Comments: Typed manuscript. Eddies' unique stack provides for a variety of card effects. Gordon Miller's addition provides "outs" for the four possibilities when the stack won't work. Available as an e-book from Abbott's Magic Company and Trickshop. (I'm not sure if Gordon Miller's addition is available in these editions). There have been quite a few reprints of this effect on the market.
