Tucking the handkerchief into hisclosed left fist, he mutters the magic phrase, "My mot.her wasa carrot" and then waves the magic marker over the same closedhand.Of course, when he opens his greasy paw the hand-kerchief has gone bye bye. "But it hasn't gone far. You see,the cap of the marker is black like the handkerchief and so Ibet I know exactly where the hanky went!". He then removesthe cap and magically pulls the handkerchief from INSIDE thecap. Nobody asks for a refund.Effect:Method:Yep, the thumb tip IS involved. You'll also need a6-inch black silk and a marker with a black cap. To performthis sweet little interlude, have the tip on your right thumb.Introduce the marker and then neatly slip it under your leftarm ala the wand position for the cups and balls. It shouldbe sticking out from under your arm with the NON-CAP endsticking out. Now introduce the hanky and tuck it into theleft fist (really the tip!) as per the usual method.Thensmoothly swing your right hand upwards {now wearing the loadedtip} and take hold of the end of the marker.Wave the marker as if it were a magic wand (rather than afuriously hissing eel) and then deftly pull off the cap withthe left fingers (Fig .1).You are now going to seeminglyreachinside the capwith your right first finger and thumbano pullout the hank. To do so, reach into the left fist asin Figure 2, pull off the thumb tip into your left fist andpullout the silk.Figure 3 is an exposed view.Inperformance, the left fist should be almost completely closed.This will greatly add to the illuson and keep prying eyesout..1.1.To finish, hand someone the silk and remove the marker capfrom your left hand with your right first finger and thumb,loading the thumb tip back onto your right thumb as you do.Put the cap back onto the pen, pocket the pen (ditching thethumb tip as you do) and violently sneeze into the hand-kerchief as you mention something about a "nasty bout of 24-hour leprosy".A ShortFuseEffect:I ve been doing this one for a long, long time.Actually, I first put it in print back in 1986 in my lecturenotes, "Memorable Imagesll •But they've been out of print forseveral years now, so I thought it would be a good idea toinclude this hot little number in these notes.IThe Two of Clubs is selected and some idiot initials its face.Then a second card is selected, say the Ace of Clubs, and thesame idiot initials its back. The magi du jour then commentsupon an eerie magnetism that now exists between the two cards.The magnetism is so strong that, after holding the two cardstogether for a moment or two, both cards are found to havemelded into ONE CARD, a THREE of Clubs, which is of courseinitialled on both its face and its back! Neat, huh?Method:Grab a pack of cards and cull the Ace, Two and Threeof Clubs to the top of the face-down deck so that the Three ison top, the Two below, and the Ace below that. Cut the pack,keep a break, let some time go by(!)and then riffle force tothe break.Cut the three cards back to the top and do aDouble Lift to show the face of the Two. Keep a break belowthe two cards. Leaving the double face up, take hold of italong its right side in your right hand, thumb on top andfingers below. Now, just before your left hand moves away toget the marker, tilt both hands up and drag the face-up. Twoback onto the pack with the left thumb. This leaves you withthe Three in your right hand (its back towards the audience)and the Two face-up on top of the wristkilled or necktieddeck.Replace the Three back onto the pack (without flashing itsfacel) and hand someone the marker. Grab the deck betweenboth hands as in Figure 1, extend the pack towards thespectator and have them initial the corner of the pack.After they do, once again tilt the front edge of the pack upso they cannot see the Three's face, do a Double Lift (turningboth cards face-down onto the face down deck) and take off thetop face-down card into the right hand. It should be the Two.Blow on its face for a moment as if drying the ink and thentable it face-down.
