Side Stebbin by Mystic Alexandre

An improvement on the Si Stebbins stack.

This was one of my first offerings to the magic and mentalism community back in 2002! It solves the noticeable alternating color pattern problem of the original Si Stebbins stack while allowing you to continue to perform every effect you've always performed with this incredibly easy stack. You will no longer be afraid to show the faces of the cards while performing.

This PDF includes ...

Plus three playing card effects using the stack.

SEE EYE A: Demonstrate a keen observation technique allegedly used by the CIA.

ALIEN'S LASTING IMPRESSION: A reading technique learned during a metaphysical convention allows the performer to gather information from the palm of a subject's hand. To avoid getting personal information, the performer has a secret playing card placed face-down on the subject's hand.

UNIO MENTALIS: The performer has received a strange package with a strange knife and a letter detailing a precognitive experiment to be carried out with a young woman in the audience.
