Chris Congreave's Curiouser and Curiouser was written for workers by a true worker. It's filled with more than 20 practical and commercial routines for the close-up performer, as well as two insightful essays on performing close-up magic at events, dealing with alpha males, pocket management, approaching a table and much more.

Contents

  • Dead Cut Prediction: A freely thought-of card is written on the back of the Jokers.
  • Anniversary in my Pocket: Chris's unique take on the classic Anniversary waltz
  • Upper Hand: A super cool 4 for 4 transposition card trick
  • Whoops: A fun card routine where the spectator signs the back of the card instead of the face. This is the PERFECT backup trick for when a spectator accidentally signs the back of a card before you start an ambitious card routine or another signed card trick.
  • Cut, Stop, Think: A mind-boggling card magic routine that predicts exactly what card the spectator will stop at, cut to and think of.
  • Stop and Think: An abbreviated version of the "Cut, Stop, Think" trick that uses a different method to make it a real worker.
  • Drawn: A super commercial card trick that leaves your spectator with a brilliant souvenir. This hidden gem was only available in the past via a limited run booklet.
  • Re-Drawn: A different take on "Drawn."
  • Coin to Anywhere: An aptly named coin magic miracle
  • Mental Coins: A clever idea by Gary Jones that allows you have a freely predicted number on a coin.
  • Card at Almost Any Number: A total magician fooler with a super commercial kicker ending that's never been published anywhere else
  • Locked, Marked and Reloaded: The continued evolution of a trick called "Marked Cards" that appeared in Chris' first book.
  • A Freely Named Card: As the name implies, a freely named joker appears written on the back of 2 Jokers you remove from your pocket
  • Stickman Stan: A really commercial routine that leaves the spectator with a brilliant souvenir and is great for kids and adults alike.
  • Turbo Card: A turbo stick is combined with a card trick to create visual fast-paced magic.
  • Hopping Lemon: A super practical and commercial coin routine for table-hopping magicians that has a "chop cup" feel and a kicker ending they'll never see coming.
  • Destination Amazed: A mentalism trick using business cards to predict a freely thought of destination .
  • Thanks to Dave: Using 4 pieces of a ripped-up card, it changes into a selected card 1 piece at a time.
  • Comedy Card to Wallet: Routine and prop included
  • 52 on 1 Kickback Thingy: A cleverly unique way to use a 52 on 1 card that results in it transforming into a thought-of card
  • Lucky Card - Card in Lanyard: Previously featured in Chris' "At the Table Lecture", this book features both the original and an updated handling that removes the use of gimmicks.
  • Gambit: A nice coin prediction effect using a gaff you probably already own.
  • GMT: A quick impromptu card trick from Gary Jones.
  • Whoops: A fun card routine where the spectator signs the back of the card instead of the face. This is the PERFECT backup trick for when a spectator accidentally signs the back of a card before you start an ambitious card routine or another signed card trick.
  • Dr. Daley's Mystery: Using a shuffled deck, "Dr. Daley's Last Trick" combines with the classic "Mystery Card" plot.
  • Coin Prediction: You ask a spectator to guess how much money is in handful of change. They say £2.57. When you display it there is £1.64 (or whatever). You then go on to predict what coin they will finish with, whether its heads or tails and for the finale, you reveal that you had predicted £2.57 too. (No PW)
 

Customer reviews for Curiouser & Curiouser

Reviewer

Gerhard

Once again as with Curiosly enough some great workers. Very practical and real world workers. I prefer Curiosly Enough above this book but this is still a good buy. As mentioned before I don't care that much for self published books as they don't have the production values of E.g VI published books. This book is very readable but lacks charm. Still it's pretty good!
