These tricks stick with the original versions too closely for me.
It's interesting to see
the device used for Alan Alan's rising card trick, but I'll never use it because a simpler method
now exists (the one invented by Yigal Mesika).
The card box trick uses a box type that
isn't used any more. It could be updated using greeting cards or bank cheques, where those boxes are
still used, but it isn't done here.
I like Tony Noice's card transposition. It makes a card
go from your fingers into the middle of a deck backwards. I'll practice it.
The Hindu
Forces section goes over the modern, better way to do the Hindu force.
If you like the
group mathematical tricks, I suggest looking up Woody Aragon's "How to find your other half" which
is on the Penguin Live Super Sampler among other places.
