Verbal Magic by Juan Tamariz

Format: PDF

When it happens in their hands – The most powerful magic occurs in the audience’s hands.

A lesser-known truth is: The more it happens in their hands, the more impactful the magic becomes.

Imagine if all the magic unfolded right in their hands.

This is the vision that inspired Juan Tamariz, Spain’s premier magician. His innovative approach has captivated audiences across Spain and Latin America through radio, television, stage performances, and close-up magic. His illusions have mystified both laypeople and seasoned magicians alike.

With just a few playing cards, paper, and everyday items, Tamariz guides audiences through a series of engaging experiences that lead to astonishing revelations. By blending classic and contemporary techniques with insightful psychology and groundbreaking methods, he enables spectators to experience magic for themselves. As you explore the radio transcripts included in this book, you’ll find yourself equally amazed.

Open the pages and become part of the wonder. Share this excitement with your audiences, whether they are tuning in via radio, watching on television, or sitting right in front of you.

Join Juan Tamariz as he invites you to take a selection of red and black cards, mixing them in seemingly random ways. Yet, by the end, the colors separate magically! You will perform the Oil and Water effect yourself, completely unaware of how it happened—just like countless others who have experienced this while listening to Tamariz on the radio, on television, or in live settings.

Participants freely choose a card, lose it among others, and then miraculously find their selections—without any understanding of the method. The magic transcends Tamariz’s hands and becomes theirs!

This book compiles over forty meticulously crafted tricks and presentations, honed through professional performances. Close collaborator Gema Navarro, under Juan Tamariz’s guidance, has carefully transcribed performances from numerous radio broadcasts. These detailed transcripts allow readers to first fool themselves and then equip them with the knowledge to entertain and astonish their own audiences, along with the tools to create additional effects that occur entirely in their hands and minds.

Within the realm of magic literature, there are few participation effects suitable for radio and television performances, making these tricks highly sought after by professionals. In Verbal Magic, Juan Tamariz unveils the most extensive collection of such magic ever presented, exploring new directions and teaching principles with vast potential for further exploration. This type of magic proves equally captivating whether performed up close or in theatrical settings. As an added bonus, Verbal Magic offers an unprecedented glimpse for non-Spanish speakers into the experience of being part of Tamariz’s audience, showcasing how a master magician entertains and mystifies simultaneously.
