Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.
Welcome back to the mind of Simon Aronson, where card magic meets sheer genius! If you've been around the block in the magic world, you know Simon's been at the forefront of innovative card magic for over 25 years. He’s taken his mentalism chops and card wizardry, mixed them in a cauldron of creativity, and what do you get? A collection of card miracles that don’t require a PhD in sleight of hand. Seriously, you won’t have to break a sweat with these.
The Aronson method is like a magic smoothie—blending subtleties, stacks, sleights, mathematics, and a dash of improvisation to yield impossibly clean "hands-off" magic that leaves your audience scratching their heads in disbelief, muttering, "But you didn’t do anything!"
In this second volume, Simon's cherry-picked his favorite creations, and trust me, they’re as fun as they are baffling. The performances are light-hearted and friendly—perfect for sharing a laugh with your audience while you watch them question their own reality. The explanations? They’re classic Simon—thorough, insightful, and packed with the kind of subtleties that’ll have you nodding along, saying, “Ah, so that’s why!” Think of it as a backstage pass to Simon’s creative process.
Volume 2 includes:
-
Prior Commitment - Two Jokers magically appear in the deck and locate two cards that spectators freely cut to. But wait for the kicker: those Jokers have predicted the exact spots of the spectators’ cuts! Thanks to Simon's UnDo Influence principle, this one is practically self-working—so deceptive you might fool yourself!
-
The Calendar Card - The classic birthday book plot just got a face-lift! Simon’s streamlined version packs a punch big enough for a stage, complete with his favorite presentation and a colorful prop that turns heads!
-
Head Over Heels - Here’s a new move that controls and reverses a freely chosen card with ease. Simon shares its applications, including the Invisible Card and a mind-blowing in-the-hands Triumph!
-
Red See Passover - This classic odd-backed, thought-of card across routine is a killer combination of methods, yielding an exceptionally clean miracle with not one, but four climaxes! Michael Close puts it best: “Red See Passover is one of the five strongest card tricks you can do for anyone.”
-
Quadruple Spellbound - A spellbound routine that’s anything but ordinary: watch a coin change four times! It’s visual, it’s clean, and it’s the one trick Simon performs more than any other!
-
Random Sample Shuffle-bored - Simon's Shuffle-bored is a worldwide classic. Even when two spectators have their way with the deck, you’ll still know the exact face-up and face-down condition of every card! Here, Simon reveals his favorite, most entertaining presentation, complete with a special foldout prop.
And there’s more! Simon dives deep into the birthday book theme, performing and explaining Anytime Birthday Shopping (perfect for your wallet!) and Fate (where a spectator picks any card before revealing their birth date).
“The word 'brilliant' is an understatement when it comes to describing Simon Aronson's wonderful contributions to card magic.”
- Bill Malone
“It's hard to say which is more amazing: Simon's miraculous effects, his diabolical methods, or the depth and detail of his thinking.”
- John Banno
