Hey friends! My brand new magic book SYNTHESIS & SECRETS is now available for preorder via Kickstarter in an extremely limited print run of only 500 copies. Once they're gone, they're gone: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/syn......our-acts

So what's in the book? This clothbound hardcover volume features 20 of my favourite close-up effects and sleights with cards, coins, and more as well as 9 stimulating essays on the synthesis of magic and theatre inspired by my career as a playwright, director, actor, and magic designer; including my time as the Resident Magic Associate for the Canadian premiere of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Inside you'll find:

- An in-depth treatise of my famous Kras Change, which transforms one card into another in visually stunning fashion. This practical move and its myriad applications - including brand new, unpublished tricks - have never been covered in such great detail! See it in action here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwaqAfgsnI7/

- A number of clever pieces inspired by the work of Paul Harris, including transpositions, transformations, and an impromptu Torn & Restored Card with no gimmicks or extra bits

- An eerie Light and Heavy Coin effect that uses an old, underrated gaff in a brand new way

- A visual midair link of a key onto a keyring

- A Coins Across using three initialled coins

- An Open Prediction with a blindsiding kicker ending

- and much more!

This book - which is designed by Stone Henslee, illustrated by Sara Froese, and edited by Mike Vance - represents 15 years of my creative practice as a magician, and I'm proud to share it with you in this limited print run. Secure your copy on Kickstarter today! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/syn......our-acts

122% funded on Kickstarter and already nearly 1/5 sold out of the entire print run half a year before its release! I won't be printing more after this run either.

If you want to grab the book, now is the best time to secure a copy.

Here's another little teaser: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2YkuGA8XfKA

I've been so thrilled so far with the response to this book! The first few hundred copies that went out to magic shops worldwide are largely SOLD OUT, with just a few floating around out there still.

The final restock will be going to dealers at the end of October, and that will be the last batch of this edition ever! Once they're gone, they're gone!

Does anyone have the book yet? What are your favourite pieces?
