Hands Off My Notes by John Guastaferro

Discover “Hands Off My Notes,” an innovative collection of ten professional card effects by John Guastaferro. These effects stand out for their nearly self-working nature and the fact that they unfold in the participants’ hands.

This 26-page PDF introduces a variety of engaging effects, such as a playful spelling routine, a mentalism effect with a time-of-day twist, several gambling-themed performances, a cleverly simple mental effect using four cards, multiple Ace productions, a Triumph routine ideal for parlour settings, a prediction effect with imaginary dice, and a hands-off approach to a captivating closer. Each effect is designed to be predominantly “hands off,” requiring minimal handling and often allowing for impromptu performances without extensive setups.

In addition to the ten card effects, you’ll also gain insights into simple techniques and clever principles that enhance audience engagement throughout the performance.
