For the first time ever, you'll get to see legendary, underground card magician Howard Hamburg perform and teach some of his personal routines!
- Over 60 Years of Magic Experience
- Personal Friend of Dai Vernon for over 20 Years
- 8 Complete Routines described in detail
Routines Included:
Ace, 2, 3, 4: A wonderful packet trick with Aces and a kicker ending that will no one will see coming! No gaffed Cards - This is one you have to see to believe.
Rising Card: A spectator's card mysteriously rises from the middle of a deck while inside the card box. Howard's incorporates interesting touches to this effect that was originally shown to him by Tom Craven. Everything is examinded before and after the effect! This is an impromptu miracle with no gimmicks!
Magic Con Revelation: The spectator removes a group of cards from a ribbon spread deck & counts them to himself. The spectator counts down from the deck that number and remembers the card that falls at that number. The spectator than shuffles and cuts the cards (as many times as they want). The magician upon cutting the deck reveals the suit of the card and again the magician cuts the cards, looks at the card he cut to and reveals the value of the selected card. No set-up and it is self working!
Mystery Card: Two face up kings with a mystery card between them are placed on the table. The spectator is told that there will be a similarity between their freely chosen card and the mystery card. The spectator selects a card and it is lost in the deck. The spectator removes the mystery card from the table and when they turn the card over, it is found to be their card. This can even be signed! No Force!
19: Howard has an interesting twist on this old effect. The cards are shuffled by the spectator who then cuts them into two fairly equal packets and counts the cards in either pack. He is then instructed to is asked to remember the card at a certain number. The magician reviews the procedures used to arrive at their card and turns over the top card of the packet. The magician spells that card as he turns over a card for each letter and on the final letter, that card is the spectator's card.
Mystical 13: This has been a best-seller at Howard's Lectures throughout the United States and because it sells as a separate product - this is the performance only version of the effect

- Max Maven
"Card table aficionado and raconteur pretty much sums up Howard Hamburg. On a personal note though, his knowledge and friendship has been invaluable in my own growth as a student of magic and I know without a doubt his ideas have been thought out and refined and will become cherished additions to your repertoire."
- Dave Buck
