The Living End - JG Thompson Jr.
DESCRIPTION

“If a magician knows a hundred ways of locating a card that a spectator has chosen, and only one way of revealing it, the effect to the audience is that the magician knows only one card trick. On the other hand, if the magician knows one way of finding a card and a hundred ways of revealing it, the effect is that he knows a hundred tricks.” - Bruce Elliott (quoting Thompson)
