FAB Magic Shop (fabmagic.com) has occasional sales on their Magic Instruction Sheet downloads, but they don't provide any details of what those instructions are. In my experience, they come in several types:
a. Short general information about a particular prop - mostly only of use if you own that prop.
b. Detailed information and routine around a prop - useful if you own the prop and sometimes even if you don't as the prop may be obtainable today or could be put together DIY.
c. Booklet or routine with a regular deck of cards or other common items.

You can't always tell by the title, so I've put together the following list of instruction sheets that I've purchased over the years so they might help you. Also, some of the downloads are of poor quality and very hard to read, while others are excellent.

Please add to this list if you've bought any FAB Magic instruction sheets - I'm hesitant to buy any of the others without knowing more about the quality & extent!

Abbott's Hole In One: one page instruction for a tray, balls and glasses prop. Only useful if you have the prop.

Alan, Don: Don Alan's Bowl Routine: 4 pages, illustrated. Complete routine. First and third page have dark smudges, but most of the text is readable. You can gather the props needed.

Alan, Don: Lippincott's quarter Go. 1 pages, plus another page of ads. Detailed routine, useful if you own the box.

Allen, Ken: Quick as a Wink: 1 page instruction sheet for a coins and silk pulled through a glass, uses a slotted glass

Chop Chop's One Cup and Ball Routine. 2 pages for use with a chop cup.

Gordon, Gene: Chain With a Brain. A loopy-loop 2 page routine.

Grant, U.F. & Jimmy King: Utility Liquid Glass. Brief 1 page description of the glass and about six ideas for its use. You may have a similar glass in your collection.

Grant, U.F.: Tricks With a Bottomless Glass. 1944 E.O Drane. 4 pages printed sideways. 25 ideas, good.

Hamman, Brother John: The Blushing Joker. 2 page instructions using a gimmicked card.

Hudson, Walt: Saturday's Kid Show. Full 30 page book, nicely scanned.

Jaks, Stanley: The Four Blacks. two pages, 2nd page is hard to read.

Jepson, Bob: Egg Bag Routine: 4 page. Some pages scanned crooked.

Meyer, Jamison: 13 Jumbo Card Effects. Full booklet, 17 pages.

National Magic Co: Mysterious Cups and Balls. 3 pages, diagrammed. A cups and balls routine

National Magic: Improbability. 3 page instruction. Card with hole in center passes through a tube in a card frame. Mostly useful if you have the apparatus, but interesting enough to read about.

Ovette, Joseph: Gambler's Paradise. Full booklet, 12 pages. Small-sized pages scanned into larger PDF pages, several pages are crooked, but scans are clear. Original had holes punched in for storage in a notebook. Card routines with a gambling theme.

P&L Magician's Coffee Cup. Just 1 short paragraph instruction. Useful only if you have the prop.

Sam the Name Game. One page instructions only for this gimmicked deck. It does not explain the workings but can be figured out if you're familiar with trick deck principles. Chosen card is the only one with the name "Sam" on the back. All others have different names.

Schwartzman, Howie: The Big Bill Switch. One page, routine to switch a $5 and $1 with spectator. You can make your own special bill.

Spence, Jim: Miracle With a Pop Eyed Popper Deck. 17 pages for this rough-&-smooth deck

Stanley, Harry: High Ball cup: two pages. Chop cup routine.

Stanley, Harry: Hold That Tiger! 2 page instructions for a children's show magic prop. Mostly useful only if you own the prop. Scan is crooked and has some smears, but is readable. Not Illustrated.

Supreme Magic Space Trek: 7 pages, scanned crooked but clear text. This is instructions and routine for a Run-Rabbit-Run type prop set up using space ships instead of rabbits. Probably only of interest if you own the prop or want to modify your rabbit set.

Supreme Magic: Questionable Arthur Carter. 3 1/2 pages instructions for a Jumbo card predication effect. Likely enough info to make your own.

Tanner's Six Card Mental Test - Jumbo. 1 page. Prediction in hat matches one of six selected cards. Gimmicked

Tel-a-Color Cards - Merit Enterprises. One page instruction sheet describes the one-way principle used to detect which card selected. Method is useful.

Torre, Jose de la: The Nose Knows. 4 pages instruction uses a gimmicked deck. Pages are scanned crooked but readable. Useful but you'd have to build your own deck.

Trost, Nick: Quadraplex. Nice double card prediction. You could make.

Trost, Nick: Twisting the Aces: 2 page routine uses a gimmicked card

Walton, Roy: Cascade. 4 pages. card effect.
