Automatic Placements by Nick Conticello

Renowned Tarbell Course contributor Nick Conticello presents his most comprehensive work yet, offering innovative perspectives on the classic concept of mathematical card magic known as Automatic Placement. This book features fresh variations, including the Inverted Placement and the Symmetric Placement, all achievable without any sleight of hand! Here’s what you can expect:

ABC/123: Experience Alex Elmsley’s Spell by the Numbers, minus the Faro shuffle.

NO LOOKING ORACLE: The performer identifies one mental selection and names another without ever seeing the cards.

SELF-PROMOTION: A true Nick Conticello masterpiece! This effect, featuring the Inverted Placement, is destined to become a classic.

THINK STOP: Witness the simultaneous revelation of two mentally selected cards, with no audience counting or cutting involved; participants simply think of two small numbers. This introduces the Symmetric Placement.

THINK STOP VARIATION: An enhanced version that adapts the previous effect for larger audiences, minimizing the risk of spectator memory lapses.

DOUBLE POSITION PREDICTION: In this effect, the performer accurately predicts the locations of two thought-of cards.

And there’s even more! The book also includes a concise historical introduction and a bibliography.

If you are passionate about sleightless card magic, original concepts, and practical, straightforward material, then Automatic Placements is a must-have for your collection!
