A beautiful new hardback filled with unpublished material from one of the world's greatest card magicians.
Jack Carpenter is one of the most respected creators in magic. For over three decades, his material has been used by professionals around the world. His landmark book Modus Operandi was followed up by Expert's Portfolio Volumes 1 & 2, as well as many video downloads and other creations. His "Carpenter Coins" remains one of our all-time bestsellers.
Carpenter's Conceptions is his biggest release to date. It's filled completely with unpublished material. This includes routines he's created and honed in the 15 years since the release of the Expert's Portfolio series, as well as some secrets he's been keeping for even longer.
In addition to elegantly-crafted card magic routines and sleights, you'll also find remarkable magic with other items such as coins, rope and even fire. There are 35 total items (28 routines and 7 sleights), all taught in exquisite detail and illustrated with over 200 photographs. From magic for the card table to walkaround gems that don't require a table, there is something for everyone—including many magician foolers.
These are not pipe dreams or works in progress, but rather top-flight material that Jack has performed, refined, and perfected. They're all workers that use a regular deck of cards and other common objects. For many of the routines, Jack has even included the full presentations he uses.
Some of the highlights include the "452 Control", which Allan Ackerman says is one of the best multiple shifts ever taught. This ingenious technique is arguably worth the price of the book on its own. Jack has also fooled many magicians with the surprise double climax in his "Final Jazz Aces" routine and has created a clever, easy-to-do, fooling and, most importantly, entertaining routine called "No-Palm Queens to Pocket" in which four Queens travel to your pocket. And, as the name suggests, no palming is required!
This is just a small sample of the amazing and practical material you'll find in Carpenter's Conceptions. It's the type of book you'll find yourself revisiting often. Add it to your library today!
