AS I BEGAN TO WORK MY WAY THROUGH LITERALLY HUNDEREDS OF UNRE-

LEASED DANIEL MADISON EFFECTS I DISCOVERED A FEW THINGS , THE FIRST
BEING MY OWN SURPRISE AND UNDERESTIMATION OF THE MAN HIMSELF
AND THE SECOND A REALISIATION THAT HE MUST ACTUALLY SHIT IDEAS
AND CREATE IN HIS SLEEP, BUT NOT NECESARILY AT THE SAME TIME .

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

THROUGH MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED AN EFFECT ON THE MARKET THAT

ACHIEVES THE SAME AS PARIAH TAKEN AND WAS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER
UPON MAKING THE PURCHASE THAT I HAD PURCHASED A SOLID AND
QUITE FLAWED DEVICE , WHICH COST 4 TIMES AS MUCH AS PARIAH .

I'M CONFIDENT TO SAY THAT THIS BOOK WILL STAND TO ATTENTION IN

LEAGUE WITH THE ADVOCATE .

WELCOME TO PARIAH .

INTRODUCTION

IN THE EYES OF THE SPECTATOR , THE MAGICIAN IS AN UNKNOWN , ONE IN

TOUCH WITH SOMETHING UNKNOWN , SOMETHING THAT SHOULD ALWAYS
BE REINFORCED BY THE EFFECTS WITH WHICH HE CHOOSES TO PORTRAY
HIS ART.

IN AN EVERLASTING TRIAL FOR THE FAIREST OF PERFORMANCES I DISCOV-

ERED AN IDEA FOR A DEVICE , WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR THE FAIREST
POSSIBLE GLIMPSE OF A FREELY SELECTED PLAYING CARD, THROUGH THE
ATTEMPTS TO PERFECT ITS CREATION I DEVELOPED SOMETHING MORE
POWERFUL THAN MY ORIGINAL PLAN ; MY CREATION HAD BECOME A
FORCE UNTO ITSELF.

ALTHOUGH THIS IDEA HAS EXISTED BEFORE , I AM YET TO DISCOVER A

DEVICE OR METHOD AS CLEAN , SIMPLE OR AFFORDABLE AS PARIAH . MY RE-
SEARCH AND STUDY LEAD ME TO A FEW SIMILAR PRODUCTS , WHICH I HAVE
PURCHASED AND PLAYED WITH AND AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO OFFER
PARIAH , NOT AS A CONTENDER OR OPPONENT, BUT A VERY AFFORDABLE
ALTERNATIVE WHICH HOSTS MANY MORE POSSIBILITIES , THOSE OF WHICH I
FEEL DESERVE ATTENTION HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THIS BOOK FOR YOUR
PRACTICES AND PERFORMANCES .

AS ALWAYS I HAVE OFFERED ONLY THE PRINCIPAL , CONCEPT AND IDEA AS

TO INFLUENCE ORIGINALITY IN YOUR PERFORMANCE . ANY LIKENESS TO
ANY OTHER PRODUCTS ARE PURELY COINCIDENTAL AS I NAVER CLAIM TO
HAVE INVENTED, ONLY DISCOVERED UPON MY OWN PRACTICES ON THE
OUTSIDE OF THE MAGIC INDUSTRY.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER SECRET. THIS IS PARIAH .

(iiiI 1=1 1=11 1=11....

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

USING A CRAFT KNIFE , CUT THE BOTTOM OF A CARD BOX TO CREATE A

FLAP AS IN IMAGE02 BELOW. FOLD IN THE OPEN FLAP A FEW TIMES TO
LOOSEN IT, IDEALLY YOU WANT THE BOX TO APPEAR NORMAL WHEN THE
CARDS ARE INSIDE AND THIS SECRET FLAP IS CLOSED.

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

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

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

AS THIS IS A DEVICE , IT WILL NOT BE USED AS THE PERFORMANCE DECK SO

YOU WILL NEED ANOTHER DECK OF THE SAME COLOR AND DESIGN .

IF YOU TAKE A RANDOM CARD FROM YOUR PERFORMANCE DECK AND

SLIDE IT INTO THE PARIAH DEVICE , ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE TOP, YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO SECRETLY OPEN THE FLAP AT THE BACK AND CATCH A
GLIMPSE OF THE REGULAR CARD AS IN IMAGE02 ABOVE . THIS CAN BE VERY
QUICKLY AS YOU CLOSE THE BOX BEFORE PUTTING THE BOX ON THE TABLE
OR IN YOUR POCKET.

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

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

~r=l1=I1 r = l I - I I N SI D E
WITH THE PARIAH DEVICE RESTING IN YOUR OUTSIDE SUIT JACKET
POCKET WITH THE LID OPEN YOU WILL NEED TO PERFORM THE EFFECT
WITH A REGULAR DECK OF THE SAME BRAND, COLOR , SIZE ETC.

HAND THE BOXED DECK TO THE SPECTATOR AND INVITE THEM TO REMOVE
THE CARDS , THEY WILL HAND THE BOX TO YOU . ASK THE SPECTATOR TO
SHUFFLE THE CARDS AND MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING ' D O D GY' ABOUT
THEM .

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

I WANT THIS T BE AS FAIR AS POSSIBLE, SO AS YOU LOOK FOR THE CARD

I 'LL TURN AWAY

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

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

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

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

ONCE DONE , YOU ARE FREE TO REMOVE THE CARDS FROM THE DECK AND
SCAN THROUGH THEM SO THAT THE SPECTATOR CANNOT SEE THE FACES,
THE CUTS WILL BE HIDDEN BY THE SPREAD, ONCE YOU HAVE TAKEN THE
SELECTED 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 OF
THE DECK YOU ARE OFFERED AN EXIT FOR THE SELECTED CARD.

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

AS YOU FAKE PUSHING THE DECK INTO YOUR POCKET YOU CAN
MANEUVER THE CARD INTO A CLASSIC PALM AND BRING YOUR
APPARENTLY EMPTY HAND BACK , THIS CAN THEN BE USED FOR A NUMBER
OF 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 TO
TAKE THE CARD FROM THE DEVICE WITH A GRIP BETWEEN YOUR THUMB
AND FINGER I ONCE THE DECK IS IN YOUR POCKET.

ONCE YOU HAVE PALMED THE CARD THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
YOU CAN CONTINUE AND MANY INTERESTING EFFECTS CAN BE ACHIEVED
WITH 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 SAME
POCKET AS THE SWITCHED DECK AND ONCE THE SELECTED CARD IS
PALMED, LIFT UP THE ENVELOPE AND PLACE IT ON TOP OF THE PALMED
CARD SO THAT THE CARD CAN BE HELD COMFORTABLY AND SECRETLY
UNDER IT.

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

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

I MUCH PREFER TO RIP THE ENVELOPE AT THE BEGINNING AS SOON AS THE

CARD IS LOADED BELOW IT, THIS WAY, WHEN THE SPECTATOR BACK -
TRACKS LOGIC WILL TELL THEM THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT THE
CARD COULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE DECK AND LOADED INTO
THE ENVELOPE IN THAT SHORT OF TIME , AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN THEY
CHECK THE DECK THEIR CARD WILL BE MISSING AS IT WAS INITIALLY
SELECTED FROM THAT DECK .

AS PER USUAL, I RESPECT YOUR PERFORMANCE INTEGRITY BY ALLOWING

FOR 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 ANY

FOUR CARDS AND PLACE THEM FACE DOWN ON THE SURFACE , IT DOESN 'T
MATTER WHICH CARDS ARE CHOSEN .

INVITE THE SPECTATOR TO SELECT A CARD TO SIGN AND RETURN TO THE

BOXED ( PA RIA H) DECK . ONCE THE CARD IS PALMED , THE FOUR RANDOM
CARDS ON THE SURFACE ARE PICKED UP AND PASSED TO THE SPECTATOR
TO KEEP HOLD OF, IN THIS MOMENT THE PALMED SELECTION IS ADDED TO
THE FOUR CARDS .

YOU CAN DO A FAKE COUNT TO SHOW FOUR CARDS . RETRIEVE THE

NORMAL DECK FROM YOUR POCKET AND HOLD IT IN AN OPEN PALM AND
WITH YOUR OTHER HAND SNAP YOUR FINGERS OVER THE TOP OF IT, YOU
CAN THEN POINT TO THE CARDS HELD BY THE SPECTATOR AND ASK THEM
TO 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 DIFFERENT
BRAND AND COLOR . WITH THIS DECK YOU WILL NOT BREAK THE SEAL
BUT CAN REMOVE THE CELLOPHANE .

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

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

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

BY NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE PURPOSE

OF THE DEVICE AND WITH GOOD PRACTICE YOU 'LL FIND A COMFORTABLE
PERFORMANCE .

HERE ARE SOME MORE IDEAS WITH THIS CONCEPT WHICH YOU MAY
PREFER...

(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 WHICH

OFFERS A SAFER GLIMPSE WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED TO OPEN THE FLAP.
SIMPLY CUT THE SAME CORNER OFF OF THE BACK-BOTTOM OF THE BOX TO
MATCH THE DECK .

WHEN THE CARD IS RETURNED TO THE DECK, YOU WILL TAKE THE BOX TO
YOUR INSIDE JACKET POCKET, AS YOU DO THIS, THE BOX WILL BE HELD AS
BELOW OFFERING YOU A FULL VIEW OF THE INDEX . AS YOU DUMP THE BOX
IN YOUR POCKET YOU HAVE MORE ROOM FOR PURCHASE ON THE
SELECTED 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 BEEN
DESIGNED FOR THE MENTALIST.

CUT EVERY CARD IN THE DECK APART FROM THE

JOKERS TO MAKE AN L SHAPE AS IN THE IMAGE
BELOW. THE BOTTOM INDEX END IS ABOUT 3CM
AND THE EDGE BORDER IS CUT TO ABOUT I CM .
THE JOKERS ARE PLACED ON TOP TO COVER THE
CUT OUT.

CUT THE BOX SO THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME FLAP

AT THE BACK AS WITH DEVICE ONE . ADDITION-
ALLY YOU 'LL NEED TO CUT DOWN THE INDEX
EDGE BY ABOUT 4CM .

PLACE THE CARDS IN THE BOX - CUT OUT FIRST

- AND PLACE A REGULAR CARD IN THE DECK
ANYWHERE . THE FLAP ON THE BACK - FLAP 2 -
WILL ALLOW YOU TO GLIMPSE MOST OF THE FACE
OF THE SELECTED CARD. THIS ALLOWS FOR AN
EDGE ON PERFORMANCE .. .

ONCE THE CARD IS SELECTED, ASK THE

SPECTATOR TO THINK OF ANY WORD AND WRITE
THIS WORD ON THE FACE OF THE CARD. THE
GLIMPSE WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEE THE SELECTED
CARD AND THE WORD WRITTEN UPON IT.

TO GET THE PERFECT GLIMPSE , AS YOU CLOSE THE

BOX , UPON FLAP 2 AS YOU PLACE THE BOX ON
THE SURFACE SO THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE
CARD AND WORD, THEN TAKE THE BOX AND
PLACE IT IN YOUR POCKET AS TO ENSURE NO
DECEPTION .

AFTER THE PERFORMANCE YOU CAN REMOVE THE

REGULAR DECK FROM THE SAME POCKET, AS YOU
DO SO, REMOVE THE SELECTED CARD FROM THE
PARIAH DEVICE AND POSITION IT BEHIND THE
REGULAR DECK , YOU CAN THEN REMOVE ALL
CARDS FROM THE BOX AND SLIDE THE SELECTED
CARD UNDER THE CARDS FROM THE BOX AND
CUT 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 OR
PERFORM 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 BOTTOM
RIGHT, THIS WILL KEEP THE BOX FROM COMPLETELY UNFOLDING AND IS
VITAL TO THE EXTRACTION AND FLASH OF THE SELECTED CARD, THIS PART
OF THE BOX MAY NEED TO BE REINFORCED BY CLEAR TAPE TO ENSURE
THAT IT WILL NOT BREAK OPEN .

THROUGHOUT HANDLING THIS DEVICE YOU CANNOT ALLOW THE

SPECTATOR TO SEE THE OPEN SIDES OF THE BOX AS THE BOX HAS TO
APPEAR LEGIT. YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT IN SOME MIRROR PRACTICE TO BE
AWARE 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 SIGN
THE CARD, AS THEY DO SO, RETRIEVE THE BOX AND REPLACE ALL CARDS TO
THE BOX . TAKE THE SIGNED SELECTION AND SLIDE IT INTO THE OPEN BOX
ANYWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DECK , IT IS AS THIS POINT WHERE YOU
WILL 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 AS
IN 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 IN
THE DECK ALLOWING FOR THE BOX LID TO BE CLOSED. IMAGE02 EXPOSES
THE IDEAL POSITION OF THE CARD AT THIS POINT.

STAGE 2:
WITH THE DECK HELD IN MECHANICS GRIP, THE SELECTED CARD WILL
CONNECT WITH THE PAD OF YOUR THUMB AS IN IMAGE02 , THIS WILL ALSO
HIDE THE CARD. THE FREE HAND COMES OVER THE TOP AND THE FREE-
HAND-THUMB CONNECTS WITH THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE SELECTED
CARD AS INIMAGE02 . THE SELECTED CARD IS NOW SWUNG OUT TO THE
SIDE ALLOWING IT TO CLEAR THE BOTTOM FLAP, THE CARD IS NOW
SQUARED 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 BEFORE
SQUARING THE CARD BACK INTO THE DECK AS YOU PUT THE DECK IN
YOUR POCKET OR ON THE SURFACE .

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