"Don't let the subtitle ›A Collection of Memorized-Deck Magic‹ fool you: this book is of tremendous value to anyone who's interested in clever, artful card magic - regardless of whether or not you ever use a memorized deck" - Simon Aronson
"In the first years after ›Mnemonica‹ there were many contributions in form of ideas and tricks by many magicians, but without a doubt, the most coherent and creative corpus, the most distinct and profound work were the effects created and published by Pit." - Juan Tamariz
You can look forward to:
Echoes
High in the mountains, cards behave in mysterious ways. Three cards. Three free selections. Three perfect echoes.
Catch Me If You Can
It‘s sleight of hand vs. test conditions in this impossible two-deck sandwich routine.
The Poker Formulas
Deal any poker hand to any number of players. A Full, Threes over Jacks for nine players? You got it.
Close Encounters
Same cards from different decks like to meet up and hang out. A best-buddy triple coincidence.
Sherlock
An incredible »impossible location« using a shuffled stack (!) (Oh, and it’s funny, too!)
The Core
Find a thought-of card and see why a deck is like a piece of fruit. Also: How to peel a deck!
Thought Exchange
Why do all the work alone? This time you find their thought-of card – and they find yours!
Duplicity
A gambling demonstration for people who don’t play cards: Duplicate random hands from a shuffled (!) deck.
Just like that!
»Teach me a trick!« You do, they succeed - and they have no idea how they did it!
Four Way Stop
A slow-motion quadruple stop trick. Not so easy, but Oh. So. Fair.
Top of the Heaps
Four random packets. A freely named four-of-a-kind. And for once, the laying-on of hands really works!
Impossible Bet
Four packets change into a Royal Flush? In one second, with one hand, without looking? Yep.
The Illusionist
Cut to a freely named four-of-a-kind – that was actually in your pocket the whole time!
Identity
A triple back and forth change of random cards into a named quartet. Highly visual (and rumoured to get screams!)
Fairy Tale Poker
The enchanted deck that will grant your spectators’ wishes! (Talking frog not included).
The Right Kind of Wrong
Sometimes dead wrong is exactly right - if only seen from another deck!
...and even more!
"In Order to Amaze packs into its 252 pages more useful, thoughtful, ingenious content than a thousand one-trick DVDs." - Michael Close
