Finally, the sequel we’ve all been waiting for is here! Get ready to dive into 26 sophisticated, practical, and downright mind-blowing effects from one of card magic's brightest stars.
John Guastaferro made quite the entrance back in 2010 with his book One Degree, which introduced the magic world to his clever "One Degree" theory. This nifty concept shows how just a tiny tweak can turn a basic routine into something remarkable. Even now, One Degree sits proudly as one of Vanishing Inc.'s bestsellers, and magicians everywhere have been clamouring for a follow-up. Well, that day has finally arrived with Nth Degree. John has spent over a decade pushing the limits of his "One Degree" ideas, perfecting these routines in front of real audiences to ensure that only the crème de la crème made it into The Nth Degree. Each effect is as entertaining as it is jaw-dropping.
"There are a few pockets of genuinely good thinking in magic scattered around the world. John Guastaferro occupies one of them." - Stephen Minch
From fresh spins on four-of-a-kind routines to interactive wonders and visual delights like the slow-motion deck vanish called "Double Vanish", John's offering caters to all skill levels and performance styles. He’s even added extra flair to classics, like enhancing the "Omni Deck" with his "Crystal Clear" routine or his stunning kicker for Woody Aragon's "How to Find Your Other Half," where the eliminated pieces also happen to match!
"Just as someone who loves music can identify a song by Gershwin, a person who loves magic can identify an effect by John Guastaferro. He's that good." - David Regal
As you work through these remarkable routines, you'll discover a mix of handy new sleights to slot into your repertoire, such as the "Hands Off Half Pass" and "Proximity Peek Control". Each chapter wraps up with a thought-provoking essay on topics like boosting your creativity or figuring out how to stop getting in your own way. Everything is explained with crystal-clear detail and accompanied by beautiful photographs in this lovely 158-page hardcover book. The Nth Degree radiates the quality and elegance you expect from Vanishing Inc.
"With the Nth Degree, John continues to raise the bar. Exponentially!" - John Bannon
