From the foreword by Daniel Garcia: “Some of the most clever, modern card thinking I have ever seen.” Published by Vanishing Inc. Magic, Above the Fold is the debut collection from one of magic’s most exciting new talents: Rich Aviles. This intelligent and praiseworthy compilation features thirteen effects and seven moves, each explained with clarity and humor. We pride ourselves on publishing compact yet powerful magic books, showcasing only the strongest material from innovative thinkers. Every trick is worth exploring, practicing, and performing. Here are some highlights: Fax Machine: A card animates, moving on its own and transforming into another card as it travels through the deck. It’s like an ungimmicked rising card effect, but with a twist—no card actually rises. Ballerina Change: With a flourish, the top card is drawn away from the deck. A wave of the hand causes it to change into a different card, only to revert back to the original card in plain sight. Pocket Protectors: This trick is exceptionally rare, capable of completely baffling magician audiences while entertaining non-magicians! It showcases some of the best trick construction we’ve encountered in years! Bystander: Following the strict rules of the International Brotherhood of Magic People, the magician takes a break from performing. During this time, a spectator unknowingly performs the impossible with the deck. The magician then reveals that he predicted every move made by the spectator. “Above the Fold is refreshing—a collection that showcases genuine ingenuity and a unique approach to card magic. I enjoyed every page and trick.”Joshua Jay “I’ve known Rich and his work for years, and I’m thrilled he’s finally sharing his material.
