CONTENTS

• The Hack – An utterly impossible, squeaky clean demonstration of clairvoyance (or is it mindreading?) powered by Father Time.
• Vidente – With nothing but an old advertising flier, the performer coaches a volunteer through their own astonishing demonstration of telepathy. An “EDC” for folks who value such things.
• The Obligatory Essay – Pithy thoughts on the roles of alignment, balance, and courage in the Impossible Arts.
• Ordo Ab Chao – A six-digit random number [chaotically generated from three other random numbers] is somehow predicted by both the performer and a volunteer-shuffled deck of cards. Rum thoughts, indeed.
• Ordo Ab Chao Simplex – The mysterious Norwegian dictated this one to appease readers enamored with Ordo Ab Chao’s impact but equally horrified by its complexity. A nice, tight variation.
• U-Turn – Purpose-built as a defensive (yet devastating) response to the classic drunken challenge: “If you can really read minds, what am I thinking?” The paranormal skills of two volunteers are tested under varying conditions… with one successfully pinpointing the exact location of a predetermined playing card in a deck they themselves shuffled. The performer immediately replicates this feat.
• Synapse Boot: Distortion – A puckish provocation for readers keen on tackling an intriguing plot. The Norwegian waits patiently…
• The Misanthrope’s Dilemma – A new framework for crafting robust book tests from genuine, ungimmicked literary works. No pre-show, peeks, flashbacking, page-forcing, or “first word on the page” nonsense… and no bloody cell phone apps.
• Pentacycle – Inspired by Charles Jordan and Leo Boudreau, a supercharged exhibition of clairvoyance (or mind-reading… or tell-reading) at the poker table. Complete with instructions for tailoring your own stack.
