#	Title	Type
2	My Blendo Load	Gimmick
A method for loading a blendo silk into a faked container disguised as a Diamond Dye package, allowing clean introduction without a clip steal.
4	Amazing Coincidence	Trick
A spectator's chosen card lands in a row of eight on the table. From a second row dealt below it, the card the magician peeked at lies directly under the spectator's selection.
5	You Can't Lose — Apparently!	Trick
A method exposing a gambler's betting system that always returns a profit regardless of outcome — useful when including an exposé of gambler's methods in a routine.
6	Okito Goes Mental	Trick
A mental routine using an Okito Coin Box. The spectator writes a thought on a paper slip, places it in the box, and the magician divines its contents.
7	My Favorite Routine With Otto The Duck	Routine
Three colored cards are shuffled and one is freely chosen. Otto the Duck produces alphabet cards from his beak that spell out the very color of the chosen card.
8	Two Tips on Tricks	Idea
Two practical tips: filling a thumb-tip with mercurochrome to fake blood in needle-through-thumb; and tinting fake eggs to match dark-shelled real eggs in Silk to Egg.
8	One Card in 52	Trick
A spectator names any card. The magician shows a red-backed deck and removes the named card — its back is blue, while the rest of the deck remains red.
9	Dice Stack Addenda	Trick
A surprise climax for the dice-stack routine: after the four dice vanish from the cup, an avalanche of sixteen dice cascades out of it instead.
10	A New Idea on Rising Cards	Trick
Three cards are chosen and shuffled back. The deck is placed in a glass and floats into the air; the chosen cards rise out and fall to the floor.
11	Confetti and Milk	Trick
A vanish and reappearance routine using Buddha Tubes: a glass and a can of confetti vanish, then both reappear from inside the tubes.
11	Method for an Unprepared Blendo	Technique
A method for performing a blendo silk effect using only a handkerchief vanisher and a rubber band — no special blendo silk required.
12	Drink Your Milk	Routine
A milk pitcher routine with patter: milk poured into a covered glass changes into candy. A reverse of the action leaves the glass empty.
12	Cut Ribbon Gag	Trick
A variant of the cut-and-restored ribbon: five thumb tips holding different colored ribbons let the spectator freely choose which color is used in the trick.
13	About Tables	Idea
Tips on using a 36" silk in place of table drapes — including how to load items like a dye tube from underneath, and a chemical formula for changing wine to beer.
13	Utility Glass	Prop
A faked glass with a sliding inner compartment that allows objects to be apparently produced from or vanished into a seemingly empty glass.
14	The Floating Glass	Prop
A glass apparatus that floats up out of a tube using a tapered glass and a celluloid gimmick — useful for visually striking smoke or liquid effects.
15	Candy from the Air	Trick
A balloon is filled with "air containing candy" and placed in a small cabinet. A pin pierces the cabinet, breaks the balloon — and candy falls into the lower compartment.
16	Paper Lady	Trick
A girl appears in a screen apparently filled with confetti. The screen is shown empty, filled with confetti, then a gun fires — and a girl in a paper costume steps out.
18	Addition to Reversette	Idea
An additional finish for the trick "Reversette" (1945 Year Book) that lets the deck be examined freely at the close of the routine without exposing the gimmick.
19	The Crystal Flame	Trick
A spectator chooses a card. A volunteer lights a match from a book of matches — and the inside cover reveals a miniature image of the chosen card.
