Patrick G. Redford – Applesauce

If you appreciate powerful card magic, such as “Any Card at Any Number” or “51 Faces North,” then “Applesauce” is a must-read. This book reveals Patrick Redford’s sought-after method for his signature effect, along with twelve additional routines encompassing Mind Reading, “The Evolution of a Rain King,” “Storm,” “Advantageous,” “Wipe-out,” “Stop Poker Tells,” “Stop Revelation for Platform,” “Card Counter,” “The O.P. Spread,” “Standing Prediction,” and “Fishing for One.” It also introduces new techniques, including Redford’s innovative Double MC Kraser Force. This hardcover edition spans 156 pages of invaluable content.

Every routine in this book is practical and has been tested in front of live audiences, both magicians and laypeople. Due to its exceptional value, it has been suggested that this book be priced at $150.00 for the hardcover edition, primarily for the secret behind the “Applesauce” effect. Howard Hamburg has praised this effect as one of the most impressive he has ever witnessed, which speaks volumes!

Reviews

Some of the most astounding effects I have ever seen performed.—Howard Hamburg

Grab a deck of cards, pull up a chair, and enjoy the truly delightful work that awaits you.—John Carey

Another fun set of clever, useful, and subtle ideas from the fertile mind of Patrick Redford.—Paul Vigil

This will be the go-to book for this kind of effect for a long time. So many great subtleties that can be used in a huge number of ways. This is the perfect example of how devastating and clean mentalism can appear when using some of the techniques of the card magician. But the pure card magician should enter only at his or her peril—Acting Required Here!!—Jack Shalom

I’ve only made it through the first two effects “Applesauce” and “Horsefeathers.” As far as I’m concerned, those are worth the price of admission right there.—David Martin

Patrick Redford’s new book, Applesauce, is a must-have. The first two items alone, Applesauce and Horsefeathers, are worth the price of admission. Patrick has pushed the concepts of the PM Principle to new and exciting places. These routines are extraordinarily strong and deceptive.—Mike Powers
