The masterful Denis Behr's second collection of world-class card magic is a must-have in the library of any serious student of the art.

Offered as part of the special 3-part Handcrafted Card Magic series, this slim, but dense, volume contains a wealth of smart, technical card magic that has been universally praised by some of the world's best magicians. After being unavailable for a long time, it is finally back in print again in limited quantities. As if that wasn't motivation enough to grab it, Handcrafted Card Magic - Volume 2 also features the introduction of the legendary Herbert - the Trained Rubber Band.

"The warning, "You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover" is a lie because if a book has Denis Behr's name on the cover you can be sure it is well-written and filled with card magic that will delight your mind, your hands, your heart and your audiences." Michael Weber

"I've examined this material. It is every bit as good as that in its predecessor." Stephen Minch

"Every entry is worthy of the thoughtful cardician's attention. Looking for a book of card material that will actually deliver satisfying results? You need look no further than this."Jamy Ian Swiss

"I promise, I will come up with a really good quote for Denis' new book, but at the moment I am just too busy performing his material!"Pit Hartling

"Denis Behr doesn't take himself too seriously, but he does take card magic seriously. In his latest literary effort, 'Handcrafted Card Magic 2', you can read for yourselves why Denis has to be considered a serious author, for what he writes is interesting and original, with the added benefit that the interesting things are also original, and the original things interesting."Roberto Giobbi

Contents of Handcrafted Card Magic - Volume 2

Foreword by Stephen Minch & Introduction

The Green Card
A signed card and prediction in full view combine to create a surreal effect that leaves a lasting impression.

Two More Tricks for Allen Kennedy
These routines use practical center deal demonstrations that look identical to the real thing. Another card magic powerhouse Pit Hartling even joins forces with Denis for one of the routines.

Home Again
Expanding on concepts introduced in the Volume 1, this section offers additional ways to improve your stack work. Features the "Chaotic Chaos Cut", "The Plop Replacement", and a "Shuffling Lesson for Getting into a Partial Stack".

Messy - The Director's Shuffle
Denis once again collaborates with Pit Hartling to showcase one of the most devastatingly convincing Triumph routines you'll ever see. This uses a stack in a super clever way.

Stop It
Your participant repeatedly stops at predicted cards in a baffling routine that will make them want to start a religion about you. Also features further thoughts on the "Half Forcing Deck" concept.

Shuffled ACAAN
As the name implies, this is an "Any Card at Any Number" effect using a deck shuffled by an audience member. A versatile palm-to-palm transfer and an optional addition known as "Cemented ACAAN" are also taught.

Suit Surprise
A professional appearance of a suit of cards.

Herbert - The Trained Rubber Band
We're not completely sure if Denis knew that Herbert would become as iconic as he has. But, after reading this section, you'll clearly see why Herbert manages to steal every show.

Customer reviews for Handcrafted Card Magic - Volume 2

Reviewer

Gerhard

I am always worried that follow up volumes are not as hard hitting. However this does not disappoint. It hits off with a great effect called the Green Card. I am really enjoying the Denis Behr books. There is a lot of thought that goes into the tricks and they are really workers. Not for the beginner but definitely for the intermediate magician. Get this.

 
Reviewer

Michael

A follow-up that matches the quality of the first volume, Handcrafted Card Magic - Volume Two captures more of Denis Behr's clever thinking in sleight of hand card magic. Though there's plenty here to keep intermediate-to-advanced card magicians busy for a long while, the gorgeous and hyper-fair Triumph and Herbert the Trained Rubber Band are worth the price of the volume alone. Add this to your shelf!
