Ron Bauer's Private Studies Vol. 09 - Fair and Sloppy - Book

This is a whimsically convincing Triumph-type effect without resorting to Riffle Shuffles or excessive cutting.

Due to the willingness of certain spiteful spectators to take advantage of their magician, you illustrate the value of your magic teacher's admonition that it's always wiser to cut the cards instead of classes. Learn how to turn Ed Marlo's Convincing Control and Sid Lorraine's Slop Shuffle into totally believable illusions.
