A Toolkit in Your Pocket


The first full-length treatise on all aspects of the Sight Unseen Case and its many uses is finally here.
From the very first day that Mark Strivings shared the amazing Sight Unseen Case with magicians over thirty years ago, he has referred to it as "a toolkit in your pocket". And it's true. Having this little guy in your pocket is like having a world of possibilities instantly available to you.
While it's still only the very tip of the iceberg, this amazing book will open your eyes to the myriad possibilities that your SUC (Sight Unseen Case) offers. There are a ton of handling ideas, tips, techniques, and insights to using your SUC.
The book is loaded with material from Mark Strivings, but also includes sixteen guest contributors, roughly thirty effects, six major areas of effects and ideas, as well as a complete history of the SUC. Photo-illustrated throughout, this book is a resource that you will return to over and over again!
There are major sections on 'Peeks' (seven peeks, four effects plus additional applications), 'Pocket Writing' (three effects and two additional applications), 'Indexes' (eighteen effects, three indexes plus additional applications), 'Holdouts' (one effect anda switch plus additional applications), 'FX' (eight effects) and 'Magical Applications' (two effects plus additional ideas). You'll also read multiple essays and discussions scattered throughout the book on all aspects of the SUC as it applies to all of these various disciplines.
Taken altogether, this is a formidable collection and one that is certain to set your imagination on fire.
In addition to the material and sixteen effects from Mark Strivings, contributors include:
- Bob Cassidy
- Docc Hilford
- Larry Becker
- Christopher Taylor
- Neil Tobin
- Dan Kirsch
- Joshua Quinn
- Bob LaRue
- Ryan Bliss
- Ralf Frohlich
- Susan Zeller
- Ted Leon
- Michael Rehdish
- Chad Collyer
- Darren Daiku
- Dan Drebus
If you own a Sight Unseen Case, you need this collection. If you don't own a Sight Unseen Case, this is barely the tip of the iceberg in terms of what you are missing!
Everything in this volume can be accomplished with either model of the SUC, and many of the effects are also possible with any of the authorized hybrid wallets available on the market that include the SUC function. But the book is written expressly for use with the SUC, and all material works best with one. NONE of this material has ever been published before, so even if you have Mark's previous works on the SUC, this will all be brand new!
So here's the basic scoop. The book weighs in at over 110 pages, perfect-bound. Tons of material, no matter what kind of work you do.
