Mnemonica - Juan Tamariz Mnemonica - Juan Tamariz
In Stock NOW

A celebrity of television and stage in Spain and South America, JUAN TAMARIZ is known internationally among magicians as a true master of his art, and one who generously shares his time and knowledge, both in print and in person, with the magic community. He is the author of three critically acclaimed best-selling books in English: The Five Points of Magic, The Magic Way and Sonata. Along with Arturo de Ascanio, Tamariz has spearheaded a school of thought in close-up magic that has produced FISM award-winning champions and deeply influenced the craft of magic worldwide.

Among those things Juan Tamariz is most recognized for, among magicians, is his trailblazing work with the memorized deck—a tool with extraordinary potential for creating utterly baffling magic. Over the past two decades, Tamariz has been the recognized leader in its use and, with Simon Aronson in the United States (who contributes an introduction to this book), the most influential.

Tamariz's memorized deck stack, "Mnemonica", has become a legend with card magicians throughout the world, and within this book he reveals at last its complete workings, as well as teaching the reader how to memorize the stack-forever—in as little as three hours. Accompanying this information are more than a hundred tricks and routines that radically expand the range of effects commonly thought possible with a memorized deck, and an annotated bibliography that leads the reader to an amazing body of additional material on the memorized deck, making Mnemonica the most complete study of its subject ever done.

Mnemonica is a virtual encyclopedia on the subject of memorized-deck magic, by the world's leading exponent and one of magic's acknowledged masters. It is a book crammed with magic from the working repertoire of Juan Tamariz, magic that leaves everyone, public and magicians, utterly astounded. It is a book capable of changing the reader's entire approach to card magic, and a work that supports Juan Tamariz's reputation as one of the most important and creative thinkers in magic today.

Sankey Unleashed by Jon Racherbaumer Sankey Unleashed by Jon Racherbaumer

Jay Sankey creates and performs some of the world's most original magic.

Sankey Unleashed, his newest book, is a testament to Sankey's unmatched creative abilities. The book features and astonishing 81 creations, making it a mother load of magical miracles.

In addition to powerful, direct card and coin magic, Sankey Unleashed details the work on tricks with keys, balls, pens, eggs, books, pencils, business cards, billiard chalk, markers, credit cards, and even tomatoes! With such a wide assortment of materials and such a staggering number of tricks described - at every skill level - Sankey Unleashed truly contains something for everyone.

Highlights include:

Nightcap - After signing his name on a card, the spectator tries to put the cap back on the marker, only to find that it is now a solid, cylindrical tube!

Back in Time - a seemingly ordinary pick-a-card trick becomes a time traveling experience. A reality-shaking effect for the lay-public, and incredibly easy to do.

Stretching It - in which a borrowed finger ring is visibly stretched to three times its length. It then visibly shrinks back to normal, and is returned to its lender.

Leaving Home - a modern classic, and one that comes as close to real visual magic as possible. Spectators witness the magician visibly plucking a house key off the center of a loop of cord. Just as easily, and perhaps more visually, the key is thrown back on to the cord!

These brief descriptions barely scratch the surface. Jam-packed with magic that you will do, Sankey Unleashed is an incredible value.

Written by Jon Racherbaumer, illustrated by Earle Oakes. 8.5" x 11", hardbound. 192 pages. A Squash Publishing release.
