ALL COPIES WERE HAND-AUTOGRAPHED BY JACK CARPENTER AND JAMIE MASTERSON

Subtitled as “The Innovative Magic of Jack Carpenter” this is Jack’s biggest release to date. It's filled with unpublished material that include routines he's created and honed in the fifteen years since the release of the Expert's Portfolio series, as well as some secrets he's been keeping for even longer.

In addition to elegantly crafted card magic routines and sleights, you'll also find remarkable magic with other items such as coins, rope and even fire. There are 35 total items (28 routines and 7 sleights), all taught in exquisite detail and illustrated with more than 200 photographs. From magic for the card table to walkaround gems that don't require a table, there is something for everyone—including many magician foolers.

These are not pipe dreams or works in progress, but rather top-flight routines that Jack has performed, refined, and perfected. They're all workers that use a regular deck of cards and other common objects. For many of the routines, Jack has even included the full presentations he uses.

Some of the highlights include the "452 Control", which Allan Ackerman says is one of the best multiple shifts ever taught. This ingenious technique is arguably worth the price of the book on its own. Jack has also fooled many magicians with the surprise double climax in his "Final Jazz Aces" routine and has created a clever, easy-to-do, fooling and, most importantly, entertaining routine called "No-Palm Queens to Pocket" in which four Queens travel to your pocket. And, as the name suggests, no palming is required!

This is just a small sample of the amazing and practical material you'll find in Carpenter's Conceptions. It's the type of book you'll find yourself revisiting often.
