Columnist: Paul Cummins Joe Stevens made a great suggestion regarding the chat I will be hosting on May 16th: why not post a routine in the Columns section and see if it generates some discussion during the chat! Below you’ll find a routine that is not in my lecture notes, but is slated for inclusion […]
Columnist: Paul Cummins This, the last formal installation of my column for GeMiNi, is a Poker routine in which the spectator apparently does all the straightforward choosing and discarding of cards yet somehow finds a royal flush for themselves. Over probably hundreds of performances (this one is only about five years old), it has been […]
Columnist: Paul Cummins The following routine originally appeared in The New York Magic Symposium Collection 3, by Stephen Minch, in 1984. At that time it was one of my staples at the bar in Gainesville, FL where I worked nightly at Farah’s on the Avenue Cafe. The place had about a 60 foot bar, a […]

Although the writing and publishing was proceeding nicely, I wanted to perform for layman […]
Columnist: Paul Cummins HereÃs a routine IÃve been using now for about six months. I admit IÃve used it mostly for magicians and it has left them baffled; the few laymen IÃve performed it for had no clue whatsoever and everyone IÃve performed it for were surprised to be holding their selection at the end […]
Columnist: Paul Cummins This is installment 4 of this series of columns and I hope there are some of you out there who have been enjoying them and are playing with some of the routines. Multiple selection routines have been around for awhile and are a wonderful closer for a table-hopping or walkaround performance. Ed […]
