If you’ve got a soft spot for card tricks that hit like a ton of bricks, or if you’ve ever fancied yourself a bit of a mind reader, then Applesauce is your new best mate. This book spills the beans on Patrick's legendary Any Thought of Card at Any Thought of Number (yep, that’s Applesauce), alongside a dozen other routines that’ll keep your audience guessing. You’ll find gems like Mind Reading, The Evolution of a Rain King, Storm, Advantageous, Wipe-out, Stop Poker Tells, Stop Revelation for Platform, Card Counter, The O.P. Spread, Standing Prediction, and Fishing for One. Also, it’s the first time you’ll get the inside scoop on Redford's Double MC Kraser Force. That’s 156 pages of pure, hardback magic goodness!
Every trick in this tome is battle-tested in front of real crowds—both magicians and those poor souls who’ve no idea what’s coming. Patrick’s been advised to keep the price high, you know, to deter those pesky curious minds. Rumour has it, the book should’ve been £150 just for the Applesauce secret alone. And if Howard Hamburg says it’s one of the most mind-boggling effects he’s ever witnessed, you’d best believe it’s worth a gander!
"Some of the most astounding effects I have ever seen performed." - Howard Hamburg
"Grab a deck of cards, pull up a chair, and enjoy the truly delightful work that awaits you." - John Carey
"Another fun set of clever, useful, and subtle ideas from the fertile mind of Patrick Redford." - Paul Vigil
"This will be the go-to book for this kind of effect for a long time. So many great subtleties that can be used in a huge number of ways. This is the perfect example of how devastating and clean mentalism can appear when using some of the techniques of the card magician. But the pure card magician should enter only at his or her peril--Acting Required Here!!" - Jack Shalom
"I've only made it through the first two effects 'Applesauce' and 'Horsefeathers'. As far as I'm concerned those are worth the price of admission right there. I look forward to making my way through this excellent book. It's an absolute steal at 60 dollars!" - David Martin
"Patrick Redford's new book, Applesauce, is a must have. The first two items alone, Applesauce and Horsefeathers are worth the price of admission. Patrick has pushed the concepts of the PM Principle to new and exciting places. These routines are extraordinarily strong and deceptive. Patrick also gives away his A material on apparently memorizing a shuffled deck. I have seen him perform many of the items in the book. They kill." - Mike Powers
