Thank you for your interest in “A Toolkit in your Pocket”.

Here is complete
information!
Copyright©2020, Mark D. Strivings. All rights reserved.

Back in 1995 I created the Sight Unseen Case, the most versatile gaffed business card case
ever created, and it has gone on to become the worldwide standard against which all other
devices of its type are measured. It has literally attained the status of legendary.

In the 25 years since it was first released to the magic and mentalism community the one
question that I have been asked more than any other has been, "when is the book coming out?"

The book they are referring to is finally here. Prior to now there have been some excellent
support materials for the SUC - The Unseen Edition, The Master Move and SUCcinct, along
with the owners manual that comes with every SUC. But from day one that has felt like the very
tip of the iceberg, and indeed that is the case.

But today I am pleased to announce what will become the flagship of the SUC library. Allow me
to introduce you to...

A Toolkit in your Pocket


by Mark Strivings
A Treatise on the Sight Unseen Case
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 I shared the amazing Sight Unseen Case with the fraternity 25 years
ago I have referred to is as 'a toolkit in your pocket', and the reference is 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 offers. There are boatloads of handling ideas, tips, techniques
and insights to using your SUC. The book is loaded with material from Mark Strivings, but also
includes 16 guest contributors, roughly 30 effects, six major areas of effects and ideas as well
as a complete history of the SUC. Photo illustrated throughout, this is a book that you will return
to over and over again!

In addition to material from Mark Strivings (sixteen effects), contributors include Bob Cassidy,
Docc Hilford, Larry Becker, Christopher Taylor, Neil Tobin, Dan Kirsch (two contributions),
Joshua Quinn, Bob LaRue, Ryan Bliss, Ralf Frohlich, Susan Zeller, Ted Leon, Michael Rehdish,
Chad Collyer (two contributions), Darren Daiku, and Dan Drebus. Major sections include '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 and a switch plus additional applications), 'FX' (eight effects) and 'Magical
Applications' (two effects plus additional ideas). In addition there are 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.

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 my 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, comb bound in card covers.
Tons of material, no matter what kind of work you do.

All US orders will be shipped via media mail, so please be sure to allow extra time for that.

This book is going to be a classic for all SUC users everywhere, and you don't want to miss out.
It can be yours for only...

Highlights of what a few of my friends have to say:

“…one of the very few devices I carry with me everywhere I go. And it’s one of the essential
gimmicks I recommend to all Mentalists.” - Bob Cassidy

“…one of the top ten creations ever for the working mentalist.” - Docc Hilford
“…simply the best. It has been with me on a daily basis. It has never left my side and never will.”
- Garrett Thomas

“For walk around there is not a more well designed tool. It is the ultimate wallet to use in
combination with pocket writing.” - Banachek

“…a masterpiece.” - Marc Spelmann

“One of the most useful items in my toolkit.” - Eric Mead

“…my ‘go-to’ peek wallet.” - Jeff McBride

I cannot thank my friends enough for saying such nice things about something that I invented.
And lest I be accused of lifting the juiciest part of a quote for the sake of promotion, here are the
quotes in their entirety, unedited:

“The SUC is among the best utility devices ever devised for mentalists. While it was primarily
designed as a peek device, it is also perfect for pocket writing as well as stealing and loading
folded billets. In fact, the latter is, in my opinion, the most powerful and subtle use of the device.
“It’s a completely innocent appearing business card case and is excellently made to last.

“The best testament I can give to the SUC is that it is one of the very few devices I carry with me
everywhere I go. And it’s one of the essential gimmicks I recommend to all mentalists.” - Bob
Cassidy

"After all these years and so many other wallets and cases, I stand by my original statement...
Sight Unseen Case is one of the top ten creations ever for the working mentalist."

"I've tried most of the other peek wallets that use Mark's original idea. Billfolds, secretary style
and even other business card cases, but I always end up going back to SUC.

“It's compact size works better in a suit, it's a simple yet beautiful case and the quality is so high
I'm still using the originals I got from Mark over 20 years ago!

In my opinion as a professional mentalist who earns his living on stage and at the table, you
can't beat the SUC.” - Docc Hilford

“I have used the Sight Unseen Case for the last 20 years. For all of that time I have performed
5-7 venues and shows a week 10-40 close up performances a day. Every group I've performed
for I have pulled out the SUC, so the term "time tested" is an understatement. This case has
been to hell and back with me. I mention this to point out the quality I am still using my first one I
have not yet needed to grab a back up case. It still looks as good as the day I got it.

“There have been many methods over the years to get needed information, I have
experimented with many, but always something is lacking, they may have had great concept but
the quality is not there or batteries die out or the look of the tool has gone out of style.
“The simplicity of this method should not be overlooked yet when I have tried other wallets and
cases that use a similar method, they have fallen short for me. There is something about this
particular size, look, and quality that make the Sight Unseen Case stand way out, I have never
seen its match, nothing has even come close.

“The Sight Unseen Case is simply the best. It has been with me on a daily basis. It has never
left my side and never will.” - Garrett Thomas

“I have owned many wallets through years, many of them wonderful, but the SUC is the only
wallet I have continuously used and still do use for close up walk around. Its size is perfect, its
secret hidden. For walk around there is not a more well designed tool. It is the ultimate wallet to
use in combination with pocket writing.” - Banachek

"Uncluttered, original and as brilliant today as it was over a decade ago. Mark's SUC was my
first business card peek wallet. The simplicity and deceptiveness make it workable, reliable and
totally natural. It was and is a masterpiece." - Marc Spelmann

“One of the most useful items in my toolkit. In fact, it lives in my pocket, and I rarely leave home
without it.” - Eric Mead

“I’ve been working with the Sight Unseen Case for over 10 years. It is now my ‘go-to’ peek
wallet.” - Jeff McBride

I am going to be immodest. The Sight Unseen Case is THE most versatile, most devious, most
innocent looking gaffed business card case ever created. Its stunning simplicity simply cannot
be beaten for sheer function and ease of working. There is quite literally no end to what you can
do with it. It’s like having a toolkit in your shirt pocket. All this, and it is still the most natural
looking device of its kind ever. There will never be an equal.

The Most Versatile Device Of Its Kind Anywhere...

The Sight Unseen Case


by Mark Strivings

The hottest utility item in decades! You get a business card case that looks completely normal
but allows invisible access from the outside to the inside. It can be handled completely normally
and casually and will not reveal its' workings. It is very low tech, so nothing can go wrong. The
access is built into the design of the case and allows for literally hundreds of effects and
applications. You can perform nail (or boon) writing, pocket writing, billet switches, loading and
unloading billets, peeks and glimpses of written material, double writing applications, as well as
dozens of others that have yet to be discovered.
Your case comes with a 20 page booklet of some of my own handlings for it as well as
descriptions of several techniques that will allow for any number of original effects.

It's available in black only. It's yours for only ...

The Sight Unseen Case -


Generation II
by Mark Strivings
The original Sight Unseen Case has become one of THE standard devices for the working
mentalist and magician the world over. The Sight Unseen Case is still the most innocent and
normal in appearance of any case on the market. The uses for this incredible device are too
numerous to mention. It is capable of more different utility functions than any other case of its
type anywhere in the world, period. Well, now there's even more

Now, there's Generation II. Thanks to a marvelously simple idea from my late friend, Lee
Marelli, the horizons of the Sight Unseen Case can go farther than ever before.

What's new, you ask? Well, we've added two simple (and completely normal) pockets to the
inside of the case. See the pic above. That’s it. This may not seem like much, but when I
showed the Generation II (and just one of the new possibilities of it) to my good friend Lee Earle
when it first came out, his eyebrows raised and he said, "Now that's very interesting". Let me
tease you with just a couple possibilities. What if...

...you could show your spectator a folded slip of paper in your business card case. They
name any single digit number. You now remove the folded slip and, written on it is the exact
number they name.

...you have your spectator name any one of the ESP symbols and you then show it to be
written on the only folded slip of paper in your business card case.

...you have a spectator name any playing card and you show that there is a single
miniature playing card in your business card case, it's their card.

...you could interchange various effects possible with the case right in front of your
audience without raising any suspicion whatsoever.

...you could do all of the above (and so much more) without any pocket work, extra
hidden indexes or nail writing. All while completely surrounded, close up or stage.

Virtually everything that's possible with the original Sight Unseen Case is possible with
Generation II. You can still

nail (or boon) write, do billet switches, load and unload billets, peek and glimpse, double write,
hold out billets

and so much more. ‘Mechanically’-speaking the Generation II works exactly the same way as
the original Sight Unseen Case. The two extra pockets that make all of the above possible, plus
allow for more storage in the case, which in turn allows for more versatility. This opens up a
whole new vista of possibilities for a case which is already the most versatile in the world.

Your Sight Unseen Case - Generation II comes with a 20 page manual which contains the entire
text of the original Sight Unseen Case manual as well as the basics for the effects described
above, plus much more.

There's no other case like it in the world (except, of course, the original Sight Unseen Case) and
this is a device you will use. For a device as versatile, as well made, as cunningly simple, as
devilishly clever, as easy to use and as elegantly innocent, this is the bargain of a lifetime!

You get the Sight Unseen Case - Generation II and the complete 20 page manual for the
bargain price of only...

The Perfect Companion To The 'Sight Unseen Case'...

The Unseen Edition


by Mark Strivings
The companion booklet to go with the international hits, The Sight Unseen Case & The Sight
Unseen Case - Generation II (available above).
Included in this 20 page booklet are such routines as, "Zodiac Arrest", a fabulous adjunct to
anyone who does readings. You get the sitter's Zodiac sign and can give a reading without any
real knowledge of the Zodiac. "The Invisible Book Test", is a stage routine that packs
unbelievably small, yet can play so large. It's a book test without a book! "Tomb Of The
Pharaoh", sounds ominous, but in reality is a highly commercial straight-ahead mind reading
effect using some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs "Post-Mortem Design Dupe", allows you to
duplicate any spectators' drawing right under their noses. "Presidential Prophesy", is a fun
prediction piece based on some American history that can be adapted to so many themes.
There's also a bonus, "Presidential Prophesy II", a similar effect to 'Presidential Prophesy', but
an entirely different feel and handling. As a special bonus, all camera ready artwork is included
for the specially printed business cards. Lee Earle says I'm selling this too cheap! But, it's yours
for only...

I have a secret. It’s a secret that I have been keeping very quiet for a couple of decades now.
So quiet, in fact that in those 20+ years I have only shared it with one person. Apart from that I
have never even hinted at the existence of this secret to anyone for any reason. I consider it to
be one of my most valuable secrets, and I had been very seriously considering keeping it
entirely to myself just as I have done for more than 20 years.
But I am getting to a point in life where it no longer makes sense to ‘take it with you’, as it were.
Besides, this is a secret that I am quite certain an awful lot of people are going to get some
serious use from. So many of you out there are incredibly creative, and the thought occurred to
me awhile back that I should set this free and see where it goes. It’s quite utilitarian in nature
and as such is open to all kinds of uses. I only use it for two things. I’ll be honest with you. I
cannot wait to see what you do with it once you get your hands on it.

So what is it?

The physical product itself is a small booklet. But as we all know, it’s not the size of the
publication, it’s what is in the publication that counts.

This booklet describes a maneuver that I stumbled across by accident many years ago, and
built into a masterpiece of subtlety and deception.

I have gone out of my way to not perform this around other magicians and mentalists over the
years. Now in hindsight I’m not real sure why I did this. The move is practically invisible and
there’s no way to backtrack the thing. The guys wouldn’t have stood a chance anyway. But I can
tell you for a fact that for those few times when I did troop this out and other performers were in
the audience, I got extremely confused and seriously bewildered looks from these guys.

In short, I had fooled them badly.

Part of what fooled them so hard was the fact that I was using a device that they already had,
and knew how it worked. And I still fooled them badly. What they had just seen wasn’t possible
with the device in question, and yet there it was. Right before their eyes. They had just
witnessed a complete impossibility.

It is never my priority to fool ‘the boys’. My job is to entertain and fool the living crap out of
regular people. But I must say, this fools literally everyone - including ‘the boys’ - so hard that it
is most gratifying.

I know that some of you reading this are getting impatient, so let me show you, or more
accurately have you show yourself exactly what this looks like.

Go get your Sight Unseen Case and an old playing card. I’ll wait. If you don’t have an SUC,
you’re about to kick yourself (and what are you thinking, anyway?) And BTW this doesn’t work
with any of the hybrid wallets and such that have incorporated the SUC design over the years.
This only works with the SUC.

Remove everything you have in the SUC. Fold the playing card into quarters and put it into a
pocket in your SUC, sticking out of the pocket so that you can see it clearly when the case is
open. Close the case and lay it on the table.

This next part you can simply imagine if you’d like, although if you do this it will happen for real.
Take a deck of cards (imaginary in this case) and shuffle them thoroughly. Have a card selected
from a deck. Have it signed. Shuffle it back into the deck. Make your mystical gesticulations and
say your magic words.

Now do this next part for real. Open your SUC that’s sitting on the table, showing the card right
where you left it. At this point you would have your spectator remove it and unfold it, it’s their
signed card. That’s what this looks like.

That is just one possible scenario, and it’s one that I use regularly in my close up work.

The other scenario where I use this is in a mentalism context. I have an endless number of
directions I can go with this, but I’ll give you the barest bones of one. I take a business card and
write something on the back of it, fold it up and place it into my SUC, similar to the above
scenario, so that it can be seen when the case is open. I close the case and ask my helper to
name their first childhood pet. They name it. Is there any way I could possibly have known that?
Of course not. The case is opened and there is my folded business card right where I left it. The
spectator removes it, opens it and reads the back. It has the name of their first pet written on it.
They weep tears of joy at having witnessed such a miracle.

These are but two possibilities with what I have here. The true possibilities are virtually endless.
But enough talk and vagueness. Allow me to introduce you to…

The Master Move


by Mark Strivings
Do you own a Sight Unseen Case? If you do, then you need to learn ‘The Master Move’. In this
slim but pregnant volume there is the secret to a maneuver that allows for miracles of incredible
magnitude. As you have already read above, this is killer stuff. You will learn the basics of the
entire maneuver in about five minutes, but the miracles that you will perform with it will create
memories that last a lifetime.

In this profusely photo-illustrated volume you will learn exactly how to create miracles like what
you have just read, as well as provide you with the fuel to create endless other impossibilities.
Here are a few things to keep in mind…

• this is angle proof if you do it properly

• reset can be the matter of about two seconds, depending on what your routine is

• the maneuver itself is very easy to do

• this works with either model of the Sight Unseen Case, original or Generation II

• this does not work with any other iteration of a wallet or business card case other than the
SUC

• you can learn the basics of the entire workings of this in less than five minutes

• ‘The Master Move’ is highly adaptable and there are endless scenarios like those outlined
above that are possible

• the spectator removes the final revelation themselves

• both sides of the SUC can be shown before, during and after the effect

• this does not happen in the spectator’s hands, but it is so incredibly clean it simply doesn’t
matter

• this can be done in any surroundings but works best (as I do it, anyway) in a close up or
parlor setting

All you need is a Sight Unseen Case and then decide what else you are going to use (billets,
business cards, playing cards, etc.) and you can be ready to go within minutes of learning this.
You will find yourself coming up with all kinds of uses for it almost immediately. This is powerful
stuff!

You get the slim but very pregnant, photo-illustrated volume which tells you everything you need
in detail. I really should be selling this for much more than I am, but it can be yours for only…

Those of you who are a part of my Facebook SUC group (‘Sight Unseen Case Users’) already
know about this.

Back in early September of 2018 there was a thread running in the group that had branched out
into a couple of different directions (as these things tend to do) and in the course of discussion
the concept of having an entire close up mentalism act that could be contained and worked out
of the SUC came up. I mentioned that I had work on the concept and was immediately asked if
any of it was in print. The answer was no.

Let me backtrack a little. Back in 1995 I released the Sight Unseen Case. Needless to say it has
gone on to become the worldwide standard for devices of its type. A couple years after it came
out I got a call from one of the original purchasers (my dear friend Lee Marelli from Colorado)
inquiring about the possibility of adding a couple of extra internal pockets to the SUC to allow for
more storage. I didn’t see why not so I shot a note out to Roy Roth, the maker of the SUC at the
time and he was able to comply in grand style. Thus the SUC Generation II was born.

But that’s not the reason for this note.

I asked why Lee was wanting more storage space in the SUC. It would seem that he was on a
bit of a mission. He had set out to create an entire close up mentalism show that could carried
completely in the SUC, and he was running out of room. Hence the need for more pockets.

I had never considered the notion of a complete close up show in the SUC before. It’s an
intriguing idea, and a unique challenge.
This kind of thing has been done many times before, most often by magicians who desire to
carry a complete close up magic ‘set’ in their wallet. There have also been mentalists who have
tackled the same idea, building an entire show from a single, small container of some sort,
usually made of leather.

Anyway, many years ago I went to work on the subject and since that time I have gone through
many iterations and combinations of material. But it couldn’t just be a bunch of tricks that
happen to be small and flat that fit into the case.

I had (and continue to have) several considerations for this material. I wanted it all to appear to
be normal materials that a mentalist would carry. Obviously business cards are a huge part of
this, but I also wanted a variety of material. I wanted to be able to perform a complete close up
show that had a beginning, a middle and an end. The individual effects needed to vary from one
to another. No feeling of ‘sameness’ in any of them. And I wanted at least one effect to be
decidedly unique.

After years of experimentation I now have a set of material with which I am immensely pleased.
It’s a solid 30 minute close up show that works out of the SUC. I can do it as an entire formal
program if I wish or I can use any part of it that I may desire for a shorter program, or even
pieces of this program as part of a larger show. It’s very versatile. It has been most satisfying to
me personally to put this together. But until that online conversation I had never considered
putting it all together into one collection for other SUC enthusiasts. In fact the question posed to
me from the group seemed quite out of the blue and completely unexpected.

But then I got to thinking about it and I decided to go to the group and see what they thought. I
took a very informal poll and discovered that there was considerable interest in such a
publication.

So over the course of the next few days I got to work and started tracking down where I had
gotten the material that I have been using all these years to begin with. Not a simple task in a
couple of instances. That said, I was able to track most everything down and started writing.
Along the way I rediscovered some tangents that I had toyed with over the course of many
years that make me wonder why I abandoned them to begin with. But we’ve all done that
before.

As I researched and started writing it became apparent to me that this was a much bigger
project than I had anticipated, in no small part because I kept adding things in. I finally had to
draw the line or else lose sight of the project altogether!

The entire process was exhilarating and exciting in ways that I had never considered before.
And I couldn’t possibly be happier with the final result. It’s a book that was well over 20 years in
the making and represents a very unique and distinctive addition to the literature, not only of the
legendary Sight Unseen Case, but of mentalism in general. While this basic idea has been
explored by others within our community, it has never been explored quite like this. Quite
literally, an entire close-up mentalism show in your shirt pocket.

It’s time to introduce you to…


SUCcinct
by Mark Strivings
A complete close up mentalism performance contained within
the legendary Sight Unseen Case

AKA

‘Is that a show in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?’

Five killer routines that can be carried and performed straight out of your Sight Unseen Case. A
complete close up show right in your pocket.

The book that has become a global sensation among Sight Unseen Case users is now
available!
Included are:

Magic Carpet Ride - a close up color divination test that must be experienced to be believed.
Five colored business cards are mixed and covered with a handkerchief. One of them is
selected and the performer is able to directly discern which one. An incredibly direct and strong
test.

Coda - a test wherein a spectator uses their own intuition to find what is not known. This has
multiple phases that build to a mind numbing finale.

Subliminal Persuasion - The performer is able to plant a thought into the spectator’s head in
ways that everyone has heard of, but probably never actually witnessed. And the proof of the
performer’s success is beyond belief.

Tabletop Twister - Three spectators take part in a game that is as random as can be and yet at
every turn the performer is able to determine who wins, even with his back to the action. The
brain crushing finale has the performer actually predicting the random actions of all three
spectators at once!

Psychometry Plus - An incredible five-phase routine wherein the performer reads three minds, a
spectator finds their own artwork by intuition alone and then comes the incredible finale wherein
the performer and final spectator are shown to be on the exact same wavelength.

This is powerful material, and all very simple.

Also included in this important tome is a bonus effect that actually started it all! Chapters
include:

Thoughts on the SUC Act, Thoughts on the SUC itself, Marking Business Cards, Creating and
Printing Business Cards, Additional Ideas, Using the Original SUC VS the Generation II for the
Act, and much more!

Put this together, toss your SUC into your pocket and you will be armed with some powerful
material that plays incredibly strong.

The book also includes specially printed and prepared business size cards to perform ‘Magic
Carpet Ride’ (a $10.00 value all by itself)

The book comes in at over 70 pages, comb bound in card covers and is a formidable and
important addition to the Sight Unseen Case lexicon.

This major new work can be yours for only…

I've been keeping something to myself for well over 15 years, and up until a few weeks ago I
had determined that I was going to keep this to myself forever.

But I've had a change of heart on this matter. I won't go into the reasons why here. I will leave
that for you to discover if you're interested. Suffice to say, this is one of my most cherished
secrets and I'm actually very happy that I have decided to set it loose.

While what I am releasing here does use business cards, it does not absolutely require a Sight
Unseen Case. That said, it is highly recommended, which is why I am coming to you. In fact
most of what is contained in this new release relates directly to the use of the SUC. There hasn't
been anything like this in the literature in well over 70 years. It has been all but forgotten, and it
has been a cherished 'pet' of mine for a very long time.

This is a valuable addition to the SUC lexicon, and one that you are certain to treasure.

What is it?
A Pocket Full of Phantasms
by Mark Strivings

Like nothing you've ever experienced before!

This is a miniature séance, a séance that you carry in your shirt pocket!

Using nothing more than a few business cards and a pencil, you can bring the your intimate
audience up close and very personal with the spirits.

The spirits answer your questions.

The spirits leave you with a materialized token of their visit.

The spirits commune with other spirits.

The spirits leave a sweet taste in your mouth (literally!)

The spirits knock on the table.

And you, along with your audience, get to be a witness.


This is a complete spirit séance that you can carry in your shirt pocket.

Keep in mind that all of this happens with nothing other than what is seen in your hands. There
are no hidden gimmicks or gaffs, nothing to carry other than the single unit of business cards
and pencil used in this séance.

This entire séance is beyond merely simple to perform. You can concentrate entirely on your
performance as medium.

There is no secret writing, yet the spirits produce writing, answering your sitters questions.

But there's more…

If you've got a Sight Unseen Case you've got even more options! Use your own business cards,
your SUC and a pencil and you've got a full-blown visit with the spirits that you can do literally
just about anywhere.

If you are a bizarre magickian or spirit performer this miniature séance is the perfect companion
to your SUC. But be advised, the SUC is not required to perform this séance. Complete
instruction on how to do this with just a stack of business cards and a pencil is included, and it's
killer! But if you've got an SUC you owe it to yourself to check out the possibilities that this
amazing miniature séance presents to you.

This is an important addition to the Sight Unseen Case lexicon of materials and one that you
need in your library. It’s all fully described in well over 50 pages, comb bound in card covers. It
can be all yours for the paltry sum of…

I have an almost unhealthy obsession with a very simple plot, and over the years I have
published a small handful of solutions. But of all the solutions that I have come up with for this
plot, the one used here is my all-time favorite.

What plot is it?

Predicting the outcome of five random events. All five events are the same, but they can each
come out one of two different ways. In this case, a simple coin flip.

So here's a very nifty effect that is custom designed to go with your SUC, either model. The
effect is straight forward and easy to do.

The performer displays a small envelope contained inside his business card case. This is left in
plain sight. A spectator volunteers a coin and it is flipped in the air five times, noting how many
times heads and tails each come up. When everything is said and done, the envelope is
removed from the business card case and shown to contain a small white card. Written plainly
and clearly is the outcome of those five random coin flips!

50/50 Times 5
by Mark Strivings
This miracle is crazy-easy to do and so clean it squeaks.

A few points to keep in mind:

Nothing is added or taken away.

Incredibly easy to do.

No secret writing of any kind.

Quick reset.

Take it out of your pocket and do it.

No hidden gimmicks of any kind, although you do need an SUC to perform this.

The card and envelope can be used over and over.

Any coin can be used, including novelty coins (this opens up a whole world of presentational
possibilities!)

This uses a new handling of a principle that I introduced to the fraternity a couple years ago that
is devious as can be, and makes the working of this little miracle so simple it's almost criminal.

It comes complete with everything that you will need, supply your own marking pen. Includes my
complete routine and full instructions. It can all be yours for only...

FAQ’s about the SUC -

Q. Does the SUC work as a ‘card in wallet’?


A. The SUC is specifically designed as a business card case, not a regular wallet. As such it is
designed to hold business cards, which are a bit smaller than regular playing cards. That
being said, bridge size cards do fit in the SUC. Poker size cards are a bit too large to be
really practical, although they DO fit, snugly.
Q. Is the SUC available in any other colors?
A. At this time there are no plans to release the SUC in any color other than black. Many
years ago the SUC was offered in a burgundy color as well as black, and perhaps
someday, if there is sufficient interest, we will pursue that once again. But for there
foreseeable future the only color will be black for both models of the case.

Q. Are the metal reinforced corners available in any color other than a gold (brass) color?
A. The reinforced corners on the case are available only in brass and are not available in a
nickel silver color. Trust me, guys, no one cares if the corners match your personal
accessories. Jeeez. (Yes, I really HAVE been asked this question, more than once.)

Q. Can the SUC be handled by a spectator?


A. I hand mine to spectators all the time. Obviously I only do this in situations where it is
completely safe to do so and I place no heat on the case whatsoever. But the case can be
casually handled by your spectator without fear of anything being found amiss.

Q. How ‘invisible’ is the peek on the SUC?


A. ALL peeks, no matter how they are being done, require that the performer actually look
directly at the image that is being peeked. Just as is true of any peek, if a spectator is in a
position to basically see what you are seeing, and if there is not sufficient misdirection
being used they will be able to see what you are seeing. This is true of any device or peek
of any kind. There is no truly invisible peek in and of itself. All peeks require that the
performer use audience management skills, misdirection, verbal cues and more to cover
the action.

Q. How much of the image can be peeked using the SUC?


A. Roughly 80-85% of the business card can be plainly visible when it is in peek position.
Getting a spectator to write or draw on the card in such a way that you can easily see
everything is a very simple task, and there are endless means to accomplish this, some of
which are detailed in the accompanying manuscript.

Q. Can the case be handled by a spectator when a business card is in peek position?
A. It is possible, but your audience managements skills need to be very good. In the right
situation and with proper motivation and misdirection there is no problem, however.

Q. Which one is better? The original SUC or the Generation II?


A. Neither. The only difference between the two cases is the addition of two extra pockets
inside the Generation II. That’s it. Absolutely nothing else. No other functions. No other
hidden goodies. Two extra pockets and that’s all. What these extra pockets allow for,
mostly, is extra storage space. Meaning simply, you can carry a bit more stuff in your case.
If you are one to carry loads of individual effects that are flat and extremely portable, the
Generation II might be a good one for you purely because you can have a bit of extra
storage space inside it. By that same token, I can tell you for a fact that performer’s like
Garrett Thomas use the original SUC exclusively because he wants to be able to easily
show that there is nothing inside the case except for his prediction (or whatever). Having
extra pockets means slowing things down in performance to do the extra proving. So take
your pick. Both versions of the SUC work exactly the same way. In fact I know of many
performers who use both versions of the case, each for a different reason like what Garrett
does, as well as having a case that has extra stuff in it.
Q. Does the SUC look ‘gimmicky’?
A. The SUC is patterned directly after an actual business card case, purchased right off the
shelf from a local office supplies emporium. It is the exact same size and style. Obviously
there is some modification from what I purchased off the shelf, but there is absolutely
nothing that looks out of place in any way. It can be viewed from any angle and it looks
completely normal. There are tons of guys literally all over the world who use their SUC as
their everyday business card case. It looks perfectly at home in any business or social
situation and will never, ever raise even the slightest suspicion. It’s practically invisible it is
so normal looking. See the pics included with this write up.

Got any other questions? By all means give me a shout. I’m happy to answer them.
