Featured routines include:

Smokeless: A borrowed cigarette is lit, and the match disappears. The cigarette is then placed in your fist and vanishes completely.

The Bantam-Weight Card: A selected card is found and shrunk to a miniature. With a wave of your hand, it magically returns to its original size.

Marked Off-Color: A spectator cuts to a card that you name by its back. To prove it’s marked, it’s revealed as the only red-backed card in a blue-backed deck.

The Miser’s Cornucopia: A borrowed dollar bill is rolled into a cone, and ten dimes are poured out.

The Operator: A multi-phase routine featuring coins and bills, starting with two copper coins switching places with a silver coin, leading into a bill transposition where a one-dollar bill changes places with a five-dollar bill under impossible conditions.

New Sponge & Sleeve: A sponge ball repeatedly vanishes and reappears in the spectator’s sleeve.

Elbow Coin Vanish: A stack of coins is balanced on your elbow, and as you toss, they vanish completely upon repetition.

Red & White: Roger’s signature handling of the color-changing handkerchief routine, where a red handkerchief transforms into a white one during a clever sucker/exposure sequence.

Techniques and subtleties covered include: Hofzinser Spread Cull, Classic Force Ruse, Thumbtip management, Peek Force, LePaul Pop-Up Production, Stud Bottom Deal, Side Steal, Dye Tube management, and much more.
