Fried Thrice—An Experiment in Intuition
By Jon Racherbaumer

Unearthed from deep within my archives, this long-hidden gem by Jon Racherbaumer was simply too good to remain buried. Back in 1995, when Jon came out west to lecture, he generously granted me the rights to publish this remarkable piece—and now, after all these years, I’m delighted to bring it back into the light.

Yes, the pages may be a bit tattered and timeworn. But the thinking? As sharp, clever, and devastating as ever. Fried Thrice is Racherbaumer at his best: intelligent construction, elegant presentation, and a subtle philosophical undercurrent that elevates the effect beyond “just a trick.”

This is an exploration of intuition in magic—thought-provoking, inspiring, and deeply satisfying to perform.

From the vault… to your hands. Enjoy.
