Silent Evidence

Author/Originator: J. Stewart Smith

More nearly self-working J. Stewart Smith card magic. If you'll allow us to paraphrase Fred Braue's review of this booklet when it was first released: If you're not familiar Mr. Smith, his material is as faultlessly worked out as any card tricks you've ever seen. His approach is always direct and there is no evidence of sleight-of-hand even when a most natural "move" is required. You seem to be handling the pack ONLY to display on the table the cards that will be used, and each step is easy for the spectator to follow. These are essentially "table tricks," and as such will appeal to the close-up worker. The nine effects in this 1965 booklet: Above and Beyond, Incredible Touch, A Moment in Magic, A Hidden Might in Magic, Beyond Doubt, Similar Testimony, An Invisible Event, A Grim Undoing, and The Spirit of Unreality, will give you some idea of the material explained. The overarching theme being - mysterious, unseen forces are at work controlling the pasteboards in uncanny ways. 100% practical, easy to do, 23 pages, re-typeset.
