Jinx Navigator Podcast — Issue #24, Miraskill, and More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Issue #24 is a strong one — Stuart James contributes two effects including Jay's personal favorite, Annemann's Think It Over column returns with a long run of practical performance advice, and the issue closes with a two-person card match that hinges on a fan the helper thinks they can see through but can't. Effects Covered [1:05] Editorial — Theodore Annemann Blackstone has wrapped seven weeks of exposure columns without exposing a single trick from his own act — Annemann repeats his standing d
Jinx Navigator Podcast - Issue #23; Daley's Death Divination, and More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Issue #23 delivers calendar math, a complete pocket act built around a pencil, a 25-minute mentalism program assembled from earlier Jinx effects, an odd-backed card that keeps switching decks without anyone claiming to do a trick, and a touch-based divination that's been sitting in Annemann's notebook since 1928 with no author attached. Effects Covered [1:13] Editorial — Theodore Annemann Annemann sketches a complete impromptu pocket act built around a single pencil, goes after a dealer whose se
Jinx Navigator Podcast — Issue #22, The Card Phenomenon, and More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Issue #22 opens fresh from the IBM convention, where a Toledo burglar declined the key to the city on professional grounds and proceeded to pick everyone's locks anyway.

Effects Covered [1:12] Editorial — Theodore Annemann One
Episode 021: Issue #21, Money Mentalism, and More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jinx Navigator Podcast — Episode 21: Issue #21 Issue #21 opens with an obituary for a coin legend, scatters into a long stream of trivia and dispatches including a notable visitor list that ends with Mike the Educated Rooster, and then delivers a two-phase ace routine, a triple prediction, a clamp-coded denomination divination, and a name that appears to sew itself onto a handkerchief in colored thread. The Think It Over column returns with more items than usual and a quote about knowing five tr
Episode 020: Issue #20, Silver or Copper, and More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jinx Navigator Podcast — Episode 20: Issue #20 Issue #20 arrives with a dedication: no card tricks whatsoever. Annemann is busy going after plagiarists, weighing in on the SAM's long-awaited exposure charges against Harlan Tarbell, and delivering a column of performance advice that holds up just as well today as it did in 1936. The effects include a dollar-and-five transposition that works itself, a free-choice coin through a handkerchief, a ten-cent substitute for a three-dollar switching tray,
