Thomas Baxter – Not A Dianoetic Rage

PDF

Over a period of years Thomas Baxter has published a number of startling and innovative contributions for creating mysteries with Playing Cards. These ideas have appeared in places such as Trapdoor and Antimony Magazines， and in books such as Ariel Frailich’s CARD STORIES ; Allan Slaight’s THE JAMES FILE and his own books， THE ACTION COP and A CARD MERELY THOUGHT OF…

Many of these works are now out of print and no longer available. This manuscript is a result of requests from the fraternity to have several of Thomas’s favorite routines and techniques compiled into one single， readily available place.

These are routines that have delighted lay audiences and magicians alike in 31 countries around the world. In this manuscript you’ll find out why Steve Beam of Trapdoor Magazine fame said： “Thomas Baxter does Super Magic!” and you’ll see what he means by one of these effects – BREATHLESS – having the power to elicit the “wet-shorts response!”;

…and why Jay Sankey wrote， about Tom’s work on THE ACTION COP， that Tom had created “…a small collection of effects and moves， each with a Zen-like simplicity and the unflinching focus of a professionally served tennis ball.”
