AS I BEGAN TO WORK MY WAY THROUGH LITERALLY HUNDEREDS OF UNRE­LEASED DANIEL MADISON EFFECTS I DISCOVERED A FEW THINGS , THE FIRSTBEING MY OWN SURPRISE AND UNDERESTIMATION OF THE MAN HIMSELFAND THE SECOND A REALISIATION THAT HE MUST ACTUALLY SHIT IDEASAND CREATE IN HIS SLEEP, BUT NOT NECESARILY AT THE SAME TIME .

THE FOURTH BOOK I READ , WAS PARIAH; I SIMPLY HAD TO GET IT OUTTHERE . THE FIRST TIME I PERFORMED THE EFFECT I FELT LIKE A GOD, IFMINDREADING WERE REAL, THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE .WITH RELUCTANT PERMISSION FROM DANIEL MADISON I HAVE REVAMPEDTHE BOOK - WRITTEN IN 2004 . I HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH , ONLYBROUGHT IT UP-TO-DATE AND MADE THE PAGES SOFTER ON THE EYE ANDRE-SHOT PHOTOS OF D.

THROUGH MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED AN EFFECT ON THE MARKET THATACHIEVES THE SAME AS PARIAH TAKEN AND WAS SHOCKED TO DISCOVERUPON MAKING THE PURCHASE THAT I HAD PURCHASED A SOLID ANDQUITE FLAWED DEVICE, WHICH COST 4 TIMES AS MUCH AS PARIAH .

I'M CONFIDENT TO SAY THAT THIS BOOK WILL STAND TO ATTENTION INLEAGUE WITH THE ADVOCATE .

WELCOME TO PARIAH .

1=11=11=11 1=11-1BY DANIELMADISONINTRODUCTION

IN THE EYES OF THE SPECTATOR, THE MAGICIAN IS AN UNKNOWN , ONE INTOUCH WITH SOMETHING UNKNOWN , SOMETHING THAT SHOULD ALWAYSBE REINFORCED BY THE EFFECTS WITH WHICH HE CHOOSES TO PORTRAYHIS ART.

IN AN EVERLASTING TRIAL FOR THE FAIREST OF PERFORMANCES I DISCOV­ERED AN IDEA FOR A DEVICE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR THE FAIRESTPOSSIBLE GLIMPSE OF A FREELY SELECTED PLAYING CARD, THROUGH THEATTEMPTS TO PERFECT ITS CREATION I DEVELOPED SOMETHING MOREPOWERFUL THAN MY ORIGINAL PLAN ; MY CREATION HAD BECOME AFORCE UNTO ITSELF.

ALTHOUGH THIS IDEA HAS EXISTED BEFORE, I AM YET TO DISCOVER ADEVICE OR METHOD AS CLEAN , SIMPLE OR AFFORDABLE AS PARIAH . MY RE­SEARCH AND STUDY LEAD ME TO A FEW SIMILAR PRODUCTS, WHICH I HAVEPURCHASED AND PLAYED WITH AND AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO OFFERPARIAH , NOT AS A CONTENDER OR OPPONENT, BUT A VERY AFFORDABLEALTERNATIVE WHICH HOSTS MANY MORE POSSIBILITIES, THOSE OF WHICH IFEEL DESERVE ATTENTION HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS BOOK FOR YOURPRACTICES AND PERFORMANCES.

AS ALWAYS I HAVE OFFERED ONLY THE PRINCIPAL, CONCEPT AND IDEA ASTO INFLUENCE ORIGINALITY IN YOUR PERFORMANCE. ANY LIKENESS TOANY OTHER PRODUCTS ARE PURELY COINCIDENTAL AS I NAVER CLAIM TOHAVE INVENTED, ONLY DISCOVERED UPON MY OWN PRACTICES ON THEOUTSIDE OF THE MAGIC INDUSTRY.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER SECRET. THIS IS PARIAH .

USING A CRAFT KNIFE, CUT THE BOTTOM OF A CARD BOX TO CREATE AFLAP AS IN IMAGE02 BELOW. FOLD IN THE OPEN FLAP A FEW TIMES TOLOOSEN IT, IDEALLY YOU WANT THE BOX TO APPEAR NORMAL WHEN THECARDS ARE INSIDE AND THIS SECRET FLAP IS CLOSED.

NOW THAT YOUR BOX IS READY, ASIDE FROM THE JOKERS , CUT THECORNER OFF OF EACH CARD, DON 'T CUT TOO MUCH , JUST ENOUGH TOCUT OFF THE INDEX VALUE AND PIP. IMAGEO I SHOWS A FINISHED PARIAHDECK.

THE TWO UN-CUT JOKERS ARE NOW PLACED ON TOP TO COVER/HIDE THECUT-OFF CORNER AND THEN THE DECK IS PLACED IN THE DECK - CUT­END FIRST.

AS THE BACK OF THE BOX IS SECRETLY OPEN , YOU 'LL HAVE TO KEEP A GRIPON THE CARDS WHEN HANDLING THEM IN THE BOX TO ENSURE THAT THEYDO NOT FORCE THE BACK FLAP OPEN .

AS THIS IS A DEVICE, IT WILL NOT BE USED AS THE PERFORMANCE DECK SOYOU WILL NEED ANOTHER DECK OF THE SAME COLOR AND DESIGN .

IF YOU TAKE A RANDOM CARD FROM YOUR PERFORMANCE DECK ANDSLIDE IT INTO THE PARIAH DEVICE, ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE TOP, YOUWILL BE ABLE TO SECRETLY OPEN THE FLAP AT THE BACK AND CATCH AGLIMPSE OF THE REGULAR CARD AS IN IMAGE02 ABOVE . THIS CAN BE VERYQUICKLY AS YOU CLOSE THE BOX BEFORE PUTTING THE BOX ON THE TABLEOR IN YOUR POCKET.

IDEALLY YOU 'LL BE WEARING A SUIT JACKET BUT IT ISN 'T ENTIRELYCALLED FOR , HOWEVER I WILL CONTINUE TO EXPLAIN FOR THOSEWEARING SUIT JACKETS, THOSE WHO ARE NOT WILL BE ABLE TO USE THEIRBACK POCKET.

(iiil1=I 1=11 I=II-t INSIDE

~r=l1=I1 r=lI-I I N SI D E

WITH THE PARIAH DEVICE RESTING IN YOUR OUTSIDE SUIT JACKETPOCKET WITH THE LID OPEN YOU WILL NEED TO PERFORM THE EFFECTWITH A REGULAR DECK OF THE SAME BRAND, COLOR, SIZE ETC.

HAND THE BOXED DECK TO THE SPECTATOR AND INVITE THEM TO REMOVETHE CARDS , THEY WILL HAND THE BOX TO YOU . ASK THE SPECTATOR TOSHUFFLE THE CARDS AND MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING ' DO DGY' ABOUTTHEM .

HAVE THE SPECTATOR MERELY THINK OF A CARD AND THEN FIND IT IN THEDECK AND REMOVE IT.

I WANT THIS T BE AS FAIR AS POSSIBLE, SO AS YOU LOOK FOR THE CARDI 'LL TURN AWAY

ONCE THE CARD IS SELECTED , TAKE THE CARDS BACK AND PLACE THEMINTO THE BOX BEFORE HAN DONG THE SPECTATOR A MARKR PEN. INVITETHE SPECTATOR TO TAG THE CARD WITH THEIR NAME.

AS YOU TURN AWAY SO THAT YOU DO NOT SEE THE CARD, TAKE THEBOXED DECK TO YOUR POCKET - THE SAME POCKET IN WHICH YOU AREHOLDING THE PARIAH DEVICE - AND SWITCH IT FOR THE PARIAH .

PULL ALL OF THE CARDS OUT ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY AND ASK THESPECTATOR TO SLIDE THEIR CARD INTO THE DECK ANYWHERE , THEN ASKTHEM TO PUSH ALL OF THE CARDS INTO THE BOX. AS THEY DO THIS , YOUWILL HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THE BACK FLAP IS FIRMLY AGAINST YOURHAND. ONCE THE CARD IS INSIDE YOU CAN CLOSE THE LID , AS YOU AREDOING SO YOU ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIFT THE FLAP AT THEBACK AND IDENTIFY THE SELECTED CARD.

THE BOX IS THEN PLACED ON THE SURFACE - FACE UP AND THE MIND­READING OF YOUR CHOICE BEGINS .

ONCE DONE, YOU ARE FREE TO REMOVE THE CARDS FROM THE DECK ANDSCAN THROUGH THEM SO THAT THE SPECTATOR CANNOT SEE THE FACES,THE CUTS WILL BE HIDDEN BY THE SPREAD, ONCE YOU HAVE TAKEN THESELECTED CARD OUT YOU CAN SWITCH BACK TO THE REGULAR DECK .

(iiil1=I 1=11 I=II-t INSIDE

~I=II=II 1=11-1 OUTSIDE

DUE TO THE FLAP AT THE BACK OF THE BOX AND THE CUT OFF CORNER OFTHE DECK YOU ARE OFFERED AN EXIT FOR THE SELECTED CARD.

PLACE A REGULAR CARD ANYWHERE IN THE PARIAH DEVICE AND TAKE THEDECK TO YOUR INSIDE JACKET POCKET. AS THE DECK APPROACHES YOURPOCKET YOU CAN GLIMPSE THE CARD. AS SOON AS THE DECK GOES OUTOF SIGHT YOU CAN CLIP THE SELECTED CARD BETWEEN FINGERS I AND 2AS IN IMAGE03 , THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DROP THE DECK TO YOURPOCKET, THE DECK WILL FALL AWAY LEAVING NOTHING BUT THE SELECTEDCARD IN YOUR HAND.

AS YOU FAKE PUSHING THE DECK INTO YOUR POCKET YOU CANMANEUVER THE CARD INTO A CLASSIC PALM AND BRING YOURAPPARENTLY EMPTY HAND BACK, THIS CAN THEN BE USED FOR A NUMBEROF EFFECTS.

THIS SAME TECHNIQUE CAN EASILY BE ACHIEVED WITH ANOTHER POCKET,YOUR SIDE-JACKET POCKET OR THE BACK POCKET OF YOUR JEANS ,HOWEVER THE HANDLING WILL CHANGE SLIGHTLY AS YOU WILL HAVE TOTAKE THE CARD FROM THE DEVICE WITH A GRIP BETWEEN YOUR THUMBAND FINGER I ONCE THE DECK IS IN YOUR POCKET.

ONCE YOU HAVE PALMED THE CARD THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYSYOU CAN CONTINUE AND MANY INTERESTING EFFECTS CAN BE ACHIEVEDWITH THIS .. .

~I=II=II 1=11-1 ENVELOPE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN , PLACE A SEALED ENVELOPE - BIGGER THAN A CARD ­ON THE SURFACE AND DON 'T MENTION IT UNTIL THE END.

PERFORM PARIAH OUTSIDE. DROP THE PARIAH DEVICE INTO THE SAMEPOCKET AS THE SWITCHED DECK AND ONCE THE SELECTED CARD ISPALMED, LIFT UP THE ENVELOPE AND PLACE IT ON TOP OF THE PALMEDCARD SO THAT THE CARD CAN BE HELD COMFORTABLY AND SECRETLYUNDER IT.

IMMEDIATELY RIP THE ENVELOPE OPEN AND TAKE OUT THE CARD MAKINGSURE IT'S FACE DOWN , YOU CAN EXPLAIN THIS AS A PREDICTION CARDAND PLACE THE TORN ENVELOPE BACK DOWN WITH THE CARD SAT ONTOP OF IT.

GO BACK TO THE POCKET TO GET THE REGULAR DECK AND ASK THESPECTATOR TO KEEP HOLD OF IT - YOU CAN NOW BEGIN YOUR MIND­READING .

I MUCH PREFER TO RIP THE ENVELOPE AT THE BEGINNING AS SOON AS THECARD IS LOADED BELOW IT, THIS WAY, WHEN THE SPECTATOR BACK ­TRACKS LOGIC WILL TELL THEM THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT THECARD COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE DECK AND LOADED INTOTHE ENVELOPE IN THAT SHORT OF TIME , AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN THEYCHECK THE DECK THEIR CARD WILL BE MISSING AS IT WAS INITIALLYSELECTED FROM THAT DECK.

AS PER USUAL, I RESPECT YOUR PERFORMANCE INTEGRITY BY ALLOWINGFOR YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE PATTER AND STYLE .

(iiil1=I 1=11 I=II-t ENVELOPE

~I=II=II 1=11-1 TELE

BEFORE THE SPECTATOR DECIDES ON A CARD, ASK THEM TO REMOVE ANYFOUR CARDS AND PLACE THEM FACE DOWN ON THE SURFACE, IT DOESN 'TMATTER WHICH CARDS ARE CHOSEN .

INVITE THE SPECTATOR TO SELECT A CARD TO SIGN AND RETURN TO THEBOXED (PA RIA H) DECK. ONCE THE CARD IS PALMED, THE FOUR RANDOMCARDS ON THE SURFACE ARE PICKED UP AND PASSED TO THE SPECTATORTO KEEP HOLD OF, IN THIS MOMENT THE PALMED SELECTION IS ADDED TOTHE FOUR CARDS .

YOU CAN DO A FAKE COUNT TO SHOW FOUR CARDS. RETRIEVE THENORMAL DECK FROM YOUR POCKET AND HOLD IT IN AN OPEN PALM ANDWITH YOUR OTHER HAND SNAP YOUR FINGERS OVER THE TOP OF IT, YOUCAN THEN POINT TO THE CARDS HELD BY THE SPECTATOR AND ASK THEMTO COUNT THE CARDS , AT THIS POINT THEY WILL DISCOVER FIVE CARDS .

AT THIS POINT THE DECK CAN BE CHECKED.

(iiil1=I 1=11 I=II-t TE LE

~I=II=II 1=11-1 SEALED

YOU 'LL NEED ANOTHER NEW DECK OF THE SAME SIZE BUT DIFFERENTBRAND AND COLOR. WITH THIS DECK YOU WILL NOT BREAK THE SEALBUT CAN REMOVE THE CELLOPHANE.

USING THE CRAFT KNIFE, FORCE THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX OPEN . USINGWHITE-TACK OR DOUBLE -SIDED TAPE , APPLY A LITTLE TO WHITE FLAP SOTHAT IT IS READY TO BE RESEALED . CREASE BOTH OF THESE FLAPS SO THATTHEY ARE WIDE OPEN . THIS DECK WILL SIT IN YOUR FREE POCKET WITHTHE OPEN END FACING UPWARD.

ONCE YOU HAVE PALMED THE CARD FROM THE PARIAH DEVICE , PALM IT TOTHE FREE POCKET AND WORK IT ANYWHERE INTO THE NEW DECK, ONCEIN , CLOSE THE FLAPS AND REMOVE THE BOX FROM YOUR POCKETEXPLAINING THAT IT IS STILL SEALED , AS YOU DISPLAY THIS YOUHAVE FURTHER TIME TO ADD PRESSURE TO THE BACK MAKING SURE THATIT IS SEALED CORRECTLY AT THE BACK.

AS YOU INVITE THEM TO BREAK THE SEAL AND REMOVE THE CARDS YOUCAN REMOVE THE REGULAR DECK FROM YOUR POCKET. THE SPECTATORCAN REVEAL THEIR CARD IN THE NEW DECK.

BY NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE PURPOSEOF THE DEVICE AND WITH GOOD PRACTICE YOU 'LL FIND A COMFORTABLEPERFORMANCE.

HERE ARE SOME MORE IDEAS WITH THIS CONCEPT WHICH YOU MAYPREFER...

(iiil1=I 1=11 I=II-t SEALED

~I=II=II 1=11-1 AMENDMENTS

THE FIRST IMAGE BELOW SHOWS AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEVICE WHICHOFFERS A SAFER GLIMPSE WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED TO OPEN THE FLAP.SIMPLY CUT THE SAME CORNER OFF OF THE BACK-BOTTOM OF THE BOX TOMATCH THE DECK.

WHEN THE CARD IS RETURNED TO THE DECK, YOU WILL TAKE THE BOX TOYOUR INSIDE JACKET POCKET, AS YOU DO THIS, THE BOX WILL BE HELD ASBELOW OFFERING YOU A FULL VIEW OF THE INDEX. AS YOU DUMP THE BOXIN YOUR POCKET YOU HAVE MORE ROOM FOR PURCHASE ON THESELECTED CARD ALLOWING IT TO BE TAKEN FROM THE BOX WITH EASE.

(iii 1=1 1=11 I=II-t AM EN DM ENTS

THIS WON 'T BE FOR EVERYBODY BUT HAS BEENDESIGNED FOR THE MENTALIST.

CUT EVERY CARD IN THE DECK APART FROM THEJOKERS TO MAKE AN L SHAPE AS IN THE IMAGEBELOW. THE BOTTOM INDEX END IS ABOUT 3CMAND THE EDGE BORDER IS CUT TO ABOUT I CM .THE JOKERS ARE PLACED ON TOP TO COVER THECUT OUT.

CUT THE BOX SO THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME FLAPAT THE BACK AS WITH DEVICE ONE. ADDITION­ALLY YOU 'LL NEED TO CUT DOWN THE INDEXEDGE BY ABOUT 4CM .

PLACE THE CARDS IN THE BOX - CUT OUT FIRST- AND PLACE A REGULAR CARD IN THE DECKANYWHERE . THE FLAP ON THE BACK - FLAP 2 ­WILL ALLOW YOU TO GLIMPSE MOST OF THE FACEOF THE SELECTED CARD. THIS ALLOWS FOR ANEDGE ON PERFORMANCE .. .

ONCE THE CARD IS SELECTED, ASK THESPECTATOR TO THINK OF ANY WORD AND WRITETHIS WORD ON THE FACE OF THE CARD. THEGLIMPSE WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEE THE SELECTEDCARD AND THE WORD WRITTEN UPON IT.

TO GET THE PERFECT GLIMPSE , AS YOU CLOSE THEBOX, UPON FLAP 2 AS YOU PLACE THE BOX ONTHE SURFACE SO THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY THECARD AND WORD, THEN TAKE THE BOX ANDPLACE IT IN YOUR POCKET AS TO ENSURE NODECEPTION .

AFTER THE PERFORMANCE YOU CAN REMOVE THEREGULAR DECK FROM THE SAME POCKET, AS YOUDO SO, REMOVE THE SELECTED CARD FROM THEPARIAH DEVICE AND POSITION IT BEHIND THEREGULAR DECK, YOU CAN THEN REMOVE ALLCARDS FROM THE BOX AND SLIDE THE SELECTEDCARD UNDER THE CARDS FROM THE BOX ANDCUT IT TO THE MIDDLE.

(iiil1=I 1=11 I=II-t L FRAME

~r=lI=IIr=lI-I DPS

WITH DPS YOU WILL NOT NEED TO AMEND THE DECK IN ANY WAY ORPERFORM ANY DECK SWITCHING , THIS DEVICE IS MADE FROM THE BOX.

THE IMAGE BELOW SHOWS THE DEVICE. THE LEFT SIDE HAS BEEN REMOVED.THE BOTTOM HAS ALSO BEEN REMOVED APART FROM I CM AT THE BOTTOMRIGHT, THIS WILL KEEP THE BOX FROM COMPLETELY UNFOLDING AND ISVITAL TO THE EXTRACTION AND FLASH OF THE SELECTED CARD, THIS PARTOF THE BOX MAY NEED TO BE REINFORCED BY CLEAR TAPE TO ENSURETHAT IT WILL NOT BREAK OPEN .

THROUGHOUT HANDLING THIS DEVICE YOU CANNOT ALLOW THESPECTATOR TO SEE THE OPEN SIDES OF THE BOX AS THE BOX HAS TOAPPEAR LEGIT. YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT IN SOME MIRROR PRACTICE TO BEAWARE OF YOUR ANGLES WHEN PERFORMING .

REMOVE THE CARDS FROM THE BOX AND PLACE THE BOX IN YOUR POCKET,ONCE A CARD HAS BEEN FREELY SELECTED , ASK THE SPECTATOR TO SIGNTHE CARD, AS THEY DO SO, RETRIEVE THE BOX AND REPLACE ALL CARDS TOTHE BOX. TAKE THE SIGNED SELECTION AND SLIDE IT INTO THE OPEN BOXANYWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DECK, IT IS AS THIS POINT WHERE YOUWILL PERFORM A MODIFIED DIAGONAL PALM SHIFT.

~r=lI=IIr=lI-I DPS

STAGE I :AS THE CARD IS PUSHED INTO THE BOX, FINGER I SHIFTS IT TO THE SIDE ASIN IMAGEO I . THE CARD WILL STOP AT THE BOTTOM CUT-OFF FLAP,LOOKING AT THE TOP OF THE DECK, THE CARD WILL APPEAR TO BE LOST INTHE DECK ALLOWING FOR THE BOX LID TO BE CLOSED. IMAGE02 EXPOSESTHE IDEAL POSITION OF THE CARD AT THIS POINT.

STAGE 2:WITH THE DECK HELD IN MECHANICS GRIP, THE SELECTED CARD WILLCONNECT WITH THE PAD OF YOUR THUMB AS IN IMAGE02, THIS WILL ALSOHIDE THE CARD. THE FREE HAND COMES OVER THE TOP AND THE FREE­HAND-THUMB CONNECTS WITH THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE SELECTEDCARD AS INIMAGE02. THE SELECTED CARD IS NOW SWUNG OUT TO THESIDE ALLOWING IT TO CLEAR THE BOTTOM FLAP, THE CARD IS NOWSQUARED UP AT THE TOP LEAVING THE CARD IN POSITION AS IN IMAGE03 .YOU CAN NOW TILT THE DECK SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE INDEX BEFORESQUARING THE CARD BACK INTO THE DECK AS YOU PUT THE DECK INYOUR POCKET OR ON THE SURFACE.

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE CARD FROM THE DECK YOU WILL LEAVE THECARD PROTRUDING AS IN IMAGE03 AND PALM AS YOU DROP THE DECK TOYOUR POCKET OR PLACE ON A SURFACE.
