A returning contributor to the magazine, Bill Citino shares his routine Making a Difference, a new variation of a Scott Robinson routine.
A Nightmare in Red and Blue by Scott Baird, which is an improved handling of an old Don Nielson and Karl Fulves trick from Pallbearer's Review. I also teach my Flash Ribbon effect later in the issue.

Brandon Sheffield returns to share a clever handling of a classic transposition with Lucky Coin and Purse.
Chris Bruce shares a fantastic gambling demo with five phases of skill.
