This book is excellent. The French version is a great success.
The U.S. version is new, and I think it will be a success too. |

It's a great book! As I'm French, I read it a few weeks ago, the and the principle Daniel came with is an extension of the Gilbreath principle. It's excellent!
There's also a good, and new control, and many effects using those new ideas. Very clever work, I really recommend this!

It's my pleasure to provide a review for this book
As we all know the Gilbreath principle is terrifying in its beauty and this little book brings more terror and beauty The first part provides a few effects that are not based on the new version of the principle..., all are good and a couple are excellent. The second section shows the new principle at work - a couple of fantastic effects here... The last section has a couple of other things in..., again very good. This is already one of my favourite books, and I've owned it one day. |

Thanks but I hope there will be another soon
It's rare to find a book like peristance because all the effects are very strong and very easy to do (except Automatic Perfect Prediction - version 3 Automatic Perfect Prediction - version 4 and Diviction because they use faro) |

Questions. In the Gilbreath Principle the spectator can under certain conditions shuffle the deck - which was a large part of creating the "Miracle effects". What is it the Paristance build on top? Can the spectators shuffle even more? Or what.
I'm not asking for any hints on mehtod, simply what extra weapons/benefits do we get from this? |

Extract of the book of Daniel Peris
"The Peristance Terms Let a deck be set up by n groups of m cards so that the first card of each group belongs to a set of cards named S1, the second card of each group belongs to a set of cards named S2 …, the same rank card of each group belongs to a set named Sm. - If we cut this deck any number of times (only using cuts in two packets and then putting the bottom one onto the top one); - then if we invert the order of any number of cards dealing one by one the top cards, and so obtaining two packets of cards; - then if we riffle shuffle these two packets of cards (inserting one into the other); so the final deck will contain n groups of m cards, and each group will contains one card from S1, one card from S2, … one card from Sm. The rank of the cards in each group is not conserved. Moreover, depending on the definitions of the sets S1, S2, … , Sm, we will be able to define a set of values (this set could contain only one value) linking the groups." |

About peristance, GERARD BAKNER caution :
Foreword Daniel asked me to write the foreword of his book. But everybody knows (and I am not the first person who says this) that the forewords are never read by anybody. Therefore I had the idea to rather write a Warning. Be careful! The book you are holding in your hands is dangerous! Admit that this opening draws your attention. I can prove that: you are reading this famous foreword. Why is this book dangerous? Well, because if you perform the tricks it contains (and I advise you to), the audience will nearly think that you are really a witch. The Daniel's tricks are based on clever mathematics principles, but you don't need to be a mathematician to perform them. Each presented trick prepares the following one. Everything is done purposely. Playing cards, calculators, letter cards, book-test, all these are clever and thought. You will learn (for instance) a remarkable method to force the word “blue”. Once the explained principle assimilated, you'll be able to force any word you want. Here, we are near the absolute mental magic. You will also be able to make people think that you can calculate quicker than a calculator, or even that you can guess in advance the result of any random operation. Daniel has performed some of the tricks explained in this book, during several magic conventions. Each time, he has received an award. This book is terribly clever. Use it cleverly … Gérard Bakner May 2008 |

After writing this post, I realized I should preface it by stating I am a nerd, geek, etc. Multiple degrees, love math, etc. As such, everything I say needs to be couched in the statement that I love math, know a fair bit about it, and have had quite a love affair with the Gilbreath principle since learning of it years ago.
Ok, so got this book the other day and I have finished reading it through for the first time. As such, these are just my INITIAL thoughts on the book. First of all, I got a bit of a kick how Part 1 was put together like a math book. For those of us who have been away from math books for a while, it goes like this: Section showing very basic idea (2+2 = 4) Section showing slight variation of basic idea (1+3 = 4) Add new idea (subtraction) Show first basic idea with new idea addition (if 2+2=4, then 4-2=2) Show second basic idea with new idea addition (if 1+3=4, then 4-1=3) Math books are written this way for a reason, and it plays very well in part 1 of the book. So that was amusing. The criticism I have for part 1 is also the criticism I have for the whole book, namely that it uses a very complicated idea to do something very simple. Sort of like using an atomic bomb to remove a backyard deck. This is all fine and dandy but often the end result is something that could be done more simply with basic forces, a crimped card, or a short card. Let me be honest here, I was really fascinated with the control people are talking about but, in all honesty, I have way easier controls that are at least as convincing in my toolkit already. With that being said, there were some nifty little effects that might find a place in my personal toolkit for other effects. One example is the "Stronger and Stronger" effect that might find a place replacing force matrices. The highlight of the entire book, for me, was "Thoughts about The Peristance", where the math is a bit more obvious. I that is because it isn't being diluted by forced inclusion into effects that have much simpler methods. This, for me, is where the book actually demonstrates it usefulness. This usefullness will only be realized by people who actually create their own effects from scratch and, as such, will probably be the LEAST favorite section for many people. I can't give this a numerical score yet because I want to let it percolate around my brain before I give it another read. However, even as a guy who loves math, I was less than impressed initially. For less money, I found more useful things in "The Essential Stewart James" (AAG Principle would be an example). I hope going back over this will make me rethink my stance on Peristance. I'll try to let you all know. |

Lemniscate, I to love math...unfortunately my apptitude for it is not as high as my love of math. I wish it was higher.
