About the book

Act Two by Barrie Richardson contains 54 tricks, ideas and routines in a 382-page hardcover. It combines practical methods with full presentations using humour, drama and audience involvement. Examples from Richardson's motivational talks are also included.

Cards and mind reading

Topics include a named card appearing at a freely chosen position, billet techniques with business cards and Post-it notes, and a red-and-black separation performed in spectators' hands. The book also explores methods for divining one or more mentally selected cards.

Memory, calculation and other magic

The material includes rapid calculation and memory demonstrations, an apparent solid form beneath a cloth napkin, and the Jar of Rice Suspension. Other routines use coins, banknotes, magazines, marbles and rope.

Practical techniques

Three standing deck switches require neither sleight of hand nor pockets. Another routine uses a deck that secretly returns to order after a spectator mixes it. The emphasis throughout is on complete performance pieces and their presentations.
