$45 Wisdom of the Cups and Balls
(PDF)
“Everyone who performs or intends to perform the cups and balls
needs to read and understand the material in this book.
It reflects the knowledge gained from decades of performing
in front of live audiences.”
Bill Palmer, M.I.M.C. November 2019

“How to use ‘frames’ to enhance the various elements
of the routine is brilliant! Your cups and balls routine itself is superior.
Every nuance is provided and explained.
The big plus to your routine is that it is entertaining!” 
Harry Murphy 2019

$15 Revisiting Bill Simon's
Prophecy Move
(PDF)

Gerald first describes his version of the move. This in-the-hands handling accomplishes the move using natural movements in spreading the cards. Neither hand turns over when performing the sleight as in the original version. Gerald applies the principles in his book The Ostrich Factor to produce entertaining routines. The treatise also gives methods to position secretly the top and bottom cards and false shuffles to retain them in position.

$25 My Favorite Card Magic
(PDF) 69 pages

My Favorite Card Magic explains tricks with straight-forward plots, classic methods and direct handlings. Gerald prefers uncomplicated tricks and routines which can be performed under the most demanding conditions. The tricks do require practice and skillful handling. But you'll not find awkward, "knuckle busting"
sleights or complex procedures.

The treatise highlights the Robson Poker Deal, first published as "The Best Ever Poker Deal" in 1945. Many of the good poker deals (Marlo Gardner Poker Deal, the Lorayne Poker Deal, etc.) involve re-deal stacking (dealing the cards out twice to stack the deck for the desired result). Some require highly skilled card handling. The Robson Poker Deal does not employ re-deal stacking or advanced skills.
