This is a rare and limited opportunity to get a double autographed copy of Jack Carpenter’s new book Carpenter’s Conceptions. Each one of our copies was hand-autographed by Jack Carpenter and the author of the book Jamie Masterson.
While having all the books travel across the country to be signed, some of the copies encountered minor dings, the copies that also acquired blemishes are being offered at a discount and are also signed.
Along with the new book, we also got a small supply of their collaboration booklets Shadow & Shake which are autographed by Jamie, who is also an expert magician and creator that I am sure you will be hearing more about in the future.
►Carpenter’s Conceptions:
Subtitled as “The Innovative Magic of Jack Carpenter” this is Jack’s biggest release to date. It’s filled with unpublished material that include routines he’s created and honed in the fifteen years since the release of the Expert’s Portfolio series, as well as some secrets he’s been keeping for even longer.
In addition to elegantly crafted card magic routines and sleights, you’ll also find remarkable magic with other items such as coins, rope and even fire. There are 35 total items (28 routines and 7 sleights), all taught in exquisite detail and illustrated with more than 200 photographs. From magic for the card table to walkaround gems that don’t require a table, there is something for everyone–including many magician foolers.

►Shadow & Shake:
Here is what Jack Carpenter wrote in the Introduction: “This visually explosive extrapolation never fails to evoke audible gasps with lay audiences and is one of the most satisfying sequences I perform. It hits all the notes that are important to me: The effect is clear and concise, can be performed surrounded, is gimmickless, and totally impromptu.”
The basic routine is a three-phase transposition routine that looks and feels impossible. But it does not take 44 pages to explain one card trick. What makes this book special are the many additional optional climax endings, professional performance tips, psychology, advanced fingertip visuals and much more.

►BACK IN STOCK:
I recently ran out of two of my early books and was able to get a few more in stock. One of the books was written by Harry Lorayne and the other by George Schindler. Both contain some of my original thinking and routines and are available at ridiculously low prices by today’s standards.
►Card Animations:
This book features Meir’s offbeat magic where he uses ordinary playing cards in extraordinary ways. All of these routines are visual, quirky and very memorable.
Routines Include: Demolition, The Card Camera, Blow Gun, Test Tube Alchemy, and Biting Sensations. Also taught are all of the techniques used within the routines.
