This book is a gold—no, PLATINUM—mine for the advanced card worker. I haven’t even begun to mine its contents, and already I’m learning the best push-through shuffle I’ve ever seen, while Jamie’s push-off technique is becoming the first practical multiple-lift variant I’ve added to my repertoire in thirty years. His chapter on deck switches offers variations on a theme—and, better still, inspires additional variations of one’s own. He also teaches other shuffles, cuts, and controls: advanced but practical handlings of all the basics. I haven’t even begun to venture into the tricks Jamie teaches, and I’ve already gotten more than my money’s worth. There aren’t that many books devoted specifically to advanced card work. There’s Vanishing Inc.’s beautiful reincarnation of Marlo’s Magazine material, along with shelves full of other Marlo works. There’s Allan Ackerman’s All In. For me, Jamie’s book packs more punch per inch of shelf space than any of them. The explanations are clear and beautifully detailed, supplemented by photographs that clarify the text whenever needed. This book is destined to become a classic of its kind.

This book is amazing, if you’re a card guy. This is pure excellence. I’m a Jack carpenter, Darwin Ortiz, Ed Marlo ,Jason ladayne ,Allen Ackerman type of card guy and this book is exceptional. I’m going through some really hard times at the moment and being able to lose myself into this book has been a nice place of meditation for me. I’m very happy with this purchase and if you into the names I mentioned and you slept on this the first time around sign up for the restock and buy it instantly when it returns. Have a nice everyone 😊
