The Buena Vista Shuffle Club - Matt Baker

The Buena Vista Shuffle Club is unlike any other magic book you've read. It combines original methods, plots, and scripts with "jam sessions" between a fictitious group of magicians who analyze and deconstruct the effects in the book. Memorized deck aficionados will have a field day: there are nearly 100 pages devoted to effects with a memorized deck. But the book also contains blockbuster mentalism, impromptu effects with cards and coins, new applications of underground math principles, and "one degree" touches on classics of magic such as Matrix, Shuffle-Bored, and Bill in Lemon. Inside these pages you will find:

• An interactive murder mystery based on the game of "Clue".
• A baffling Three Card Monte routine done with coins.
• A magician-slaying, radically new approach to the classic 21 Card Trick.
• Fascinating new uses for the Gilbreath Principle.
• Routines which surreptitiously restore your memorized stack from a shuffled deck.
• An impromptu mentalism effect, done with borrowed change, in which the spectators make all of the choices (including the prediction itself!).
• A new presentation AND new method for Simon Aronson's classic "Shuffle-Bored".
• A re-imagining of Paul Harris's "The Anything Deck" (which Dan Harlan has called the best version ever).
• And much, much more...
