FRANK THOMPSON'S THE COLD DECK MANUSCRIPT

Frank Thompson's The Cold Deck Manuscript US $7.50 INTERMEDIATE

Frank Thompson was widely regarded as a master at creating close-up techniques and routines even though he resisted publishing much of it. This booklet was a rare exception. As the original publisher explained, "Frank Thompson's Cold Deck routine was performed at a private lecture in the Boston area. Those present were so impressed they pleaded for detailed instructions on the methods involved… Frank Thompson agreed with me to publish this in manuscript form."

The routine is basically a multiphase gambling demonstration using an ordinary deck of cards. You begin by producing the four aces from different parts of the deck. The aces are lost back in the deck with a shuffle and cut but when you deal five hands of poker your hand contains the four aces. Both you and the spectator now shuffle the cards but when five more hands of poker are dealt… Amazingly the hand of poker you are now holding is a Royal Flush. As a kicker ending the deck is cut into four packets and they are shuffled face up and face down. When the deck is ribbon spread all of the cards are now facing the same way.

FRANK THOMPSON'S THE THOMPSON PASS BOOKLET

Frank Thompson was widely regarded as a master at creating close-up techniques and was especially known for his Pass. This booklet teaches his work on the pass, specifically the "Thompson Tilt Pass." Even though this booklet was published in 1981 it was not widely distributed and was very difficult to find. As the author mentioned in the introduction, "No magician has devoted as much time and study to one move as he has given to the perfection of the pass. What follows is the distillation of thirty years of experience in testing ideas and methods in a relentless quest for perfection." Now you can learn the Frank Thompson pass the way he did it and used it to earn his reputation.
