Someone notes a card and shuffles it back into the deck. She next takes seven indifferent cards, keeps them hidden and calls their names to the magician; but for one of the indifferent cards she calls the name of 57 the card she selected.

After the audience has become convinced that the performer has failed to 67 fnd a selected card, he manages to save the situa- tion in a surprising and amusing way. Te Fingerprint.

Neverthe- 111 less, the magician is able to fnd both spectators’ cards in an astonishing manner. In the Hands.

In spite of 118 these impossible conditions, the magician is able to locate both noted cards. R o b e r t o G i o b b i Back to the Future. Te magician transports him- self into the future, memorizes what happens there, returns to the past, and then predicts the 122 occurrence in the present: a confusing story with a clear efect. Routine 7 127 Manto. Te magician writes a prediction and places it inside the card case, which a spectator guards. An audience member and the performer mix the cards face up into face down, throwing the deck 129 into a chaotic condition. Nonetheless, the predic- tion states how many cards lie face up and how many of those are black and how many red! Vernon’s Miracle.
