    I have noticed over the years that there are two hidden methods that fool me more that any other. Thread and math. Of course, the methods must be disguised and often wrapped with subtleties.

    And one of those methods was used to fool me again. This time by Astor and his latest release, Hidden Cash.

    I walked up to his booth at the SAM Convention to see what’s new and he showed me something that seemed so simple.

    He showed me three plastic sleeves that are a little larger than a US bill and a $20 bill. He turned around and had me put the bill in any of the sleeves. Then I switched the two other sleeves and turned everything face down. As soon as he turned around, he picked and eliminated one of the empty sleeves. So far, I was familiar with the principle involved.

    But then he told me to take the two remaining sleeves and mix them up behind my back and bring them forward when I was done. He still knew which sleeve was empty and which had the money.

    Even though I was familiar with what was happening I could not backtrack the second phase. And I put the bill in the worst possible outcome. If I put it in the middle a miracle would have occurred.

    I immediately said you could present it as a reverse monte routine where if you can’t find the money, they get to keep it. Of course, you don’t want to tell them that upfront since they will try to mess you up.

    But there are a lot of possibilities with this. The main routine taught has you using three different bills and you tell them which one is where.

    The price might seem high based on what you are getting but Astor is an expert with the manufacture of plastics and if someone else had to make the sleeves it would cost much more.

    The above was written before I got a text from Astor explaining a new routine he came up with. I think it is a brilliant and a new use for the principle. Your friend puts three different bills in the sleeves and thinks of one of them. As soon as you turn around you name what is in each sleeve and tell them which bill, they are thinking of. No fishing, no nothing, just a simple principle and a cool subtlety. Oh, and he will be adding the new routine to the video instructions that are online. It should be added within 1-2 weeks.

    Watch and buy: HERE.

    Oh, I should mention that the current video tutorial is over explaining how the principle works, it is simple and direct if you don’t care to know the math and the combinations. Don’t let that scare you.

    This is one of the few Ball Vases that uses a recognizable object, or what is termed an organic prop. Since the popularity of Beer Pong, that uses the same balls, has far surpassed the popularity of Table Tennis this has become a very common object.

    MORE INFO & BUY: HERE

    This is a quick routine using four cards that appear to be all the same, then magically transform to look the same on both sides and finally all four cards are shown to have mirror faces–It’s all done with mirrors–Of course.

    CATCH ME & WINCATCH ME & WIN
    MORE INFO & BUY: HERE

    Gene Maze’s fantastic chain routine combines the Fast & Loose or Endless Chain routines with the classic Three Card Monte and Three Shell Game scams.

    The basic routine starts out with a wooden stand holding three pegs or posts. A chain is then wrapped around all the pegs as you explain that when the chain is pulled one peg will always catch while the other two will not. If they pick the peg that catches, they win.

    No matter how hard they try they can’t find it. Even though you keep making it easier and giving them tips, they always fail or win. You have total control.
