RELAXED IMPOSSIBILITIES - Ken Krenzel
Ken Krenzels kortmagi baseres stort set udelukkende på fingerfærdighed og denne bogs første 114 sider omhandler da også kun håndgreb. Hvert af ialt 15 greb gennemgåes grundigt og i flere tilfælde forstår Krenzel at simplificere dem. Blandt andet kan fremhæves "The Inertial Top Change", som mange fremhæver som mere forbløffende end en almindelig heldigt udført top change.
Herefter følger tre kapitler med ialt 15 rutiner, bl.a. disse:
FACIAL - A Wild-Card printing effect like no other. Four blank-faced cards magically duplicate the face of a selected random card. Each transformation is visual and instantaneous, all the cards are inspected before and afterward, and with each performance a different card is duplicated.
FAN WORLD - A new approach to the Out-of-This-World effect in which the deck may be shuffled at any point during the procedure, you do not look at the faces of the cards, the duration of the test may be as short or as long as wished, there are no packet exchanges and only two pilesone red, one blackare formed. Yet, you have complete control over a spectator's ability to correctly guess the color of each card.
STRANGE HUMMER - Anyone shuffles the deck (which may be borrowed), deals off ten random cards and mixes them face up and face down under the table, where no one can see what is being done. The mixing procedure becomes more and more random, until everyone, including fellow magicians, must admit you have no control over it. While the packet is still out of sight under the table, you announce the number of cards that are face up and face down, which proves to be correct. You also point out that the spectator has mysteriously separated the red cards from the blacks!
AUTOMACAAN - The Any-Card-at-Any-Number effect is given three new treatments, including one in which the deck may be borrowed and you never touch the cards. The spectator does everything. This trick may even be performed over the telephonea genuine and exciting breakthrough in both method and effect.
