A card routine reprinted in Art of Astonishment Vol 2 by Paul Harris (1996). Originally appeared as a manuscript in 1977. This routine was the progenitor to Harris's better-known (and much improved) approach to the Linking Cards plot, The Immaculate Connection, which was published in 1983 as part of Tannen's New Stars of Magic series, and performed by David Copperfield on national television.
