Description

There are a few card magicians who IMMEDIATELY grab our attention, and David Solomon is one. Why? He has built a career around devising extremely clever, surprising, and (mostly) easy to do card magic. His tricks and plots are NOT derivative. Instead, they often SET the trends for what others will work on and tinker with, but Solomon provides endless hours of enjoyment with his card magic creations. ALL of his books are titles we return to often, and so a new book is a welcome treat, and a big deal. Don’t hesitate–jump at the chance to own Solomon’s Secrets before it goes out of print.

A confidant of Ed Marlo, and a stalwart of the “Chicago Session” (with John Bannon and Simon Aronson), Solomon has developed his own style and reputation as a creator of superlative and cunning card tricks.

Over the last ten years, he has published more than 100 tricks online, in print, and shared them via DVD. Now, he has compiled the best of them in this, his latest must-have volume.

Solomon’s Secrets includes 50 card effects, among them nuanced performance effects, poker tricks, card matches, mental miracles, updated mathematical approaches, and personal takes on classic plots. Among the noteworthy effects explained are Solomon’s Simple Oil and Water, The Finger Print Trick, Folded Discovery, Matcho From a Shuffled Deck, Blah Day Clock, and Spectator Cuts U Count.

The book’s 208 pages are filled with detailed instructions, complemented by over 200 photos that clearly illustrate all sleights, layouts, and procedures. At the end of most effects, the reader is invited into “Solomon’s Mind,” to better understand the thinking behind each effect, as well as its development and the ideas which led to its creation.

Solomon’s Secrets is a an essential addition to any card enthusiast’s library, providing original, thought provoking material for performance repertoires or simply for the fun of it.
