Stewart James is one of the most prolific creators in all of magic history. He created over 2,000 magic tricks in his lifetime--many of which have become "classics." All of Stewart's best creations have been published in "Stewart James in Print: The First Fifty Years" and "The James Files." The books total over 2500 pages across three volumes. No matter if you've been in magic for decades or just a few months, odds are, you've encountered one of Stewart James’s creation's.

This project is dedicated to taking Stewart's material off the page and putting it into action.

Episode #1 uncovers the Spell of Mystery (originally published in 1929) and its variations.

Spell of Mystery - A deck is shuffled. The spectator cuts the deck wherever they want, and the top two cards are used to create a target card. The target card is spelled with cards from the deck, and low and behold, the card is found.

Twice Versa - After performing Spell of Mystery, you can immediately repeat the effect...in reverse.

Big Tutudo - This introduces a plethora of choices into Spell of Mystery to add an additional layer of impossibility.

BONUS:
Love's Labor Lost - This uses the Spell of Mystery concept, but eliminates the spelling giving you a self-working, easy to master card location.
