For some time now, my book Terry LaGerould's Pasteboard Presentations II has been available at the Grey Matters Store, as well as numerous magic dealers.

If you wanted to read it, but wanted to get it quicker, or at a lower price, both requests have been answered! Over at Lybrary.com, I am now making the PDF version of Terry LaGerould's Pasteboard Presentations II available!

Many of you probably know the name Terry LaGerould from his recent DVD release, Sessions With Terry LaGerould #1, or the original Pasteboard Presentations book (currently out of print). For those unfamiliar with Terry LaGerould, as I mention in the blurb for the book, the hallmark of his magic is efficient, innovative use of standard moves combined with highly commercial and original presentations. All the material in Pasteboard Presentations II comes directly from Terry's repetoire, and has been perfected over years of performing at major casinos in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Reno.

Here's a complete list and description of the effects in Pasteboard Presentations II, just to whet your appetite:

Unexpected - A psuedo-center deal demonstration with a four ace kicker

Royal Victory - A selected 5 card poker hand is changed into a Royal Flush

Ace Shuttle - The cardboard astronaut escapes from the shuttle

Up the Down Staircase - "Triumph" done with the four Queens

It's All in Your Mind - A mentally selected card repeatedly vanishes

Mental Photography - The black aces "burn" (turn red), printing a selected card

Tell-A-Pathic Gypsies - Four Queens change, and then are found by the spectator

Unforgettable - An impromptu "Triumph" effect that ends with blacks and red separated

Cardboard Keyboard - "Spectator Cuts to the Aces" with a musical presentation

Traveling Man - A King is sandwiched between to red Queens, and jumps back and forth

Cardboard Sobriety Test - Test the spectator's sobriety with the Jacks, Kings, Queens and Aces

Jewel Thief - Two cards change places in the spectator's hands

Instantane-E-Ace-Ly - Just as the magician gives up looking, the four aces are produced

Illusive Cocktail Gals - The Queens are each placed on one of four piles, and magically travel to one pile

Carboard Lie Detector - A small packet-size "Lie Detector" routine

Impromptu Invisible Deck - The Invisible Deck routine, done without gaffs

Incredible Cardboard Acrobat - Halves of the deck impossibly flip face-up and face down, with a "Triumph" finish
