John Hostler - Cryptical Envelopment

John Hostler's muse has struck again. On the heels of his controversial Rauschenberg Effect, the delightfully reclusive Magical Curmudgeon has unleashed five powerful pieces of close-up magic in Cryptical Envelopment. This newly-formatted, 41-page e-book features…
New Speedway Boogie – A slash-and-burn approach to the classic four card assembly, with a virtually moveless backfire. Magicians will scratch their heads.
Bertha – The first name (yes, the first name) of a mentally selected card is successfully predicted in mind-bending fashion. A distant cousin of Fred, Oscar, and Phil.
Alligator – A stunning, rapid-fire demonstration of precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance with a standard pack of playing cards.
Estimated Prophet – Aronson's Shuffle-Bored masterpiece stripped to its core… with a borrowed deck.
Cryptical Envelopment – The book's centerpiece, featuring the Slipknot Deck. In short, a spectator is thoroughly convinced that you have altered his or her memory.
Hostler's material rarely sees print, and he has been known to pull electronic publications from virtual shelves. Order this now.
"From start to finish this is an intelligent, thoughtfully crafted book drawing on a range of performance skills to create effects that will make a big impact and be remembered." [5 Stars] - Stuart Bowie, MagicSeen

"Highly recommended." - Tom Frame, Genii Forum
"Most of the stuff we add to the welter are useful footnotes and marginalia worth more than a few casual mental-tumbles and academic spinoffs. However, the feature routine should give fellow travelers a run for whatever money is left in their pockets. I really, really liked it... some might say I was wholly smitten." - [url=]Jon Racherbaumer[/url]
