French born Etienne Pradier is one of the UK's most successful magicians. From London to Los Angeles, people's jaws have literally dropped after witnessing him perform.

This is Etienne's second book, and follows on from the huge success of his first, La Magiedes Cartes. It contains more effects that have helped him achieve his fantastic success as a magician.

All of the routines, published here for the first time, are from Etienne's professional repertoire. And all the hints, tips and pieces of advice are from his experience of performing in the "real world."

As well as many stunning card tricks, this volume included a watch prediction, a visible transformation using "hot ink," and a routine designed especially to enter (and win!) a magic competition.

All of the tricks are clearly written and illustrated with literally hundreds of photos of Etienne showing how the tricks are done.

TERRIBLE Report this review

This is absolutely TERRIBLE
I bought this from Etienne directly a few months back, and none of these routines are what I consider to be workers, which for me means:
are easy to do
use very little of the table
are straightforward in plot

most of the tricks here are convoluted and require passes, lots of tablework and four of a kinds chnaging places and switching,...
This is a good book, but not if you want to use this stuff for a table hopping situation, it's for those pipe and slippers moments.
I will say that the tips at the end of the book were interesting, but were specifically designed for etienne

First, this is a high quality hard covered book, with many photograph illustrations.
What is most important to anybody who purchases any book is the quality of the contents. Of course, this varies with each individual, and the type of magic they perform. Etienne is primarily a close up magician, who shares his highly commercial material which "kills" in the real world for the real people who matter, the layman.
In close up magic there is a recent consideration, do the tricks require a table?, Can I perform strolling with no table?
You will receive a mix of effects, some requiring a table, but no elaborate table displays.Some effects can be modified to eliminate the need of a table.
I am currently working on two effects, which may find their way into my repertoire.Frankly, that is a lot considering my working repertoire needs little to improve its overall impact on the lay public.
Do not overlook Do You Feel Lucky,AKA,Card Under Pen...although it is hard to imagine how this would work, through the printed page, it does.Fortunately I have seen this before on video and have already played with it in live performances. BTW, this is not among the two effects I am currently working on.If you need further evidence of the genius of Mr. Pradier,invest in some video to see how his material plays, you will not be disappointed.
