effect with a twist, and a beautiful flourish that teaches why a
show of skill is not always a hint to method!
2 Neoteric Signed Card: Brother Hamman's card effect with two
selections and an absolute miracle ending that shows how isolation
can be efficient!
3 The Fifth Card Illusion II: A visual revelation to an
old-fashioned card trick which gives an example to visual
tag-lines in theatrical form.
4 Noraa's Paradoxes Part One: Contradiction and irony that can not
be explained presents the use of instinctual (mis)direction.
