Juan Tamariz reminds of that old E.F. Hutton commercial “When Juan speaks… people listen.” If you are not familiar with it search YouTube.
Well, he is speaking again, only this time he is offering small and important messages, reminiscences, and tricks in his Notes From Juan series. It is expected to be a series of six booklets that include him discussing his way of thinking and teaching some unpublished stuff. The first volume includes three card ideas and a color changing knife routine.
►Letters From Juan Volume 1:
This is the beginning of a new series of booklets by Juan Tamariz which is presented as a personal letter to you from your dear friend who shares his thoughts about magic and teaches some of his favorite (unpublished) secrets and routines.
Contents include: Letter from Juan, The Shovel, Color Separation Finale, The Rainbow Knife, Pure Olive Oil and Water, and Postscript.

►ARM: Almost Real Magic:
The theme revolves around an entrance exam that is used to qualify players to enroll in a Blackjack Card Counting School.
The observation test begins with two identical hands of Blackjack (AC and JH). The object is to see if the candidate can follow where the cards are.
The first test is easy and your friend names the Ace, then things get tough. Unexpectedly the Blackjack on the table is now seen as two Aces while the one in your hand has the Jacks.
To simplify things, you decide to only use the two Jacks this time but wait now there are three Jacks and only one Ace. As a finale all four cards are shown to be Jacks and there is no Ace in sight.

►BACK IN STOCK:
When I announced the release of Conjurer’s Wisdom Volume Two a few weeks ago I ended up selling out of Volume One. Go figure? Just received a small shipment of Volume Ones if you want to complete your set, and as usual I had them all autographed.
►Conjurer’s Wisdom:
This is a funny, entertaining and inspirational collection of more than 3,000 magical facts, fallacies, wit and confabulations by Joe Hernandez.
Open to any page, read any quote, and be ready to ponder about what magic is and is not. Explore these facts and fallacies, and read many of Joe’s favorite oxymorons, redundancies, euphemisms, opinions, questions, observations, and confabulations. Many are interesting thoughts, assumptions, musings, and some are downright dim-witted. As you read each quote, give it some thought, use them in your performance, combine a few or change the quote to fit your needs.

The Long Goodbye presents all of Geoff Latta’s known coin magic, published and unpublished. It is a record of brilliant innovation that coin-magic aficionados will be absorbing, mastering and emulating for years to come. You will learn 48 of his routines and more than 25 sleights.
But more than magic, this book also focuses on the subtle construction, psychology and choreography that were the hallmark of Geoff’s magic.
