BLOCKBUSTER by BECKER AND EARLE
The Memo Card Wallet that does it all! You begin by asking three or four persons each to write triple-digit numbers on a 3x5 inch file card in an elegant leather, quality memo wallet. A final person adds the column of numbers and is then asked to open a sealed envelope given to him before the show. Inside is another index card, predicting that the total will match his birth year - and admits it does! You go on to reveal not only his proper astrology symbol, but also his full birth month and day!
But wait, there's more! You can play a game of "word linking" with a participant, in which he visualizes an object that he associates with a singe word that exists only in his mind. He writes nothing down but merely imagines holding a tiny model of that object, hidden in his cupped hands. When he allows you to peek inside, you describe his imaginary item perfectly!
Hold on! There is yet another presentation! Audience members enter random letters in a 5x5 grid (pre-drawn on the file card) and pass the wallet and pen along fro other participants to do the same. When the grid is filled, the next participant plays " word search, " scanning the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines of letters to circle any combination of letters that form a word. He imagines that word - you reveal it!
Hold on! We're still not through! As a bonus, you get a diabolic secret gimmick (some dealers sell similar items for upwards of $30 or more!) that will allow you to do miracles with only seconds of pre-show time invested.
Blockbuster can also be used to provide a killer crib-sheet for psuedo-graphology "analysis," book tests with unprepared books, and MCs - as well as a utility wallet for countless other applications.

What People Are Saying
"Sean Fields has come up with a bill switch with visual WHAM. This open-air effect turns a magicians' hand into a state-of -the-art printing press. Practical and clever - well done." - David Regal
"Unless you can do real magic I doubt that you'll make a bill change look more magical that this! A stunning piece of visual magic that completely fooled me!" - Simon Lovell
"I love it...it looks like real magic." - Nathan Kranzo
"I saw a video of Sean's effect 'The Infinity Switch'. I really can't call it a switch if that's what it was. It reminded me of the old color changing silks, which is done with gimmicked silks, but this was real currency which he could hand out. You'd never think 'how did he switch that' You think 'lemme see that bill!,' and he would hand it to you. Very cool Sean!" - Dan Sylvester

PRACTICAL CARD PALMING by BOB WHITE
"In my experience, I have found most magicians feel terribly self0concious palming cards when performing before an audience. This is perfectly normal, and we have all experienced it at one time or another. For the largest part, this fear can be overcome if a performer has confidence in his methods. This volume contains the most practical techniques and management for palming cards. Anyone can study these explanations and learn to palm cards from the pack with complete confidence under any performing conditions." - Bob White
