The book features five, sleight-lite effects that are part of Michael's current repertoire and include some that have been performed at his Magic Castle gigs or as he puts it, “They are among my absolute favorite card effects and I am thrilled to share them with you.”
Routines include:
BR-ACAAN: A go-to "Any Card at Any Number" routine. It is sleight-lite, easy, and impossible to backtrack. Based on ideas from Barrie Richardson.
Sympa: Liepzig's "Sympathetic 13" gets a jazzy makeover in an easy version using a single ungaffed deck that is fully shuffled by the audience.
Decisions, Decisions: Direct from Michael's Magic Castle set, think impossible "Blizzard" abetted by several audience members. Your spectators name any card color, value, and suit to jam a card. You cleanly remove that named card from the deck and then instantly show every other card hasn't been printed yet! Yeah, they are all blank.
Sherlock: Based on a Harry Lorayne routine, a card is selected and returned, and using Holmesian deduction and Scotland Yard line-ups, is revealed in a rather unusual fashion. But then Sherlock also reveals the card's three sidekick mates. But then Dr. Watson sockdollagers everyone by revealing a prediction that has been in front of everyone's goggles from the start.
Order In The Cortex: Two participants shuffle and cut an ordinary deck. Each keeps half of the cut cards, then removes six cards sight unseen from their piles. They then look at a single card of their six and swap it face-down with their partner who mixes that card with their other five. The two six-card packets are turned face-up as the subjects try to discern which of the six cards, they are looking at is the stranger from the other person's packet. They may guess correctly, but the magician has already read the minds of both and pulled matching cards out of a jumbo deck.
The book also includes liner notes with some nuances and hints to use, as well as some touches on Jay Ose's false triple cut and a false full-deck mix.
