Routines performed and explained:
►Queenie, The Amazing Dancing Girl: A fast paced Three Card Monte type routine where the money card is all over the place, but never where you expect it.

►Spec Deck: A funny routine where a selected card is found through the markings it develops on its back.
►The Stampede Second: A second dealing demonstration where a postage stamp is placed on the top card of the deck and the cards beneath it are visually dealt off the deck. When you stop the stamp is found permanently adhered to a previously selected card.
►Dice Propagation: A routine using three dice and a dice cup where the dice vanish, appear, shrink, change color, expand and finally multiply to fill the table with dice.
►Spelling Collins' Aces: The four aces vanish from four different packets of cards. The cards are gathered and the aces are found by spelling to them.
►Point of Arrival: Two cards are selected and signed. Ten cards are wrapped in a handkerchief and held by a spectator. The two selections vanish from the deck and appear inside the handkerchief.
