As I put the finishing touches on another Opus Escamoteurettes (which is to say, a blog post too long to read in one sitting in the head, but too short to bother killing a real tree in order to publish it properly) I want to share a reference with you in hopes you will consider the magnitude it wields in This Thing of Ours:

Haunted Pack — Psychokenesis
Devano Rising Cards — magic trick

The difference? 90 degrees.

That’s the message found on page 195 of one of the most important books I have on my shelves of mystery entertainment related books: TA Waters’ Mind, Myth and Magick.
