What's the old saying? If you want to keep something hidden, put it in print. I think there's some definite truth to that statement. After all, there are SO many things being published every week in the world of magic; who could ever keep up? Well, that's where this blog comes in. Every once in awhile I will share a hidden magic gem buried away in a book that you may well have laying around at home. Of course, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling. If you come across a hidden gem in your own studies, I would love to hear about it.
The first one comes from Jack Parker's e-book Set to Kill. The trick is called "Buried Alive." The routine has a feel similar to Ryan Swigert's Kickback but without the use of gaffed cards. A video performance may be seen below.
Unfortunately, Jack's e-books are no longer available. However, his hardcover book 52 Memories is full of great material.
Nice effect, Caleb. It reminds me of how creative Jack Parker was, and it inspires me to dig out his e-books as well as "52 Memories" (which is a beautiful book, by the way).
