MAYHEM What Women Want

teve Mayhew has been a widely respected and  groundbreaking close-up performer for many years. His presentations and  magic have long been recognized for their pronounced originality, by  those who have seen him perform and who have read the few of his tricks  that have appeared in hard-to-get publications. Mayhew's material is  being performed by some of the world's most respected card magicians.  All those tricks and many previously unpublished ones are collected  here, in their newest forms, many with full presentations: six generous  chapters of card tricks, gambling routines and sleights.

Included:

Freedom-
Face-up  cards are unquestionably shuffled into face-down ones. You then proceed  to deal all the face-up cards rapidly from the deck, finishing with the  four Aces and leaving only the face-down cards undealt. This one went  into the repertoires of top pros as soon as it was published.

Hungry Now-
The  red Aces are buried in the deck. A freely selected card is then cleanly  dropped onto the pack, upon which the red Aces instantly appear there  and trap the selection between them a feat so visually striking and  physically demanding, even Dan and Dave Buck were impressed.

Wet or Black?-
A  spectator cuts the deck into eight piles while answering several  intimate questions. The last question is "Red or black?" He answers.  When the top card of each of his eight piles is turned up, it matches  his freely named color!

Das Kapital-
A  0 Bill Switch routine that gives fresh meaning to the idea of throwing  money away, at the cost of only  and a few red carnations per show. Many  consider this the finest and funniest Bill Switch routine ever  conceived.
