The first major work from John Carney in over a decade.
John Carney is a legendary magician that needs no introduction. He is the most awarded magician in Magic Castle history and his book Carneycopia is a seminal text that many magicians consider required reading.
Sleights & Insights is destined to be viewed with the same reverance in the years to come. This is more than just another book of tricks. It’s a fresh perspective on the art of creating and refining your own magic. In typical John fashion, he doesn't just theorize ideas, but rather proves them through concrete examples.
You’ll learn a variety of original effects for both close-up and stage including:
- Stunning card magic that works for audiences both large and small
- Elegantly-designed coin magic that is a beauty to watch
- Innovations on the torn and restored plot
- An impromptu cups and balls routine
- Puppets and photographs that snag selected cards out of thin air
- A haunted doll house where objects come to life
- And so much more…
In total, this more than 300-page hardback beauty contains over 70 routines and ideas. Everything is neatly detailed and arranged alongside crystal-clear photos.
As you learn each effect, John also teaches you the how to infuse more thoughtful design into your routine, make your magic more natural and deceptive, and improve your overall technique. It truly is a perfect blend of magic and theory that any serious magician will enjoy.
Sleights & Insights is one of those books you’ll find yourself returning to often, learning something new each time. This stimulating read will help you view your magic through a new lens, unlocking the steps needed to reach the next level.
