In this release, we bring you three more Bob Hummer mysteries fiendishly devised to utterly confound your audiences - two with cards and one with coins. A CLOSE-UP CARD MYSTERY offers one of Hummer's easiest and most direct methods for revealing the number of cards a spectator pockets while your back is turned. You'll be able to do this one in minutes and it works with any borrowed deck, even one with cards missing. THE WHISPERING SPIRIT was originally a marketed effect that uses a number known only to the spectator and some simple math to reveal the number of cards a spectator freely cut from the pack while you weren't looking. And finally, a rare Bob Hummer coin trick that was also one of his personal favorites...THE "SNAPPY" THIRTEEN CENT TRICK. A spectator places two nickels and three pennies upon a table in ANY arrangement. Now with your back turned, he is given the opportunity to turn over various coins at random. This is done as many times as he likes with no constraints. You then ask him to mentally select either the pennies or nickels, and silently turns over the coins in that group. Afterward he turns over more coins at random until he is completely satisfied. Even though you have no way of knowing what coins were turned over or how many times, you are able to instantly reveal whether he selected the pennies or the nickels upon turning back around! Easy to do, but a real fooler. 6 pages.
