Introducing the latest gem in the magic world: Card Thrillers by Paul Gordon.
If you had a blast with Card Startlers and Card Foolers, you’re in for a treat with Card Thrillers. This hefty tome packs 160 brand-spanking-new card routines that are not just powerful but actually doable (no smoke and mirrors here). With a whopping 288 pages, it’s a hardback that’s as classy as a night out at the pub—cloth-covered and saddle-stitched for your reading pleasure. And trust me, it’s brimming with delightful surprises! The promo video showcases twenty-one full, unedited routines straight from the book, which is a rarity (and honestly, quite refreshing). Paul’s motto? Each book must outdo the last, and he’s convinced Card Thrillers is his finest work yet. Expect one solid effect after another, and most tricks are wrapped up in just a page or two—because Paul knows how to keep things crisp and clear. Oh, and there’s a section dedicated to sleights too!
Over the years, Paul’s knack for performing and creating has earned him high praise from the likes of Jeff McBride, Richard Sanders, Boris Wild, Dan Harlan, Jim Sisti, Harry Lorayne, Aldo Colombini, Roy Walton, Alex Elmsley, David Regal, and a few more names you might recognise (no biggie). If those legends trust Paul, you should probably take a peek at his work...
The best response we've ever had from a laymen audience at Penguin Live was that from Paul Gordon performing at the bar during his Penguin Live Lecture." - Dan Harlan
"Paul Gordon is a modern master of close-up magic. His extensive knowledge and ability to create visual and stunning routines is unmatched in the world. He is one of the best teachers I've seen with cards, and I'm always inspired by his creativity. I've been collecting his magic for years, and he always motivates me to become a better magician. I recommend Paul Gordon's extraordinary tutorials to all of our students at The Magic and Mystery school. His plots, presentations and direct methods are fine examples of modern card magic entertainment." - Jeff McBride

No easy feat with just an ordinary deck of cards!" - Richard Sanders

Throughout, Paul maintained the energy, pace, fun, and enthusiasm that characterize his approach to magic. " - Ian Rowland
