In Harry Franke's fifth set of lecture notes (circa the early 1970s), he shares seven practical items from his repertoire. These include his highly regarded "Vanishing Lady" effect using an easily made-up gimmick to visually transform a Queen or other court card into a spot card when passed between two other cards – a card which could then be examined! Franke also explains how to make-up and use his Laser Card which enables you to instaneously change one card held at the fingertips into another or vanish it altogether! Originally a marketed effect, the gimmick even caught the attention of Ed Marlo who used it for a Card to Pocket routine in Heirophant 5-6 (1971) and later, Jim Steinmeyer, for his Cards Up Sleeve routine (Genii, Feb. 2016). Other material in this set of notes includes a beautiful Visible Silk Penetration from a tumbler, a way to hold out cards for card fan productions, and more. 11 pages, illustrated, re-typeset.
