The credits for these effects come from MANY sources. Those
sources, and variations, are noted here. Not all of the effects I have included here are well documented.
Should you know more of an effect's history, feel free to email me with
the info, and I'll research it and include it here.
Star Magic, under "Magic as Entertainment", was
found by me in the book "The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Card & Magic Tricks"
(ISBN 0-8069-9347-2), by The Diagram Group, page 438. The effect was described as divining the numbers
of two rolls of a die, but as I considered it, it seemed better to use a number that was simply thought-of,
existing only in the mind of the spectator (not to mention the fact that not many web surfers have dice laying
around!), and that also allowed the use of ALL single digit numbers (0-9 inclusive), rather than being limited
to just 1-6. I am looking for more background information on this effect, let me know if you have any.
