IMPORTANT: When purchased from The Book Patch this instruction booklet DOES NOT include the cards required (hence the low price). The book contains a series of routines for magicians and mentalists with six cards that have a picture of a wine glass on. In most, the participant continues to end up with the poison glass (in one case even after it has been removed from play).
