I read a post elsewhere on the forum that Juan Tamariz was working on an english translated book of Woody Aragons material. Anyone have any ideas as to when this is due for release ? I've read a few of his effects translated and there's some great ideas there especially his peformance of Aronson's shuffle board

I'm also looking forward to this. I have no idea of the time table, but I really enjoyed the routines I've seen from Woody in Steve Beam's Semi-Automatic Card Trick books.

I'm glad there is an english language book on it's way I did try to translate his "Woodysmo" book but found a bit hard going and although I got the general gist of the methods there are some still some parts of each effect I can't work out. It contains the Shuffle Board effect above and also his routine for the Ten Card Poker Deal which he does in the videos below. Just a shame I can't work out the 2nd phase hopefully it will be in the english book.

^^ Hey, I will (hopefully) be getting his book soon. I will be having it ship from Spain, when I receive it (in a couple of weeks) I can help you out magicphill. I know both Spanish and English proficiently so it shouldn't be so hard for me to give you a translation.
If you're interested let me know!

I'll publish the book by myself.
I apologize all my videos are in Spanish, but, if you understand me in my native language, there is another video with my routine "The Human Scale", a version of the classic "Weighing the cards", which is a Juan Tamariz favourite.

It will be available from Woody or your favorite dealer worldwide. It is being printed in the USA. It will most likely be $49.95 and is quite a massive book. I believe you will really enjoy and get use from the thinking and effects.

I have been fortunate enough to be in charge of the book's translation. I can only say that, just as Mr. Trono, I was constantly fooling myself and being amazed at the quality of the stuff in the book. I really think everyone outside spain deserved the chance to get to know Woody's magic, and this book is the perfect opportunity. I just hope the translation makes it justice. Translating the book has taken almost a year of hard work, and I wish the book gets the success and attention it deserves... well, I don't know what else to say, except for... CONGRATULATIONS WOODY!!

I've been impressed by his routines in the Semi Automatic card series notably Si Fry and Psychic Poker both of which appear in the new book
In Si Fry from a deck cut and shuffled by the spectator you divine a small packet of cards. The cards can even be hidden away from view yet you still know the cards. With Psychic Poker from a deck shuffled by the spectator the cards are dealt into four poker hands this can all be done without the magician touching the deck. You then place a dollar bill/note to the hand you think will win and proceed to divine each hand accurately even the position of the cards in one of the hands. Finally its revealed that you did indeed predict the winning hand but even better when the note is opened up on it is written the exact cards that would be in that hand.
Both tricks rely on old principles but used in ways I've not seen before. Hoping the rest of the material in the new book will be just as good

Nice full-page ad in the new issue of Genii!
No release date in the ad, though!
Is a release date known?

I also saw Woody perform in the IBM close up contest. His book is now out and you can get it from Penguinmagic.
The spelling trick he did is outstanding.

Yes,they are a good dealer but I'd guess it will be at a few more dealers soon.

Thanks for the hint. It's still (funny!) not available in Europe; as I couldn't resist I ordered too from Penguin. And yes, there are excellent. Jan

Murphy's is carrying them, so all the dealers should have them within a week.
