HANDS ACROSS THE TABLE by RICHARD POLLACK
Reprint of the introduction by Fr. Cyprian... It is with great pleasure and pride that I introduce Richard ('Rich") Pollack to you. Rich was a magic student of mine for two years. The greatest joy for any teacher is to see a former student thinking on his own and standing on his own two feet. Rich does just that. He is a young man who knows his own mind when it comes to magic. He spends hours perfecting his routines; and gives careful thought to every item he masters. And "masters" is the word. Rich does not dabble. He works hard on his magic and displays it with a neatness and grace that make it most pleasing to the eye.
This is his first lecture. He has gathered together ten items that offer us an insight into his thinking on close-up magic. The words "take a card, please" that so often summon us to boredom take on new meaning with Rich. Here are effects wherein the invitation "take a card, please" serves as the entree to truly magical happenings. "Torn Traveler" should convince you of that. So, sit back and enjoy the magic of Rich Pollack.

LARRY JENNINGS' NEOCLASSICS by STEPHEN MINCH
The three tricks that constitute this booklet are special in several ways. All three are founded upon classic plots: The Card in Orange, Spectator Finds the Aces, and Cards Across. Larry Jennings has taken these plots and embellished them in some way that harmonizes with their original premises, while enhancing the magical qualities already so strong in each.
The material in these pages sums to something more than just tricks. There is genuine theater in these constructions. There is also the exceptional craftsmanship for which Mr. Jennings was so well recognized.
Moreover, within the structures of these pieces, there have been worked lessons on expert card handling and presentation that have wide utility. Should you never perform one of these tricks (an unhappy thought), you will come away nonetheless with knowledge that will improve your general performance.
These three tricks are prized possessions, tricks that Mr. Jennings held in reserve for his exclusive use. Now they are yours as well.
