The Sticky Blue Book
by Anthony Owen

Anthony Owen is the BAFTA award winning producer of The Secret World of Magic, The Quick Trick Show, Monkey Magic, The Greatest Magic Tricks in the Universe, Marc Paul's Mind Games, Magick, Thomas Solomon: Escape Artist and Derren Brown's specials and series'. He has also created material for David Copperfield, Paul Daniels, Geoffrey Durham, John Lenahan, Dominic Wood and many others.

This book offers his revolutionary new approach to card magic. It is packed with great tricks and comes complete with the necessary fake cards and Changin' Glue 2-Way Pen. Until now, this great new scientific discovery has been kept a secret by many of the world's top card magicians - but, at last, it is now available!

This book contains routines from Peter Duffie, John Lenahan, Angelo Carbone, Julian Dixon and Anthony Owen. These include super-clean handlings of many classic effects and some great new plots.

Contents include: The Perfect No-Palm Card to Wallet - A free signed selection appears inside ANY wallet, which was on the table before the card was chosen!

Sticky Intruder - A super clean handling of the Open Prediction effect. The spectator deals the cards face up onto the table. One card is dealt face down unseen - it is flipped over to reveal it is the only card in the pack with a cross on the face. The spectator can keep this marked selection as a souvenir.

On The Level - A quick, visual, entertaining routine. An ideal opener. One of the hits of Peter Duffie's acclaimed lecture - now available to all.

The Light Card - No palming required in this version of Darwin Ortiz's Dream Card effect, in which a marked contrasting backed card sealed in a wallet becomes the signed selection.

Sticky Blue Brainwave - Now you can perform the classic Brainwave Deck effect with ANY deck of cards. No more counting to thirteen, no more pencil dots, just great audience reactions!

Caravan Travellers - Anthony Owen's acclaimed handling of Larry Jennings' Open Travellers. Now transformed from a finger buster into a great routine anybody can do.
