    Actual facial/body reading and ressources

    The two places that come to mind are Cog, Oculus, and Sherlockian. The first is a limited run book. It was available through Ellusionist in a limited run. A sequal is coming out soon. Oculus is a less reliable idea that can be applied to many routines. It is available at Penguin magic...

    Strong Prediction Effect

    I have played around with 4 or 5 different chair routines. They aren't easy to do over all, there is a lot of thought that you have to do on the spot with most. The Comedy Confabulation, Confab-shoe-lation, and A Show in Review are all good. The confabulation routine really works best with a...

    How long does it take to review my effect?

    It almost always takes longer than the 72 hours. Unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. They just get backed up.

    How can I improve hand eye coordination?

    It's exhausting but practice is key. Practice over a surface, like a bed or a futon. This helps save your back, every time you miss.

    What is the name of this trick?

    This has not been released but it is an original variation of bill to lemon. It's generally performed with a dollar bill and a paper shredder, or a candle to destroy the enveloped bills. There's a version taught in Mark Wilson's Course to magic. You can find this at most libraries.

    The routine is a copper silver transpo. You can get the needed gaffs in a hopping halves set. The actual routine or routines similar can be learned on Eric Jone's DVD Metal 3 along with countless other books and DVDs on coin magic. It's a solid beginner trick I hope you have success with it.

    Locating cards for card cheating

    The double deal is a good technique. With it you can give yourself or a confederate extra cards that can be used to give yourself options.

    It's called a button or buck. In game play it is used to avoid arguments over is the dealer. In home games it is natural to change dealers each hand, this isn't always the case, so the button rotates with each round.

    Ed Marlo

    This is really great. I love Vernon and I own many of his books but his creativity pails in comparison to Marlo in my opinion. There is so much to be discovered when it comes to Marlo. I perform a few of his routines.
