While at 4F Randy Wakeman told me that he still has the Rainbow Decks II and the Rainbow Deck book in stock, so I grabbed all he had left.
The quality of the cards are the Carte Mundi stock that was sold to casinos and the book contains some terrific routines by names you would know. If you ever wanted to do a Rainbow Deck routine and didn’t know which way to go this is a great start.
Tom Gagnon agreed to sell me more autographed copies of his 4F Lecture Notes and all the remaining copies of his coin book. Unfortunately, the coin book just sold out and that is the end of it. Except for a trick inside that might end up as a standalone…shhh…
Also…If you are near New Jersey, you can catch the Jersey Magic Jam starring Rocco and I with some new material… It is close to selling out. Tickets: HERE
►Rainbow Deck II + Book:
This is a deck of Poker-size cards printed by Carta Mundi (which now owns USPC). Each card has a different colored image on its back. There are many things you can do with a Rainbow Deck besides using it as a kicker ending for a routine.
To help you with that journey you will also receive a copy or Randy’s The Rainbow Deck Book that is full of routines by: Clark Crandall, Ken Brooke, Jon Racherbaumer, Ron Bauer, Randy Wakeman, Edward Marlo, Gene Castillon, Michael Powers, Frank Garcia, and Randy Wakeman. 56-pages, illustrated, softcover, perfect-bound.

►FFFF 2026 Lecture Notes:
Tom Gagnon was the guest of honor at the 2026 4F Magic Convention where he presented a new lecture and produced a special set of lecture notes for the event.
He describes what he included as, “The routines were developed over forty years and, once perfected, will arm you dear reader with some of the most deceptive and versatile tools possible with a deck of cards. I hope that its contents will serve as a comprehensive and inspirational source for those seeking to take their card magic to the next level.”

►MY LATEST RELEASE:
►Coin Copier:
This is an ingenious self-working coin box routine that Christian Scherer created in the 1980s. Since that time the manufacturing technology and the availability of the gimmicks used has advanced and the current version works perfectly.
The basic routine involves a metal box which is referred to as a tiny counterfeiting machine. You dump the four coins out of the box; a Japanese coin, a Swiss coin, a British coin and a US coin. Using the Japanese coin as a sample each coin is placed in the box and one at a time, as the box is waved over the Japanese coin, the coin inside instantly turns into a duplicate of the Japanese coin. This is repeated until all four coins have turned into Japanese coins and everything is examinable.

►BACK IN STOCK:
Picked up a few of these at 4F. They previously sold out… around a year ago.
►Psi-Roller:
An easy routine with cards and dice that creates an impossible outcome.
You show a deck of cards, and then set a prediction face down on the table, before the trick starts. Next you bring out four different dice, each with a different number of sides (D4, D6, D8 and D10).
The spectator rolls the whole lot of dice, generating four random numbers, and then they choose one of them to place on top of the prediction card.
The same procedure is repeated three more times – each time the spectator rolling the dice, generating random numbers, and then consciously choosing one to place onto a face down prediction card, placed down before the dice were rolled.
The cards are carefully removed from underneath the cards, and flipped over… Amazingly, each card has the same value as the die the spectator chose to place onto it!

“Sometime ago, someone said, somewhere, something to the effect that if you had a trick with three sleights, and then eliminated one of the moves, you would have a better trick. Then, if you worked out a method to accomplish the effect with one move, you had a darned good trick. And, if you could do the trick without that last move, you would have a miracle. However, I have found that if you eliminate that last move you usually wind up with a mathematical atrocity.”
…Edward Marlo (The Cardician, 1953)
