Description & Effect
Unlock the Secrets of the 14/15 Principle
Delve into the world of card magic with Steve Beam's latest masterpiece, "Smokers." This isn't just another magic book; it's a comprehensive exploration of the often-overlooked 14/15 Principle. Following the success of his "Semi-Automatic Card Tricks" series, Beam presents a deep dive into this powerful technique, revealing its history, milestones, and future possibilities.
A Textbook and Roadmap
"Smokers" functions as both a textbook and a roadmap. Beam meticulously explains the 14/15 Principle, tracing its origins and highlighting its significant developments. But he doesn't stop there. He propels the principle forward, introducing new effects, subtle nuances, tangential ideas, and stack variations that will elevate your card magic to new heights. This book challenges conventional thinking and expands the boundaries of what you thought was achievable.
More Than Just a Principle
This 184-page hardcover is not only a definitive reference on the 14/15 Principle, but also an engaging and entertaining read. Beam understands that a principle, no matter how powerful, is useless without practical applications. Therefore, "Smokers" provides a wealth of effects to exploit the principle, giving you the recipes to transform raw ingredients into stunning magical performances.
Rapid Stack Access
One of the most remarkable aspects of the 14/15 Principle, as taught in "Smokers," is the ability to achieve a stacked deck in a matter of seconds. You can transition from a new-deck order to a fully stacked deck in just 5 to 15 seconds, and all in full view of your audience. This incredible feat adds a layer of impossibility to your performances, leaving spectators astonished.
Original Specs
This brand new volume from Steve Beam is the first since he completed the popular Semi-Automatic Card Tricks series.
The 184-page hardcover is all about the often overlooked 14/15 Principle. It explains the principle, explores the history, and details the major milestones in the use of the principle. It then moves from the past to focus on the future with new effects, subtleties, tangents, and stacks. This is not just a magic book. It's a textbook on a powerful principle and a roadmap showing you where and how to use it. It pushes the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. This is the one-stop reference book on the principle but it's also a fun read. And, a principle or a stack, without good effects to exploit it, is like having great ingredients but no recipe.
And while the 14/15 Principle typically uses a stack, you can get there in 5 to 15 seconds from new-deck order, all in front of the audience. If that doesn't make your dangly bits stand up and take notice, maybe you should try coin magic.
