Description

Prepare to have your brain bubbling with ideas. A decade on from Oliver’s bestsellers The Plot Thickens and Plot Twists, he’s back with a new book brimming with creativity.

Expect fresh plots, streamlined methods and playful audience interaction. Several of the tricks are also ‘scalable’, so they can play in both close-up and parlor performances.

Discover 19 tricks and 11 ideas (mostly cards, with a few exceptions), including:

    • The Other Three Magicians: Give three participants their own magic powers, so they can each experience being both audience member and magician.
    • Kerchunk: A selection is found using a ‘tweezers card’ and ends up stapled to it.
    • Synesthesia: Using magical means, you simulate a participant ‘seeing’ colors when hearing music.
    • Trick of the Months: An ingenious lead-in to Shuffle-Bored for more meaningful predictions (assumes knowledge of Aronson’s method).
    • Drowning in Wallets: Finally, a fun way to use all those magic wallets sitting in your drawer.
    • On Point: A game spinner is used to eliminate cards and find a signed selection in a surprising way.
    • Pinky Perch: A walkaround workaround for when your audience have their hands full.
  • Coin Jar: A coin vanishes from a participant’s hand and penetrates a sealed jar of pasta sauce, with the safety button still down.

Plus, two essays on creativity to inspire your own thought bubbles. So, pour yourself a drink (sparkling or otherwise) and dive in.

Hardback, color cover, B&W interior, US Trade (6 x 9 in / 152 x 229 mm), 180 pages.
