I love this book!!!! Still reading through it but some real gems in it. Mix and match is a great effect. Always packs a wow!! I love the Traveller too. Nice little effect that you can do strolling. But i must admit that some of the sleights in the book, i do have trouble with. I would recommend this book to anyone who facys getting there teeth into a decent card book. i would give it 4 out of 5. Top stuff!! :D

all those that believe in telekinesis raise my right hand!!!

As my great chum Andy stated above, this is GREAT book.
The Traveller is my favourite effect in there and one I use in my close-up set as it leaves the spectator with no idea whatsoever. A real head doer which seems so fair. Love it.

Must be me at fault here... but despite what everyone here says, this book just doesn't work for me!

It seems that every trick has blank cards and the most of them are packets, and it just seems that as soon as you bring this out infront of your willing spectator, it just screams "Trick cards!"

(And yes, I know that there's some full deck tricks, and they don't look gimmicked to the spectator...)

Any help with this book would be greatly appreciated, because I'm sure there's stuff in there I can use, but I just can't find it!

Next time we meet Chris I'll show you two routines from the book that I do regularly.

"I want to do magic...but I don't want to be referred to as a magician." - A layman chatting to me about magic.

My fave card magic book by far! You could build an entire act around this.

Beyond Belief and Mix n Match produce some great reactions.
