Well, I spent the last few days going through my closets and getting all my magic gear together for the first time in a decade...I also wanted to pull some easy stuff to give to, and teach, my 7 year old step-grandson...my problem is that I found several things with no documentation, and since it's been so long since I went through it all I can't remember what they were for...guess my CRS syndrome is catching up with me...

1. A deck labeled Super X Deck, with magic markings on a few of the cards, a few on faces and a few on backs...and of course, the only bit of directions I had was page 1, telling you the setup, but page 2 was missing...

2. A mini deck that sort of looks like a brainwave except all the backs are blue in stead of the usual red/blue combo...I may have made this but I can't remember what for...

Also a coin effect but I'll post that in the coins sub-forum...any help would be appreciated...thanks...Smile
While the amount of water has remained static, the amount of Tequila and Triple Sec available for making Margaritas has expanded enormously. So you see, we have made progress after all. ~Anonymous

This is how the standard BoBo's presentation of the mini Brain Wave deck was supplied 'back in the day.

Hmmm...I wonder if I saw that in Bobo's book...I'll have to check...

Probably not. It was manufactured by Haines House of Cards in Ohio.

Ahhhh...These were made by Hoyle...I did find one of Bobo's with instructions that just sold on eBay a few days ago, so I guess that's not what I have...

The Bobo routine is entitled MAKE BELIEVE with a very engaging story about the ghost of a midget magician.

For the record: Bobo's effort was based upon an idea by Frank Taylor and Greer Marechal which appeared in The Phoenix.

60 Years ago (as a kid) I purchased a card effect from Ron Haines of Haines House of Cards. It consisted of a blue deck and a red deck. Half of the red cards are roughed with the wrong color card (ace of spades is red) in front with a black ace of spades in the back. Half of each deck is like this. The other half of both decks have the correct card in front with a roughed correct card in the back. No directions and I even took it back to Haines House of Cards (still in existence) and after leaving it with them for 3 weeks they couldn't figure it out. Anyone have any knowledge of this? Thanks
