Things That Go Bump In The Night is a set of super high quality printed lecture notes with full color hi-res photos that feature inside advice on using a punch to mark and control cards: how to put in the work, the best place to apply/hide the work, how to detect the work with confidence, where to obtain a quality punch. Also included is a very ‘inside baseball’ method of building an indetectable body-worn punch that has been used by pro thieves.
The booklet was written for an exclusive workshop at a recent conference and also includes detailed explanations of seven effects, with variant handlings:
“Darwin Ortiz’s Raw Deal” (includes lots of expanded detail and presentational tips)
“Darwin’s Out for Raw Deal”
“Darwin’s Gamber’s Stop Trick”
“Things That Go Bump In The Night”
“Combination Deal” (with Hai Trung Ho)
“Combination Poker”
“The Double Tough Poker Deal”
Rounding out the booklet is a short essay featuring observations about Walter Scott, the notorious “Phantom of the Card Table”, drawn from interviews/conversations with three card cheats, Darwin Ortiz and Dai Vernon.
‘If you study this work and perform any of the tricks thoroughly explained in its pages, it will crush the minds of your audience. And if that audience includes magicians — it will crush their souls.’
- Jamy Ian Swiss
‘Things That Go Bump in the night is a fantastic addition to any card man’s library. This is a brilliantly written treatise about a method of cheating that few card men know anything about. Wimhurst took the time to include dozens of four-color photographs which make learning the techniques and routines so much easier. I cannot recommend this book enough.’
- James Swain
‘In a world where so few strive for excellence, it’s refreshing to read the brilliant works of my good friend Andrew Wimhurst: a true expert in the craft of cheating at cards.’
- Jason Ladanye
A4 format
60 gloss pages on heavy stock
