What do you get when you mash two legendary works of card magic together? You get "Flashpoints" by Ed Marlo, which pairs the classic "Full Tilt" with the elusive "Devilish Miracle" into one tidy eBook package. Now, before you roll your eyes at yet another card trick manual, hear me out. "Full Tilt" is more than just a collection of moves; it’s a masterclass on one of card magic’s most sneaky subtleties, originally introduced by the great Dai Vernon and polished by Ed Marlo himself. This isn't about knuckle-busting controls that leave you sweating bullets; no, this is about the Tilt Concept. It’s so straightforward that anyone can grasp it in mere minutes, yet it’ll have your audience scratching their heads in disbelief.
Spanning 120 pages and featuring 70 photos, “Full Tilt” is a treasure trove of techniques, history, and contributions from magic luminaries like Roger Klause, Neal Elias, Jon Racherbaumer, Ben Harris, David Harkey, Daryl, and Ken Simmons.
Then, there's "Devilish Miracle." First unleashed in 1948, this little gem has been tucked away for years, and it’s about time it saw the light of day again. This 40-page treatise contains the original manuscript, plus all those deliciously sneaky refinements Marlo added over the years. It’s the kind of trick that cardmen have kept under wraps - probably because it’s just that clever!
So, there you have it – two historic tomes in one easy-to-digest volume. No more hunting high and low for elusive magic. Just dive in and get ready to impress!
168 pages, photo-illustrated.
