Sam the Bellhop (or The Saga of Sam the Bellhop) is a story telling trick using the deck of cards (ala Soldier's Prayer Book).

It was popularized by Frank Everhart and was the first trick he learned (although it didn't really include any magic). He sold his version through the Ireland Magic Co. (ca. 1961).

Bill Malone made it a bit more magical by including false shuffles and cuts[1].
