best way topresent it.A mirror is useful when rehearsing.If youcan't see what's going on in your own reflection thenthere's a good chance your poor victims will be takenin,too.  \nSo many young magicians and tricksters ruin theirillusions by telling their friends how they are done.Don't do it!Even if they beg and bribe you.Once thesecret of a trick is out,it's dead-and you can neverdo it again.  \n# ◆ Once,and Once Only◆\n\nNever repeat a trick.Nine times out of ten,if a trickworks beautifully,you will be asked to do it again.Ifyou agree,it will give your audience another chance towork out how you did it.  \n# Be Original◆\n\nThe tricks in this book are only guidelines.If youwant to change them and make them your own,feelfree.Most of the great new tricks are variations of oldones.Even the great illusions that you sometimes seeon television are often just large-scale adaptations ofsimple tricks like the ones in this book.  \n◆This trick involves employing an assistant(preferablynon-paid)who knows exactly what you're up to.Tellyour audience that you've learned to mind-read,andask three of them to pick a card.When they havelooked carefully at their cards and remembered them,offer the pack so they can return them.  \n◆Now bring in your assistant and hand her your cards.Pass on your magical powers to her with a wave of thewand over her head.She willnow,miraculously,beable to pick the three cards from the pack.  \n◆This is a nice easy trick.Before offering the packback to your audience toreplace their cards,turnthe pack over secretly.  \n◆When they put theircards back it will look as ifthe pack is face down.When your assistantsearches the pack,it wilbe simple to pick out the'newcomers'.Tell her tomake sure no-one can seethe cards-otherwise thetrick's blown.","cbCaickFFhtVkdKL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaickFFhtVkdKL","pdf",2955992,44,"English","# ◆Practice Makes Perfect◆\n## ◆ Once,and Once Only◆\n## Be
