He invented commercially available tricks like Sharpshooter (a version of Alan Alan's routine wherein a realistic-looking toy gun is fired at a deck of cards, whereupon a previously chosen card in the middle of the deck is now seen to have a bullet hole in its center), and Cereal Killer, a trick with cereal-box covers based on Billy McComb's McCombical Prediction and Don Wayne's Top Ten.
