Book of card tricks by Cushing Strout that require prearrangement, virtually no sleight of hand, and lend themselves to rich storylines. Subtitled Prearrangement and Plot in Close-Up Card Magic, the plots include predictions and revelations based on zodiac signs, a spectator's birthday, a do-it-yourself murder mystery, and lie detection, with some of the routines making use of unusual decks, such as Tarot cards and Alice-in-Wonderland cards. Softbound, 48 pages, published in 2005 by I Saw That!.
