Features : A book written by Joshua Jay. French translation of Richard Vollmer. Format: 19 cm 26 cm, 100 pages. Description : The effects described in this book and the philosophy that underlies them are the products of my obsession with magic. They were born from my need to create. I visualize the goal of my magic, and I work to reach it. If a method, a presentation or an existing idea does not do the trick, I create a new one. This book is full of original ideas that I have discovered in the fire of action and refined by scrutinizing them with my critical analysis. Most of the effects are intended for the magician of traveling close-ups. Like my views of experience, age and enthusiasm depart from the norm, my intentions by publishing this book are also different from those of others. I consider this book as a trip to my mind. I want not only to transmit my effects to you, but also the mental processes and the patterns behind magic. In this regard, I have not kept anything for me, and especially not the philosophy that underpins all my efforts. You would be wrong to add to your repertoire an effect of this book, or by any other magic book, simply because it is there. Only the elements that meet your designer needs should be used. I hope what you will find you will appeal and meet your expectations …- Joshua Jay Contents: Royal Assembly Pulling My String Button Buster A perplexing pen production Discreet Displacement Utility Discovery The Book Cut The clutter cut The Jay changes Strand Hand Wedding Band Fancy Find Flourish Trumped Triumph Knuckle Sandwich Aces Triple Thought of Card Interests combined Losing diamonds Shrunken is Triumph in 211 Side show Pocket Jokers Watch this Watch Out Corner from silk Paintbrush traction The Remote Control Psychometry and Me Beach Business Cards
