Next, the cards are placed back inside the card case.

With just a wave of the hand and under truly impossible conditions, the top card inside the card case visually changes into the spectator’s selection! Through the hole, the initialed card can now be seen!
Now for the final kicker! With just a shake of the card case the signed selection visually leaps right through the hole of the card case!
This amazing routine from the creative mind of Peter Eggink is eye candy of the highest caliber.
The effect comes complete with a high-quality hand-crafted card case and gimmick. Use your own deck of cards.

(4) Alpha Deck – Richard Sanders: Richard Sanders’ Alpha Deck is a three-phase miracle with a killer ending!
The spectator hands you half the deck and keeps the other half for himself. You each spread through your face down cards and you each remove any one card.
Effect 1: The chosen cards are turned over and they are the exact mates of one another...The Ace of Hearts and the Ace of diamonds.
Effect 2: The process is repeated, and this time the cards turn out to be the Ace of Clubs and the Ace of Spades. A perfect 4 of a kind! But wait, there's more!
Effect 3: The magician and the spectator each turn over the rest of the cards in their hands. They are all blank and totally examinable.
The Alpha Deck is a diabolical principle that will allow you to perform a strong 3-phase routine that will knock your spectators for a loop! Each phase builds on the last, getting stronger each time and finishing with the killer climax where all the cards are blank and examinable. No Rough and Smooth. Totally self-working. $25.00 (30.1120)
The replica Houdini Tooth is threaded onto a pair of Jay Marshall's shoelaces and tied around a silk handkerchief. You can even tie the shoelaces around the spectator's hand.

The trick includes: The Tooth, Shoelaces, Handkerchief and complete instructions along with the story of Houdini's Tooth! $29.95 (60.1723)

(7) Any Ring – Richard Sanders: From Richard Sanders, Any Ring, the revolutionary ring vanishing handkerchief!Most ring vanishing handkerchiefs can only vanish a specific ring size. This is awkward for the practical performer as you have to search for someone with the correct ring. If you can't find the correct ring then you have to skip the trick.
With Any Ring, you can vanish any size ring, from a thin Engagement Ring to the thickest Signet Band.
The spectator's ring is placed under a handkerchief and the spectator holds the ring through the cloth. The spectator feels their ring until the last second; when the spectator lets go, the ring is gone!
The borrowed ring can be made to appear anywhere you want. This is the ultimate accessory item. Bonus routine included! Don't leave home without Any Ring! $24.95 (60.1418)
(8) Psychoportation – Devin Knight: Teleport a borrowed driver's license under near impossible conditions.
Two manila envelopes are shown. Each is just large enough to hold a driver's license. Any spectator comes forward. No stooge or pre-show work. He hands you his driver's license which is placed inside one of the manila envelopes. The performer marks a large 1 on the front of the envelope. This envelope is then placed inside a larger window envelope where it is seen through the clear window. The window envelope is then clipped closed with a paper clip and finally placed inside a clear plastic bag and given to the participant to hold.
The second manila envelope is then marked with the number 2 and shown to be empty. It really is and is not gimmicked in any way. The performer then places this empty envelope inside another window envelope where it remains in full view through the clear window. The envelope is clipped closed with a paper clip and propped up on a table so the audience always sees it.
In a blink, the performer causes the driver's license to vanish from the envelope being held by the participant. He opens the envelope marked 1 and it is empty. He can examine it, as it is not gimmicked. His license has vanished.
The performer calls attention to the envelope marked 2, that is inside the window envelope that has been in full view. This envelope is given to the participant. When he opens it he finds his driver's license inside. He may examine the envelope, as it is also not gimmicked. Baffling beyond words.
Requires no skill. There is no palming and everything is done in a slow and smooth manner. No extra gimmicks, nothing used but the envelopes. The method will amaze you, so clever, yet so easy.
Comes complete with envelopes and detailed direction in the usual Devin Knight style.
