Second Edition 

"The Wild Card is the most miraculous packet trick of this century. It is exceptionally easy to understand and is forthrightly eye-arresting. Whenever an effect creates wide-spread excitement and stimulates tons of variations, it has the earmarks of becoming a popular classic."

The WILD CARD KIT is experimental and practical. Instead of explaining dozens of handlings and presentations, it supplies a preparatory course in what constitutes the Wild Card effect, what is fundamentally essential and important, and gives you the ways and means to create your own routines. 

Every effect, presentation, story, novel, play, or film has a beginning, middle, and end. This is structurally sound. The Wild Card effect should have the same structure. THE WILD CARD KIT takes this into account and provides vital materials. It's divided into three parts: TOOLS, MIDDLE GAMING, and MAIN EVENTS. Each consists of modular parts. 

Part One shows ways to display the cards at the beginning. There are three ways to perform the classic Glide, plus the Hamman and Veeser Counts. 

Part Two shows unique and visually convincing ways to change the cards, ranging from the Scoop Switch to six ways to change three cards. 

Part Three features TAMING THE WILD CARD, a powerful, nonsleight version that will delight dealers and magicians who don't practice sleight-of-hand. This was a sell-out during Jon Racherbaumer's European Lecture Tour. Plus there are great versions by Marlo, Flip, Corvello, Paul Diamond, Robert Walker, and others. Also included is Milt Kort's Select Bibliography on the Wild Card. 

After you read THE WILD CARD KIT and begin experimenting, you will have everything you need to know about this century's seminal packet trick.
