Description: "THE SI STEBBINS CARD CONTROL SYSTEM" + 5 ORIGINAL TRICKS-First published in the United States in Si Stebbins' Card Tricks and the Way He Performs Them in 1898-- A FINE BOUND REPRINT OF THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - Interested in card tricks and acts of mentalism? These instructions will go over a deck stack that makes it easy to preform amazing and baffling illusion, card predictions, and gambling ticks (though I do not recommend you actually gamble with a stacked deck, for your own safety) and much more. DESCRIPTION The Si Stebbins System assigns a numerical value to each card: such as aces are one, all spot cards are the same as their face value, jacks are 11, and so on. Chances are, even if you are new to the Si Stebbins System, you’re probably already familiar with both of the concepts from other card tricks. What you can do with the Si Stebbins System? What can’t you do? With the Si Stebbins System, you can easily identify one or more freely selected cards, locate a “thought of” card in the pack, and discover the identity of the card at ANY position in the deck. What’s more, you can do all this with a minimum of handling, no difficult moves, and the deck can be completely examined at the end. This listing provides the method for stacking and memorizing the stack and system. It also include 5 original Si Stebbins tricks.. ……………………….. ABOUT SI STEBBINS Si Stebbins (1867 - 1950) performed as an acrobat as well as a clown in a variety of circuses. He was billed as "Vino". He published some books under the name "Vino" too. He became known as Si Stebbins in 1892. He is the creator of the card stack called the Si Stebbins Stack. The version he published was actually a bit different then how he performed it. The cards he used were four numbers apart, not the familiar three, and there was a different rotation of suits. Stebbins was one of the first to do trade shows and toured with the Willys Overland Company auto agencies. He also lined up some baker's alliance and went from town to town sponsored by the local bakery. Stebbins died of a heart attack in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Si Stebbins System Horacio Galasso described the progression in Giochi de Carte (1593) which was translated to French and possibly the source for Gaspar Cardozo de Sequeira's Portuguese book Thesouro de Prudents" (1612). In the winter of 1895-1896, Si Stebbins was traveling through New England giving "store shows." Another member of the show was a Syrian magician named Selim Cid, a card manipulator who performed a routine with a stacked deck which Stebbins learned from him. This is what is now known as the Si Stebbins Stack. Si Stebbins publishes his version in William Vino's Card Tricks (1898). This booklet was reprinted in the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch on December 18, 1898 (a reprint of the article appeared in the July 1945 issue of The Linking Ring, vol. 25, no. 5.). Howard Thurston publishes his version as "The Thurston System" in Howard Thurston's Card Tricks (1901). 5 COMPLETE PAGES OF INSTRUCTIONS WITH PHOTOS FOR LEARNING PERFORMING THIS/THESE MINOR MIRACLES!
