The cover for the Sleights and Deceptions book reminds me a lot of the cover for Expert Card Technique by Jean Hugard & Frederick Braué.

While I liked the episode pretty well, there were a couple of nits to pick.

The only magic poster's in Razr's place were Houdini posters. Wonder if that was a nod toward the Doyle/Houdini relationship?

Fridging her to motivate Marcus is definitely a step down. It was clear when he got the happy call from Joan that she was in trouble.

Young Bob's enthusiasm at the laser rock show reminded me a lot of Gene.

There's a new Match game on tonight.

This is sad news. She had a rough time in the last few years.

Don't exaggerate. I'm sure Brett Dalton's mom is fine being a fanclub of one.

It had to be done. Thank you for your service.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. already did a Hydra Heel Turn for a long-standing agent when Garrett turned out to be Hydra all along. (Also Ward and several others.)
