The Wave of the Hand – J. Stewart Smith

J. Stewart Smith's sought-after third book of card magic includes The Prediction – his streamlined handling for Bill Simon's "Touch, Re-touched," which was itself based upon Paul Curry's popular "Touch" without the need for a special deck. Harry Riser was so impressed by Smith's version after seeing it, he based his own handling upon it. Plus, five more subtle Smith effects: Our Cards, The Ascent of the Black Fours, A Restoration, A Triple Alliance, and The Four Aces. As with other Smith-crafted effects, the Magic just seems to happen. 18 pages, larger format, re-typeset.
