The Blurb
HAPPENSTANCE has been a part of Eric’s repertoire for a long time, and for good reason:
It’s a WORKER. This is a FIFTY PAGE physical booklet that teaches you how to take a commonly-neglected prop in magic and turn it into a powerful and memorable tool of mental destruction.
Once you learn Eric’s full professional routine, you’ll know how to effectively divine the spectator’s choice of card, cause them to name the EXACT position of that same card in a ribbon spread with NO manipulation and THEY THEMSELVES will prove that it was all in the cards to begin with when the selection ends up on top of a freely named packet IN THEIR HANDS!
The best part? It resets INSTANTLY.
The booklet even goes so far as to describe THREE DIFFERENT alternate endings including one option where you can hand out your business card to EVERYONE and ANYONE you perform this for without fear of someone saying “No thanks”.

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is obviously a young magician’s publication and, though the routine using a common special deck is put together nicely, there is nothing original and it could have been improved greatly by talking to others with experience in using this common special deck. As is, I have a hard time recommending this.
