While the previous section represented the last of the sleight-of-hand stuff, this last section is for some miscellaneous self-working tricks.

Here’s something that was originally written up for JACK that I decided I’d rather have here.

The final chapter on sleight-of-hand covers that most vexing of moves, the pass. We’ll dive into the technique explanations first and then talk more about the move itself later.

Alright, I guess it’s time.

In many ways the techniques taught here are easier than what’s come before, but the nerve required to pull them off is no joke. This move, arguably more than any other move in card magic, will show you what sleight-of-hand is really all about.

As we move into the final stretch of the book, we come into some advanced techniques. First up is the palm, easily one of the more intimidating moves out there.

Not much when it comes to tricks for this entry — the emphasis will be on adding techniques that will be useful for the tricks you’ve learned thus far, as well as some that you’ll learn later.

Up next is arguably one of the most powerful moves in card magic. Unfortunately, it’s also pretty overused, and in the case of Royal Road, not as well-taught as it could be.

Here is where things start to get really exciting. Get ready, young padawan, to learn the ways of the force.

At this point we leave behind moves that have noticeable external realities and start looking into moves that are much more secretive. If it’s not clear what I mean by that, here’s the idea…

If we were to separate the JACK into “beginner”, “intermediate” and “advanced” sections, this might be considered the last of the beginner sections. That may seem a bit weird considering…
