A Further Collection of Impromptu, Sleightless, Mathematical Tricks
Nick Conticello is proud to present the third and final installment of the Potpourri series. Herewith is another collection of impromptu, sleightless, mathematical effects with cards. Each book has a theme, and this one is no exception. The entire ebook is devoted to what Nick calls the Australian Shuffle. (You may refer to it as the Down/Under Deal.)
The present work is concerned with three placement concepts. George Sands devised one in the mid-Twentieth Century. Nick published the second in Tarbell 7, and he is releasing a totally new idea in this ebook. All but one of the effects is hands-off, meaning they can be performed face-to-face or by any means of telecommunication.
