Relaxed Impossibilities by Stephen Minch and Ken Krenzel (Hardcover Book)

Advanced card sleights have a reputation for taking years to master. Ken Krenzel set out to change that. In this hardbound book from Hermetic Press, he reworks palms, steals, switches, side steals, bottom deals and top changes so card workers with average skills can add them to their repertoire in weeks instead of years. Once the sleights are covered, Krenzel puts them to work in more than thirty tricks and routines. Many happen entirely in the spectator's hands, which makes for magic that leaves audiences with very few easy answers. Inside: More than 30 new tricks and routines, plus a section of streamlined sleights Facial, a wild-card printing effect where four blank-faced cards duplicate a chosen card Fan World, a fresh take on the Out-of-This-World plot with a freely shuffled deck Strange Hummer, a face-up/face-down prediction performed with a borrowed deck AUTOMACAAN, an any-card-at-any-number effect that can even be performed over the phone 254 pages, hardbound with dust jacket More than 170 illustrations by Earle Oakes
