INSIDE STREET MAGIC by MICHAEL RUBINSTEIN
This booklet is not designed to be the definitive work on the "how-to" of Street Magic, but is instead designed to provide a series of guidelines to the novice so that he can develop his own show according to his own style and presentation. In addition to these guidelines, the author has related some of his personal experiences doing magic on the streets of New York, and have offered several useful tips so that the beginner will not run into the same problems that he did when starting out.
If you're going to do street magic this book, which is thirty-three pages in length is a must.

CARDBOARD CONTORTIONISTS by JAY SANKEY
When Paul Harris mentions meeting "a young magician" who showed him the independently developed idea of using two folded cards as a fake (in his "Immaculate Connection," THE NEW STARS OF MAGIC Volume 2, Number 1), he was talking about Jay Sankey. Jay, however, doesn't use that principle for linking cards together. Instead, he does a double torn and restored card routine.
Two cards are freely selected and signed by spectators. The cards are openly torn into quarters. The spectators actually see the magician count the separate quarters. Yet, in an instant, both cards are fully restored and given out for examination. Nothing is added or taken away! Any cards can be used and they are not prepared in any way! They can look all they want for the gaff, they won't find it .... because there is none to find!
This little book of eight well illustrated pages explains exactly how to do this effect. It is one of the most dynamic principles you will ever learn.
