This collection is stuffed with his favourite mentalism and magic routines, all crafted to leave folks gaping and a little misty-eyed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolpe takes a sharp knife to the traditional mentalism and magic scripts, slicing and dicing them into routines that fit snugly on stage, in parlours, or up close and personal. And because he's a photography buff, the book is splashed with stunning shots from his globetrotting gigs, reminding everyone that magic can be found in the most mundane spots (like your sock drawer, or so he claims). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside this hefty tome, you'll find 15 of his original routines, a brain-tickling essay, and a bonus stash of 9 routines from some rather famous magicians — Steve Cook, Phedon Bilek, Radek Hoffmann, Romanos, Paul McCaig, and Renato Cotini. That's a total of 24 expertly assembled routines, which is more than enough to keep you busy and your audience entertained. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e190 pages, premium colour, paperback perfect bound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHere’s a taste of what you’ll find:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConnected:\u003c\/b\u003e A versatile gem that can spring from any borrowed deck, and let’s be honest, it’s worth the price of the book alone. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Dream Catcher:\u003c\/b\u003e Turn people’s dreams into a magical spectacle, adding a personal touch that’s impossible to forget. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Love Match:\u003c\/b\u003e A charming routine ideal for weddings, leaving couples with a keepsake they won’t toss out. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRemember to Forget:\u003c\/b\u003e A pseudo-hypnotic piece that fits in your pocket, letting you perform it anytime, anywhere (yes, even in a pub). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Wishing Stone Experience:\u003c\/b\u003e A captivating routine that spins the enchanting legend of the wishing stone into pure magic. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDissolve:\u003c\/b\u003e A classic trick rethought with a presentation that actually makes sense, adding depth like a good cup of tea. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDecoding the Mind:\u003c\/b\u003e A mind-boggling stunt where you replicate a spectator's sealed thought — and yes, it’s as mind-blowing as it sounds. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUnlock:\u003c\/b\u003e A routine for stage or parlour that involves the whole crowd, climaxing in a spectator finding the combo to a lock.
