Magic Tricks

These tricks stick with the original versions too closely for me.

It's interesting to see the device used for Alan Alan's rising card trick, but I'll never use it because a simpler method now exists (the one invented by Yigal Mesika).

The card box trick uses a box type that isn't used any more. It could be updated using greeting cards or bank cheques, where those boxes are still used, but it isn't done here.

I like Tony Noice's card transposition. It makes a card go from your fingers into the middle of a deck backwards. I'll practice it.

The Hindu Forces section goes over the modern, better way to do the Hindu force.

If you like the group mathematical tricks, I suggest looking up Woody Aragon's "How to find your other half" which is on the Penguin Live Super Sampler among other places.
