Unforgettable (English)

Pit Hartling’s modern classic Card Fictions

Since its original publication in 2003, Card Fictions has become a classic of card magic.

David Blaine used a routine from this book for one of his TV specials, Pit himself chose another for his appearance in the FISM Close – Up Gala Show, and effects from Card Fictions are in the professional repertoires of performers all over the world. The book contains a variety of plots, effects and presentations:

You sense the colors of playing cards through a solid table.

Stack four Poker hands in less than ten seconds.

Kick any named number of cards off a tabled deck.

Put chaos to order.

Magically move cards to any positions in the pack at will.

Transpose a card from between a spectator’s hands to under his watch.

Instantly memorize the order of a shuffled deck.

The methods reach from well thought – out sleight of hand to self – working principles and effective psychological strategies. Card Fictions also contains two (entirely practical) theoretical essays, including the famous “Inducing Challenges”.

This new edition contains a number of minor (and one major) handling updates.
