Tan Hock Chuan, of Singapore, was a frequent and valued contributor to Swami and Mantra, and this easy to do card effect displays a decided stylistic flair on either his part or Sam Dalal's. Later in the magazine's run, Chuan contributed a completely different method for performing "The Absconding Queen." My sincere thanks to Richard Kaufman for allowing me to share this routine with you. (Want to thank Richard yourself? Buy some books. Indeed I hope this whets your appetite for Swami/Mantra.)

Return to the magazine proper for access to The Secret to this effect. If you remember the Userid/Password combination, you may go directly to the Secret.
