Reinventing the Real changed the way I think about the magic I perform. This book has sparked
creativity, made me laugh,and has made me want to perform magic. A few of my favorite Items:
Ipod Shuffle: Not a trick, but a really cool triumph shuffle that is similar in nature to a
zarrow shuffle. I use this in my triumph routine.
Schlorange: A true stunner. This is a
great card trick to perform, espescially as an opener. Note: pretty difficult.
Hippo.....phobia: A spelling trick that's actually entertaining! As a bonus, you also produce 4
aces as a kicker. This is awesome! Hilarious routine.
Running Man: A really cool, fun, and
entertaining anniversary waltz done with no gimmicks. I like this one.
Winona Ryder Trick:
This is a supercharged, amazing multiple selection routine. This is a great closer and it gets
everyone involved. Note:Extremely difficult (# of sleights this trick has in in the 3 digits. I am
not kidding. still a great trick, though.)
*69: A great, hilarious trick w/ a memorized
deck involving the game of telephone! Note: See the invisible deck handling in the afterthoughts
section. Genius.
This is a great book. There are great tricks with cards, coins, rubber
bands, envelopes, and creamers.I also appreciated the extremely detailed crediting and the fully
detailed script. It shows us that Tyler is very dedicated to our craft. More importantly, the book
makes you think about the magic you perform and inspires you to be a better magician.
