If you're smart enough to use Gaetan Bloom's Intercessor, show visitors to your home during the holiday season a topical trick.
Their card appears not in a borrowed cigarette (not politically correct any more), but inside a Christmas ball. It's easy to remove the top part of a ball, insert a rolled up card and replace it before they arrive. When their card vanishes, you unhook a bright red ornament, from the tree, smash it open and the card is inside. (The Christmas ball reappearance is a Milbourne Christofer idea) Even if there are other methods for the torn corner as a way of identifying a card, Gaetan Bloom's Intercessor is unarguably the best tool for impossible transpositions.

How about inside a freely chosen Christmas Cracker as an alternative?

Excellent idea which can be combined with taking and replacing lights on the tree (using D'Lites)! Lynn

Brilliant! I think I have found my Christmas party ice breaker (I have new colleagues...!).
Thanks. |

This could be great! It would be especially excellent if you put one in each ornament on your tree.
Long time lurker here, finally come out of hiding because I WILL use this! A-S-M |

I love Dan Garrett's handling of it.

I have many Christmas trees and one, of course, is a magic Christmas tree!
Thank you so much Lawrence for sharing the revelation of a selection inside a Christmas ornament. Merry Christmas, T. G. Murphy |

Dan Garrett has a presentation for Gaetan's Intercessor in his lecture notes.
I've seen him perform it at his Lectures.
