"Shock Treatment" by Jackie McClements

Shock Treatment, page 19.

Jackie’s brilliant vanishing deck trick is a total fooler. I was first shown it by Jerry Sadowitz, back in his heyday working at International Magic in London. When he performed it, I was so shocked I nearly fell over. I’m not joking! It is guaranteed to not only devastate laymen, but also give heart palpitations to any magician who doesn’t know it. It has remained in my repertoire from that day to this.
