{"product_id":"forged-by-fire-by-christoph-borer-1","title":"Forged by Fire by Christoph Borer","description":"\u003cp\u003eMore than 40 professional routines from one of the most imaginative magicians on the planet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Germany, Christoph Borer is practically a household name. He’s penned a bunch of magic books that have been showered with praise from the community (and rightly so). But aside from his hit trick “Get Sharky”, English-speaking audiences have been left in the dark. Well, that changes with \u003cb\u003eForged by Fire.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanishing Inc. has painstakingly translated Christoph's finest routines into English, so now everyone can bask in his genius. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eForged by Fire\u003c\/b\u003e is packed with \u003cb\u003e40+ professional routines\u003c\/b\u003e that have been tried and tested in front of actual audiences (not just your cat). Christoph has a knack for adding creative twists and using quirky props, making classic concepts feel fresh and exciting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exceptional tome has something for everyone—whether you're into close-up, parlor, stage, mentalism, or magical storytelling. Honestly, it would be a miracle if you didn’t walk away with at least a handful of new favourite routines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake, for instance, a routine where words scrawled by a participant dramatically change colours right before their eyes. Or another where you and a participant discover each other's thought-of cards (cue dramatic music). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen there’s “My Magical Friend” — a jaw-dropper where the audience collaborates to conjure an address that magically appears on a parcel that’s been chilling on the table the whole time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Tear Off” is bound to tickle your fancy. A corner is ripped off their chosen card, and when you fan out the deck, every card has a corner missing! As a delightful twist, you reveal that their selected card is now the only one intact. How’s that for a kicker? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd you’re going to love “Firebrand”. Christoph's creativity is off the charts in this one, transforming a classic card trick into a grand parlor piece using a book. An antique coin is wrapped in tissue, placed on an old tome, and then—boom!—it bursts into flames. It’s revealed that the coin melted through the cover, landing neatly on a page chosen earlier. Talk about dramatic!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is just a sneak peek of the plethora of incredible routines awaiting you in \u003cb\u003eForged by Fire.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you'd expect from the wizards at Vanishing Inc., the book itself is an absolute stunner.
