The tricks use ideas from the likes of Stewart James, Jim Steinmeyer, Jack Avis, Alex Elmsley, Henry Christ, Aldo Colombini, and many more.The trick plots are multiple and varied. There are predictions, revelation, and forces based on zodiac signs, a spectator&amp;#39;s birthday, a do-it-yourself murder mystery, fortune-telling, lie detection and more. There are interesting variations on tricks such as &amp;quot;Further than that&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;the Lie Detector, &amp;quot; &amp;quot;the Clock Trick,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The dead man&amp;#39;s hand&amp;quot; and other classics.
