Ryan's idea is simple: if you give the spectator something to hold on to as a possible anchor for
how the trick was done, they will probably miss the very thing that you actually did. Throughout
this book, he gives you effects and ideas that you can use to truly change how you frame your magic.
Nothing is incredibly difficult to learn but you'll have a blast performing them.
My
personal favorite is the opening card trick, where the spectator does literally all the work while
whispering "I love you" to their card, and then you are able to find their card even after they have
shuffled things around. No marked deck, no gimmicks, just pure magic as far as the spectator is
concerned.
The included gimmick is really interesting as well. You may figure out what it's
for when you see it, but just wait until you read what Ryan does with it and you'll love it even
more!
The book itself is gorgeous. It's not very big and probably won't take you long to
read through the first time, but the full color photos throughout help to really explain what each
move is supposed to be. He's an excellent teacher and this book will be a great springboard for some
new thinking in your routines. You'll be looking for places to put false anchors in your existing
material.
