You teach any spectator to read minds.

Spectators cause cards to float out from the deck, and even rise inside the card case.

You divine a secret drawing while it is still face-down on the table.

The lazy man's Triumph effect – it's virtually sleight-free.

A coin trick without coins.

Spectators throw a number of imaginary dice – you have predicted the total.

Someone thinks of any word among dozens in a newspaper, and you divine it without any questions.

You can read cards even when they're still in the card case.

The words on two spectator's business cards spell out chosen cards.

A card trick without cards.

A coin is dropped into a goblet and disappears, to appear anywhere you like.

Paul Curry's?Out of this World?- but with a borrowed and shuffled deck.

The ultimate Card at any Number: Spectators do all their own shuffling and dealing.

The holy grail of diary tricks: with a borrowed, shuffled deck.

What they say about?The Magic Gourmet:

If you are looking for a stimulating book of magic, mostly but not entirely involving cards, a book which consists of tricks which will take a bit of work but are worth it, I highly recommend Lewis Jones's The

Magic Gourmet.

- Matthew Field (Magic Circular, January 2008)

This book has something, actually a lot, for most magicians. It is a pleasant read, has many photographs, contains world-class close-up magic, and it is all easy to do! Highly recommended.

- Paul A. Lelekis (The Linking Ring, January 2008)

And about other titles -

I highly recommend the Lewis Jones set of card books … I know that most magicians will go through life performing the same six or seven tricks … Me too, but I have added several to my permanent performance range, thanks to Lewis.

- Paul Daniels

Do not buy these books. They give away too many secrets.

- Penn and Teller

Lewis Jones really does ponder his subject at length. In this respect I am reminded of Paul Curry and Stewart James … His thoughtful and analytical approach is not at all out of place in such company.

- Al Smith (Abra)

Back in 2001, I was sharply chastized for mentioning Lewis Jones, then a little-known British card genius whose manuscripts were closely guarded by those fortunate to have acquired them … For those unfamiliar with Lewis Jones, he is an original of the stripe of Jerry Andrus, Simon Aronson, and Lennart Green. In Jones' case, his originality lies in a depth of thinking that leads to why-didn't-I-think-of-that sleights or to devilishly clever mathematical (often self-working) mysteries. Jones' trick descriptions will tantalize you. They read like dealer ads, yet, unlike many dealer ads, they deliver on their promises.

- Steve Bryant (Little Egypt Magic)

Lewis Jones is one of the great creative minds in magic. He specialises in close-up card magic with an ungaffed deck, placing the emphasis on ingenuity rather than sleights … Lewis has a remarkable mind, which, allied to a profound knowledge of existing card methodology, comes up with alarmingly baffling plots and equally deceptive methods.

- Ian Rowland

I was reminded of the creations of Stewart James.

- Michael Close (Magic)

Among authors of card magic, Lewis is easily in my top ten. His approach is off the wall and his results are out of this world.
