Unleash Five Potent Close-Up Mysteries with John Hostler's Cryptical Envelopment
Dive into the mind of the delightfully reclusive 'Magical Curmudgeon,' John Hostler, as he unveils five extraordinary pieces of close-up magic in 'Cryptical Envelopment.' Following the success of his controversial 'Rauschenberg Effect,' Hostler once again challenges conventional magic with this newly formatted, 41-page e-book, offering a rare glimpse into his unique brand of illusion. This digital download presents material that rarely sees print and is known to be pulled from virtual shelves, making it a valuable addition for any serious magician seeking truly original and impactful routines.
Explore the Enigmatic Effects Within
Inside 'Cryptical Envelopment,' you'll discover a collection of effects designed to baffle, astound, and leave a lasting impression:
- 'New Speedway Boogie' offers a revolutionary, slash-and-burn approach to the classic four-card assembly, featuring a virtually moveless backfire that will undeniably 'scratch magicians' heads.'
- With 'Bertha,' you'll perform a mind-bending prediction of a mentally selected card's first name – a true testament to Hostler's ingenious methods.
- 'Alligator' allows for a stunning, rapid-fire demonstration of precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance, all achievable with a standard pack of playing cards.
- 'Estimated Prophet' strips Aronson's renowned 'Shuffle-Bored' masterpiece to its core, empowering you to perform this powerful effect with a borrowed deck, amplifying its impact.
- The book's centerpiece, 'Cryptical Envelopment,' featuring the 'Slipknot Deck,' is perhaps the most audacious. Here, you'll thoroughly convince a spectator that you've subtly altered their memory, an effect that truly pushes the boundaries of perception.
These aren't just tricks; they're thoughtfully crafted experiences.

"Well done, sir." - Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii
"Highly recommended." - Tom Frame, Genii Forum
"Most of the stuff we add to the welter are useful footnotes and marginalia worth more than a few casual mental-tumbles and academic spinoffs. However, the feature routine should give fellow travelers a run for whatever money is left in their pockets. I really, really liked it… some might say I was wholly smitten." - Jon Racherbaumer
