A road-tested collection of hard-hitting card magic that's surprisingly simple to do.
High Spots holds a special place in magic history. This is not only the book that put Caleb Wiles on the map but is also one of the first bestsellers Vanishing Inc. ever printed.
This special edition of High Spots is now available in hardback and features a new, modernized cover and Vanishing Inc's anniversary logo.
Much of Caleb's best work can be found between these pages. This includes his take on "Reset" by Paul Harris known as "Reswindled, which some argue is the best variation ever invented. The "Semi-Automatic Luck Test" is another popular self-working gem that magicians of all skill levels enjoy.
In total, you'll learn 11 deceptive, mostly easy-to-do routines. While this material is simple enough for novices, it's also commercial enough for pros. This thin, but dense, book does not waste any space on fluff or filler. You'll find nothing but practical, audience-tested material you can start using right away.

"Reswindled" is worth the price of the book ALONE. Paul Harris says, "Caleb Wiles' Reswindled is my new favorite version of Re-Set." So the creator of the plot acknowledges this version as the best. Why? Because in addition to cards transposing, at the conclusion they change into the Aces. It's such a simple, logical addition! You'll learn all the details here.
