Discover a groundbreaking approach to memorized deck magic with Joshua Jay’s innovative system, The Particle System. Whether you’re a seasoned magician or a newcomer, this book offers valuable insights for everyone interested in card magic.

For years, Joshua Jay relied on the Aronson Stack, but he took a bold step by developing his own stack after over a decade of careful refinement. Now, The Particle System is available for you to explore.

Having amazed audiences worldwide in his acclaimed shows, Six Impossible Things and Look Closer, Joshua’s system allows you to cut to any named card without looking, making it a powerful tool for any magician. But it offers much more than just a way to perform think-a-card tricks.

This comprehensive system features numerous built-in advantages and is designed to be easier to learn than traditional stacks, opening up new possibilities for your card magic.

With a beautifully crafted cloth-linen hardcover, this book not only teaches you the intricacies of the system but also includes mind-blowing routines that maximize its potential. A dedicated chapter on false shuffles and techniques to enhance the impact of the “Particle Stack” is included, all presented with expert detail and vibrant color photographs.

Once you delve into The Particle System, you’ll find it hard to go back to any other deck.

What is the Particle System?

Unlike traditional memorized decks that maintain a complete card order, the Particle Stack can be segmented, each offering unique effects. You can execute some of card magic’s most powerful tricks, such as “Be Honest, What Is It?” or color separations, without disrupting the card order, allowing you to locate any named card with remarkable speed and accuracy. You’re always just a cut away from a grand finale that will leave your audience in awe.

The Particle Stack is more accessible than most memorized decks, making it practical and easier to memorize, perfect for beginners and those transitioning from other stacks.

Memorization Made Easy

Fear not the memorization process; Joshua simplifies it with a dedicated section that breaks down each element. The arrangement is designed to appear genuinely mixed while being structured for quick memorization—twice as fast as other stacks. Once you learn one card, you automatically know its counterpart.

Additionally, The Particle System comes with a custom training tool to expedite your learning. Purchases from Vanishing Inc. include exclusive emails from Joshua, providing an overview of the stack and tips to get started before your book arrives.

Full Routines & Videos Included

To maximize your experience with The Particle System, Joshua teaches a range of impactful effects, including routines that don’t require full memorization of the stack. A visual key helps you quickly identify which routines necessitate the “Particle Stack,” whether memorization is needed, and if the stack is maintained throughout the performance.

While these routines can be performed with any memorized deck, the true value lies in how Joshua has crafted them into three complete acts, each with a compelling narrative arc. Prepare to captivate your audience with just a deck of cards.

Each book purchase includes access to exclusive professional-quality videos where Joshua showcases his favorite routines live at the Rhapsody Theater in Chicago. You’ll witness a full performance before diving into detailed explanations, including how to transition in and out of the stack and add impactful surprises to your routines.

As The Particle System evolves, your purchase grants you access to a private Facebook group where Joshua shares new ideas and insights regularly.

This project represents over a decade of dedication from Joshua Jay, and he is thrilled to finally share it with you. Get ready to transform your card magic journey with this revolutionary book.
