ASON ALFORD'S CYBER-SITE, sponively dubbed
The Second Deal
or
TSD
for shon, is as
inreraclive as any magician's "round table" in rhe past. However, because ils
"connectivity" does not occur in real time (except for occasional chat-room stuff), it
permils a greater number of participants to thoughtfully reacI to anything that's posled. NOI
only is topical malerial posted on a lively bulletin board, bur sessionaires post tricks, sleights,
and ideas for everyone

harvest. They also panicipale in solving challenging"card
problems" - one of the most stimulating aspects of any bull-session, bullish session, or no-
bull session. The reverb effect is bracing. The cross-fertilization of what I'm fond of calling
"memes" produces some of the most stimulating and useful creativity currently freely
floating around in cyber space.
The Second Deal
is based on sincerity, seriousness of purpose, and a self-policing meritocracy.
It
is primarily inrerested in process and production and protection. Most of the panicipants
are well-informed and well-inrentioned, representing a wide range of mind-styles and
brainpower. There is not only a range of age differences, there is also a diverse range of
backgrounds. This generates a wonderful mix and the primary reason panicipanrs find the
TSD
site to be the best one in magicdom.
The compilation collected by Jason Alford is a robust sample of what happens at the site and
has been happily preserved. Beware! It may be conragious.

Introduction
a grear deal of rime going rhrough the material in rhis book. There is more
rhan enough for any card-man to assimilate. I have found rhat rhe contributors and rhe
aurhor have gone to a great deal of effort to make rhe explanations and effects very
readable and strong.
HAVE SPENT
I
As
this is rhe first time rhat I have been given rhe honor of doing an introduction to a book,
I have tried to come up wirh a comparison
to
orher books, and rhe only thing rhat I could
compare it to is a "Cook Book." The reason I make rhis comparison is rhat a person cannot
know how good somerhing is until it is tested, savored, and the palate is whetted!
I rhink rhat it is very important rhat rhe reader savor each effect wirh a deck of cards in
hands.
It
is only rhen rhat rhe reader will be able to fully evaluate each effect, and find rhe
inherent value contained wirhin rhese pages.
I know rhat I have often made rhe mistake of "skimming" rhrough a book, and later have
been fooled by somerhing rhat I have eirher read, and did not try, or just skimmed over. This
is not rhat rype of book!
There is so much great material wirhin rhese pages, it would be a shame not
to
give each
contributor your full attenrion, and you would also be doing yourself disservice, for rhere is
much to Jearn.
I also feel that Jason has put the effects in a very logical order, well written, and well worrh
rhe rime of any card-man. This is not a book rhat one puts on rhe shelf, but goes back over it
again and again, increasing his/her knowledge from some of rhe best minds in card magic.
