5x5 Scotland book

I had purchased this book awhile ago and value it. The UK magicians don't get the play they deserve here (to my thinking). I am very glad that Vanishing Inc. has made it readily available to our magic community. It is well worth the money and there are many more than 5 x 5 tricks...loads more. There is something there for everyone and I am sure that there is something that you'll play with and enjoy performing. Effects are direct and very visual...little needs be said.
Please try it.
Thank you.

 
Holy Blank trick

Excellent trick...very well thought out . One caveat: hard to do in subdued lighting. The idea that any card can be named at any time is tossed around a lot lately but here it really packs a punch. Great as a segue way to mentalism or mind control and at the end your left with no other alternative but to put the pack away (since all the other cards are shown blank) which allows you to go into another card trick or coin routine and it prevents someone from grabbing the deck to look thru it ( not that they necessarily would). Definite value for the dollar.
Thanks for reading this.
