CARD MAGIC
Four cards are shown and then turned face down. Three of the cards are alike and one is different. The fun begins when the audience tries to pick out the different card. They never do, but they think they see how the trick is done. Finally the different card is seen to have disappeared and is reproduced from the magician’s pocket.

10.00LUSTHAUS CARD SYSTEM by BOB LUSTHAUS AND JERRY SOMERDIN
Why another card stack system? We have Nikola, Si Stebbins, Eight Kings, Simon Aaronson, John Cornelius, Richard Osterlind Systems, etc. Each is fantastic, yet each has shortcomings. In some, there is the need for concentrated memory, while others need complicated mathematics and calculations during the performance.
Bob Lusthaus has created a simple and wonderful card system that does not require mathematics or memorization. The performer can now concentrate on his presentations rather than on memory recall or mathematical computation. This system is easily mastered in just a few minutes and will not be forgotten.
If a spectator names any card, you will instantly know its location in the deck. Conversely, if the spectator names any number from 1 to 52, you will instantly know the name of the card at that location.
The booklet also contains six effects to use with this system and a special gimmick to be used with one of the effects. All six effects will fool even magicians familiar with card systems. Ideas on the handling of a card system are also included.

The magician puts a packet of cards on the table. He says to the spectator, "Let's play a game of imagination. Imagine that these are four queens. "He pantomimes plucking a card with each hand from the packet. "Imagine that I have removed two of the queens. Do you think that they are black ones or red ones?" The spectator says for example, "red". "That's amazing - you're correct," says the magician. "Now, I will turn one of these queens face-up."
He pantomimes turning one card over, then putting the imaginary cards back into the packet. He then says, "Which red queen do you think I turned over, the heart or the diamond?" The spectator says for example, diamond. "That's amazing - you're correct again," says the magician. "Of course, if it is really true then the queen of diamonds must be reversed in the packet. Let's see..." He spreads the cards. One is face up. It is the queen of diamonds.
"I want you to be sure that this magic was accomplished by imagination, not sleight-of-hand. Therefore I used a queen of diamonds with a different back." He turns over the queen of diamonds, showing that it has a contrasting back color. "Also because I knew you would pick the queen of diamonds, It was not necessary to use any printing on the faces of the other cards." He turns over the three face-down cards, revealing that the faces are blank.
This is exactly how the effect is described! This is exactly how the effect works! Don't miss this GREAT packet effect from this FANTASTIC magician, Phil Goldstein (Max Maven).
