    The document provides instructions for performing a magic trick called "Hidden Runes". It involves using rune stones that are placed in a bag and selected by spectators. Those spectators then match their stones to rune cards that are selected by cutting a deck. The document discusses the materials needed, including rune stones, cards, and a change bag. It describes forcing four specific rune stones to correspond to the numbered spectators. Finally, it mentions stacking the rune cards so they can be cut to match the stones that were selected.

    Hidden Runes

    You show a small cloth bag, which you tip out to reveal a collection
    of Rune Stones. You show a few of them, comment on their
    meanings, and then drop them back into the bag, before having a
    spectator reach in and grab four.
    The magician takes the four stones and hands them to four different
    spectators, with the request that they hold their stones tightly until
    the end of the effect.
    Now the magician removes what looks like a deck of large cards
    and shows them to bear the symbols of the runes on the faces.
    Each of the spectators cut the deck, thus selecting a card.
    At the conclusion, it is shown that each spectator has cut to the
    card that matches the rune they were given at the start of the
    effect.
    Discussion
    To perform this piece, you need a set of Rune Stones, a deck of
    Rune Cards, and a suitable change bag although there are some
    alternatives.
    The Rune Stones you can get from any new age shop (I actually got
    a lovely handmade wooden set from e-bay a little while back),
    though the Rune Cards may cause you a little more trouble. My
    ones are Aquarian Rune Cards by Anthony Clark, and the ISBN is
    0 85030 988 3
    If you cannot find a set, you can easily adapt the effect by buying a
    pack of double blank cards (or double blank index cards) and
    drawing the symbols on yourself. If you do this, you can easily add
    the meaning of the symbol on the bottom of the card, making them
    ideal to learn the stones from as well.
    Finally, get a change bag that looks as plain as possible. As you
    have to carry 20 small stones in something, having a bag is logical,
    as if having the stones selected from it. Just avoid ones with
    handles, tassels and glitter!
    From the stones, choose four symbols to be your force symbols. I
    use the following ones.

    This simple system means that if I number the spectators one to


    four from left to right, I can ensure they get the correct stones in
    performance, by giving them the stone that matches their number.
    So begin with the force stones in one side of the change bag, and
    the rest of the stones in the other side.
    All that remains to do is to stack the rune cards for any version of
    cutting the aces that you might know. I use John Bannons from his
    lecture notes Cardzilla is Coming, although you are free to use
    your favourite method.
