David Solomon had many different sets of lecture notes over the years because he was constantly playing with stuff, improving his previous creations, and putting together new routines. So, each set of notes contained his latest creations and variations.
I now own the rights to all those lecture notes and the remaining inventory. Most of the notes will be released as downloads and might even be combined into a book one day. I have many copies of the lecture notes from 2007 and 2011, so I decided to offer them to you at a bargain price. I think you will find many practical card routines to play with and perform.
I am also offering you a download of a Poker routine that is self-working and one you may use for the rest of your career. It is one of the best, and one that is used by many professionals and hobbyists alike. You will love it!
►Solomon’s Notes 2007:
David Solomon continuously changed his lectures based on where he was lecturing. He included his latest and favorite routines, improved versions of previous routines, as well as the stuff he was currently playing with.
Routines include: Blank Thought, Hello Sailors, Just one Mo’ Sandwich, Just Friends, Marlo/Gardner/Britland Poker Deal, Revisited Mexican Poker, Royal Mayo, and SolMar Ace Assembly Updated.
The lecture notes conclude with David reminiscing about his years at Schulien’s with Ed Marlo.

►Mexican Poker:
If you ever wanted to do an impromptu poker deal that is self-working where the spectator makes all the choices, and you still win… this is for you.
David Solomon teaches his excellent routine using jumbo cards (although you can do it with a borrowed deck). Ten cards are used and are dealt to the table, two at a time, letting your friend decide which cards are for them and which cards are for you. After giving them every opportunity to change their mind at every instance you still win. They will end up with a full house while you show that they selected a straight flush for you… depending on the choices they make you might even get a Royal Flush!

►Card Tricks That Kilt:
This is the lecture booklet Steve put together for the 2019 exclusive Karl LaFong gathering in Glasgow, Scotland. He has since used the routines in this booklet for his lectures around the world.
Routines include: Stebbin’ Out, Progressive Mating Season (VII), Reopening Stab, The Stalker (Steve Beam & Ron Wohl), Final Score, More Than Just A Snappy Dresser, Club Sandwich, Quick Change, Five Spot, Mortality, and Four-Gone Conclusion.

►Stage Size BS Board:
A funny and surprising comedy routine for entertainers.
This is the first time it has been made available for stage performers. Meir Yedid has been closing his stage shows with it for 15+ years and magicians have been begging him to release the stage version.
It is not a magic routine. It is a comedy bit that can be used anytime during a show.
