Where it all leads:
The card she stops on matches your prediction! Inexplicable Mental Magic! All Out Magic is a book of hands-off mental card magic you will use! You will find 42 pages with killer material, complete with some handy props to get the job done.
“This has some genius thinking! Steve masterfully combines two very deceptive principles to create totally impenetrable mysteries that happen in the participant’s own hands. This is super strong mentalism with cards that is impossible to back track as the methods cancel each other out to create ‘perfect’ effects. Everything is so fair, because it is! This is one of the most interesting books on ‘hands off’ card magic that I’ve seen in a long time. Highly recommended.” – Marc Paul
A regular deck is examined, mixed and handed to the participant. She deals the cards face-up, and stops whenever she wants. A second boxed deck, on the table the entire time, is immediately ribbon-spread. A single card is seen to have an “X” on its edge. It matches the card she freely dealt to! Once in her hands, the performer never touches the deck! Just you, and two decks. THAT’S ALL! Or a single face-up card is in the spread. It matches her card! IT COULDN’T BE MORE FAIR! It could be a premonition in an envelope on the table, or in your wallet, or in a participant’s hands or pocket the entire time.
BONUS:
My favorite, the Birthday Card Trick, is fully explained! It can feel so personal to your participant, the experience becomes emotional! Use this effect for any anniversary – creating an unforgettable moment: A small, examinable twelve-page booklet lists a different card for each day. She will be shocked when she looks up her own “birthday card,” and it is the only one that matches the card she randomly dealt to! Unique method! A trick requiring a skill you may already have, it will inspire you to push your mental magic further!

There are hard hitting and well thought out routines, audience management advice, and concepts that can travel and apply far beyond what is presented in the book.

Steve Shufton’s All Out Magic is a perfect example of this. The book contains a number of effects and methods for doing them. Steve goes into great detail to explain his thoughts and give alternate methods to accomplish the end result. I found the book to be an interesting read.

If Mentalism and Magic with playing cards is your thing, I recommend this book.” – Richard Osterlind
