
Daley’s Last Bullet Party – The cardician displays three Jokers and an Ace of Spades. One of the Jokers is rubbed against the Ace whereupon it turns into the Ace of Clubs. The other two Jokers are rubbed against the Aces and also transform into black Aces. Finally, two of the cards become red Aces, giving the cardician the best four of a kind you can have.
Impressive effect
Seven – A card between two jacks transposes with a card in the pocket.
I like Cameron's idea for the Kosky Switch and the card posing as another.
Impressive effect
Absorption – The four jacks absorb/vanish three cards, one at a time.
This is a good trick if the audience doesn't notice the discrepancy when the deck is cut.
I think there is enough good stuff in the book to give it a recommendation. But I definitely think this is the weakest book in the Moment's Notice series.
