New Ideas with Slates
by U. F. Grant and H. Adrian Smith
(Formerly titled "Flap Slate Wrinkles")
Edited by T. A. Whitney
Breathe new life into those spirit slates you likely already have in your magic closet with these fine routines.
Grant and Smith team up to present a pleasing assortment of effects that will boggle the eyes of lay audiences... and magicians, too!
And not just mentalism and séance effects, but general magic, too, can be performed with a set of spirit slates.
Also of note is the Miracle Slate, which duplicates the effect of a Baker-type slate where numbers from the audience are gathered and added. It's the only miracle slate that can be passed for thorough examination since it's unprepared! No exchange of slates, and the numbers written on one side only.
We should also mention the fun you'll have with the Three Card Monte effect, that lets you use your spirit slates instead of the expensive dealer jumbo card outfit. Your audience will delight in matching wits with you, as they chase the Ace, which is never where they think it is. And of course, the Ace is always under your control!
And that's just a few of the entertaining routines you'll find in the book.
For this new edition, 32 new illustrations were commissioned, plus text edits and additions made by mentalist T. A. Whitney.
