Description

The great Laurie Ireland presents his first publication devoted exclusively to card and coin magic, and there’s plenty to keep practitioners of both fields occupied in this twenty-eight-page booklet. Ireland begins with a surefire method for forcing that makes subtle use of an age-old principle. This force card is used to baffling effect in the two routines that follow, in which a spectator tears up a selection only to discover it restored, but for a corner he has retained in a card case, before the magician magically returns the card to its complete state. Next come a false shuffle that closely resembles (and predates the first publication of) the Triumph Shuffle, albeit performed in the hands, and a technique for Six-Card Repeat that is then employed in a highly deceptive CAAN, as well as manipulation moves, coin techniques and more.
