Best of All Worlds
by Brent Arthur James Geris, Bob Postelnik and Duppy Demetrius

When Brent Geris asked us if we would like to carry the Best of All Worlds Book, we jumped at the opportunity right away. Out of This World is probably Norm’s favorite close-up card trick. (It is one of mine too!)

The Out of This World effect was invented by Paul Curry in the 1940s. In case you are not familiar with it, the basic effect is that the magician hands a spectator a mixed deck of cards, and the spectator simply deals the cards face down into two piles. When the cards are turned over, it is revealed that he has accurately divided the piles into red and black cards. To accomplish this feat the odds are staggering, and this is what makes this effect so impossible and magical in the spectator’s mind.

The authors, Brent Geris, Bob Postelnik and Duppy Demetrius have done an outstanding job in compiling over 30 different routines for this effect, submitted by the world’s leading magicians. The book is full of the history of this effect along with various insights and tips from the performers. Some of the contributors include performers like Allan Ackerman, Jon Armstrong, Max Maven, Michael Weber, Juan Tamariz, Daryl, Richard Kaufman and many, many more.

Finally, the book is beautifully designed – with a gorgeous dust jacket, high quality paper and easy to read type.

This is the definitive tome on this classic magic effect, and will be a great addition to your library.

(Hardbound with dust jacket – 377 pages)
