  • Cartesian Coins - Four coins in a magical manner.
  • Forgery - An "X" drawn on the back of a card is transported onto others cards and various places, multiplying itself on another surface to make two "X"s at the end.

  • HPC-CPH No. 1 - A form of the Han Ping Chien with new applications.
  • The Red Prediction - A "Red Hot Mamma" variation, where a signed card is predicted by an odd backed card with the word "Prediction" written on the back, then the signature flies onto the prediction card.
  • Claustrophobic Coins - A copper/silver transposition with a climax of the coins appearing in a card case.
  • Clue - An entire signed card routine based off the board game Clue.
  • HPC-CPH No. 2 - Another version of the first HPC-CPH.
  • Underwraps - A marked quarter and a small coin purse change places several times ending with the marked quarter vanishing and reappearing inside the coin purse.
  • Bill Fusion - Two borrow bills are crumpled up into balls become "fused" together", and when they are unraveled, they have formed one $2 bill.
  • Invisible Companion - An ungaffed version of Dai Vernon's "Brainwave".

  • Bridging the Gap - Coins in one hand magically pass through a clear tube they cannot fit in and pass to the other hand where they are normal and properly sized.
  • Only In Self Defense - Cards are chosen by a spectator. An indifferent card is thrusted into the pack landing straight between the chosen one.
  • The Copper Clutch - A routine done with Jay's HPC-CPH and a deck rubberbanded into a triangular formation in place of a cup.
  • Floater - A sight gag where a full deck adheres itself to your index finger for a moment or two!
  • Split Ends - A card stab routine where the stab card not only locates a chosen card but embeds itself in the layers of the card.
  • The Money That Cannot Be Spent - A signed coin finds its way from the magician's hands back into the spectator's possession. It contains a method for obtaining a duplicate coin signed by a spectator.
  • Memory Ink - A coin is signed by a spectator and the mark is shown to be wiped off onto a small piece of paper when it is not given time to dry. The paper is balled up and placed on top of the quarter. It is lit on fire and vanished in a flare of flame and light only to have the spectator's mark reappear on that very same coin.
  • Melt Down - The foil wrapping of a deck of cards rewraps itself around the deck using a bit of heat.
  • The Four Dimensional Coin - A coin is visibly pushed through the surface of a dollar bill.
