TESSERACT

Par Mike Powers

Longtemps attendu, le nouveau livre de Mike Powers est enfin là ! Après Power Plays (élu “Livre de l’année” sur le Magic Café), Mike Powers revient avec 55 bijoux (cartes, pièces, élastiques, carte de visite, iphone, etc.), dont plusieurs tours automatiques qui blufferont tout le monde, y compris les magiciens. Le livre contient également quelques effets de mentalisme.

Bien qu’essentiellement consacré au close-up, certains de ces effets peuvent être présentés devant des publics plus larges.

En plus du livre, vous avez accès à de très nombreuses vidéos en ligne, expliquant TOUTES les techniques (même les plus simples) nécessaires à l’exécution des routines expliquées dans le livre.

N.B.: En géométrie, le “tesseract”, aussi appelé 8-cellules ou octachore, est l’analogue quadridimensionnel du cube…

Livre en anglais, couverture rigide, 296 pages et 336 photos.

Description originale

Mike Powers’s long-awaited new book, TESSERACT, is now out! TESSERACT follows on the heels of Mike’s last book, Power Plays, which was voted “Book of the Year” on the Magic Café and runner up “Book of the Year” in the prestigious “Magic Industry Awards.” You may know Mike from his top-selling trick, Diminishing Returns – one of the great visual magic effects. It was recently featured on Masters of Illusion.

TESSERACT is a large format (8.5×11″), hardback book with a full color dustjacket. Inside are 55 gems of mostly close-up magic, although some items are suitable for a larger audience. Mike’s teaching abilities have been honed over the last 40 years as both a professor of physics and a working magician. The book is graced with over 330 photos for ease of understanding. Furthermore, Mike provides free online access to video instruction on the moves needed to accomplish the magic.

There’s plenty of great card magic in TESSERACT. But you’ll also find mind-blowing tricks using coins, paper money, rubber bands and rings, envelopes, a business card and an iPhone. There are a couple of mentalism items and one killer memorized-deck effect that’s stack independent and maintains stack order. And the “Pure Mathematics” section contains some self-workers that will fry magicians and lay persons alike.

The last trick in the book, Heisting Histed Heisted 3.0, is Mike’s latest version of his wildly popular Heisting Histed Heisted series. It was a huge hit in his Penguin lecture. This is as close to real mindreading as you’re going to get.

So, enter the world of TESSERACT. Beef up your repertoire. Share the magic.
