Discoveries and Deceptions by John Guastaferro
Hot off the heels of his best-selling book, One Degree (The Magic Cafe's book of the year), John Guastaferro is back! This new lecture book (60 pages) contains an all-new collection of close-up magic from John Guastaferro. There are nine card effects, which can be done anytime, anywhere, with a borrowed deck—and two non-card effects using a borrowed iPhone and borrowed straw. John also shares insights on discovery that will inspire your thinking.
"When you keep increasing, degree by degree, you move from solid to molten to incandescent. What we’ve got here are classic elements Guasta-fired to red-hot!”Stephen Minch
"I am a fan and thoroughly enjoy examining how John puts together his refined card magic. He obviously strives to go beyond clever and, in my opinion, his constructions hit the mark of ‘elegant’ more often than anyone else around. His latest set is no exception—a cool variety of excellent card magic. Highly recommended.”John Bannon
Blackjack Transpo
A participant becomes the ultimate cheater by causing the Ace and Jack to change places while holding one in the card box and the other up his sleeve.
M.I.T. Aces
The magician keeps finding Aces instead of the selected card. All is solved in a final powerful moment.
Book of Clues
The audience digs for clues in the deck to determine the identity of an unknown card, and like any good mystery, there’s a final twist.

Match Game

Daley Prequel

Multi-Mental
