All In boasts more than 400 pages filled with premier material from one of the most esteemed card magicians globally. This remarkable set includes nearly 90 tricks and sleights, showcasing Allan’s extraordinary ability to highlight the nuances that transform a simple card trick into an unforgettable performance.

Beyond his acclaimed book Las Vegas Kardma (1994), Allan has recently shared his insights through limited-edition lecture notes and select videos, which have become hard to find. Now, for the first time, you can access his finest new creations in two exquisite, linen-bound hardcover volumes.

With contributions from renowned magic author John Lovick, All In is not only informative but also a pleasure to read. Each piece of content is meticulously updated, edited, and complemented by stunning full-color images.

The books are thoughtfully divided into sections: techniques and tricks. In the tricks section, you’ll find polished versions of timeless classics, including a no-set-up rendition of MacDonald’s Aces and a Koran-style double thought-of card routine that requires no marked deck. The segment on Memorized Deck Magic, particularly the “Thirty-Minute Memorized Deck,” is sure to spark lively discussions at magician gatherings for years to come.

For those eager to learn versatile techniques, the techniques section will be particularly appealing. Allan’s “HP (Hidden Packet) Maneuver” offers a clever method for controlling, loading, and forcing a card, making it a valuable addition to any magician’s toolkit. His slip shuffle technique, accommodating up to 20 cards, and the impactful “Rhythm Count” false count are standout features.

Published by Vanishing Inc., the premier producer of exceptional magic literature, the All In books are crafted to reflect the high quality of their content. Presented in a beautiful slipcase, these volumes are a stunning addition to any collection.
