What You Need to Know

All routines, except for Fashion Statement, can be performed solo. While basic illusion knowledge isn’t a prerequisite, familiarity with illusion building is essential if you plan to construct the illusions yourself. Alternatively, any illusion builder or stage prop maker can handle the construction for you.

Additionally, the book includes an in-depth explanation of J.C.’s Developmental Force, a cunning enhancement to the traditional Magician’s Force using playing cards or envelopes.
