Effect: Two empty matchboxes and one containing some matches are moved around on a table. The spectators are unable to identify which box contains the matches.
Secret: All three matchboxes are empty. Attached to your right arm and hidden by your sleeve is a matchbox containing some matches. Shake a box with your left hand it sounds empty. When you mix up the three visible boxes you can make any one appear to be the full one, simply by shaking it with your right hand. The spectators think it contains matches because they hear the sound from the hidden box.

Anti-Gravity Cards
Effect: Several playing cards adhere to your hand, until you tell them to fall off.
Secret: You need to make a special card. It is simply an ordinary card with a tab cut from another card attached to its back. The special card is first placed face up on your palm and the tab is gripped between your fingers. Arrange some more cards between the special card and your hand as shown. Turn your hand over and the cards will appear to be sticking to it – until you let go of the tab.

Colour Sense
Secret: Ask someone to take any crayon from a box and hand it to you behind your back.You then turn to face the audience but keep the crayon behind your back. Secretly dig your right thumb into the crayon. Keep hold of the crayon behind your back as you bring your right hand up to your forehead as if concentrating. Take a quick look at your nail – you will see bits of crayon in it and will know the chosen colour. Concentrate some more and then announce the colour.

HANDS UP
Although this looks like a feast of divination it has nothing to with it. It is simply one of those things in which a trick is involved. You do not have to watch the man from any angle to do your guessing. All you have to do is look quickly at both his hands, and one will have a pale color, showing the absence of blood in the hand’s veins. The hand with swollen veins is the one that stayed down. Easy, isn’t it?

DEAD AGAIN!
Have a pencil sharpened to a thin point, hand it to one of your friends. Also give him a piece of paper with numbers from I to 10 up and down, ask him to write first the name of a dead person next to any number he desires and then fill the other numbered spaces with the names of living persons. As soon as he hands you back the sheet of paper you will know which one is the dead. The dead person’s name writing will be a little thinner than the other names.

The Haunted Pack
Secret: Ask someone to take a card, look at it and remember it. Point to the top card of the pack. As you do this you secretly drop a few grains of salt on the top card. The spectator puts his card on the top of the pack and the pack is then cut, so the chosen card is hidden somewhere near the centre. Hit the edge of the pack with the heel of your hand and, thanks to the secret salt, the pack will divide at the chosen card.

WHICH IS WHICH
Have three cigarettes, one of each brand, on the end of one of them stick a tack, secretly. We will say the Chesterfield. You know that this particular one is heavier at one end than the other and that the two other cigarettes are of even weight if held at the center between the thumb and index fingers, like the arm of a scale. Turn your back and ask them to mix the cigarettes and have them handed to you. You will behind your back always pick the Chesterfield. Remember to remove the tack every time you give the cigarettes back for examination. Do not repeat this trick too often.

Miserable Money
Secret: Secretly conceal a wad of wet tissue paper between the first and second fingers of your right hand. Borrow a coin and place it directly on top of the tissue. Be careful that you do not allow anyone to see the tissue as you do this. Now squeeze the coin and the tissue together. Water drips from the tissue and it appears that the coin is crying

Two In The Hand
Secret: Give someone any two items. They could be coins, cards, buttons – anything you like. He holds one in one hand and one in the other. While your back is turned, ask him to think of either object – he has a free choice. To help him concentrate suggest he holds the chosen object up to his forehead. After a short while, ask him to lower his hand and you then turn round.You know which he chose as the hand holding it will be lighter than the other. Holding it up causes blood to drain from that hand.

DEAD!
Ask the people present if they believe in spirits. Of course a little smile will be shown by most. Take the sheet of paper and tear it in three pieces. You have now one top, one center and one bottom piece. The tearing of the paper is done by creasing the paper and tear it with your hands by holding both ends of the paper.This will give you two pieces of paper with machine cut edges three ways around and one rough edge. The center piece will have two rough edges. Hand the straight pieces to two different people and ask them to write the name of one of their relatives who are very much alive, next hand the center piece to another person and ask him to write die name of someone who is dead, in his family, and to verify the fact that your prediction is correct ask the person with the dead name to also write it down on a separate piece of paper. Now everyone fold their pieces of paper several times making it impossible for you to see the names. These slips are dropped into a hat and shaken around, then thrown on the top of the bar counter. All you have to do is to look for the bundle with the most rough edges. That, my friend, is the name of the dead.

Match Restoration
Effect: A matchstick is broken in half then magically made whole.
Secret: You need a handkerchief with a matchstick hidden in its hem. A match is taken from a matchbox and wrapped in the handkerchief. Ask a spectator to break the match through the material but make sure it is the one hidden in the hem that he breaks. Shake out the handkerchief and the match just removed from the box falls out. Casually put the handkerchief (with the broken match concealed in the hem) back into your pocket. It appears that the match was restored by magic.

DOWN THE HATCH
THE HOW: Have a cigar maker to finish a cigar around a thin test tube and have a cork for its opening, keeping this faked cigar amongst two other real ones in your pocket. Better yet secure a “Phillip glass” in any of the local magic shops. The minute someone says, “Have a drink, Joe” reach for your cigar and take the cork off with your thumb. The opening is toward the palm of your hand, the cigar is held between index and second fingers. The empty whisky glass is held between second finger and thumb and as you life it, tilt the opening of the faked cigar toward the glass and it will become filled with whisky.
