[MyMagic] Book Break

I thought I would introduce you to two excellent books instead of the tricks I have been featuring lately.

A Steve Beam book that is full of magician foolers with cards. All the routines use various new strategies and applications of the little known 14/15 principle. These are not card routines that use sleight of hand but a clever mathematical setup.

The second book is the expanded hard cover edition of the exclusive lecture notes I offered you a few years ago. You can read what I originally wrote: HERE

Clemens Ilgner is basically an expert musician who took the practice strategies that all world-class musicians use and applied them to magic and sleight of hand. You can’t help but improve by studying and applying these strategies.

►Smokers:

This is a massive in-depth history, analysis, variations, improvements, applications, and complimentary techniques to the little known 14/15 Principle with cards. It includes 16 new forces and 26 new routines and many of the routines could be classified as “Magician Foolers.”

The book explains the principle, explores the history, and details the major milestones in the use of the principle. It then moves from the past to focus on the future with new effects, subtleties, tangents, and stacks. This is not just a magic book. It’s a textbook on a powerful principle and a roadmap showing you where and how to use it. It pushes the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. This is the one-stop reference book on the principle but it’s also a fun read. And, a principle or a stack, without good effects to exploit it, is like having great ingredients but no recipe.

►Practicing The Art Of Magic:

Clemens Ilgner is a classically trained musician and award-winning magician. As we all know, the amount of practice required to become an accomplished musician as astronomical compared to magic.

In this excellent book Clemens applies what he learned through years of study and practice of music to magic. He offers a unique approach to practicing sleights and routines and incorporating sound psychological studies. If you’re looking to rehearse more effectively, make progress, and gain additional confidence in your performance, this guide is for you.

►Out Of The Blue:

This is an easy and direct routine where a seemingly freely selected card vanishes from a red deck and appears in a blue deck. It is practically self-working.

You begin by introducing a deck of Bicycle cards that are half red backed, and half blue backed. After showing the blue cards to be all different you hand them to a spectator for safekeeping. A second spectator fairly selects any one of the remaining red backed cards which are also shown to be all different.

Their red backed card instantly vanishes from the red packet of cards and is found in the blue packet that has been held by the spectator the entire time.

►BACK IN STOCK:

Just received a few more copies of the groundbreaking David Roth coin magic book. I also have an autographed copy on eBay: HERE

►David Roth’s Expert Coin Magic:

The legendary David Roth was the most influential and creative coin magician in history. He literally revolutionized the way coin magic was performed and perceived.

This book contains almost all his best routines. The routines and techniques that created his legacy and that he used to earn a living with, both from lay audiences and magicians.

►OUR LATEST RELEASE:

►Stage Size BS Board:

A funny and surprising comedy routine for entertainers.

This is the first time it has been made available for stage performers. Meir Yedid has been closing his stage shows with it for 15+ years and magicians have been begging him to release the stage version.

It is not a magic routine. It is a comedy bit that can be used anytime during a show.

PS2: If you did not watch my interview, to learn how I think, you can catch it: HERE

“Our brain learns by repeating and reflecting on what we have learned. Practicing for 10 minutes every day is therefore more effective than practicing for 70 minutes at a stretch once a week.”
