Sessions With Simon-Simon

Simon Aronson has been a leading innovator in card magic for over 25 years. As a close associate of Ed Marlo, Simon has forged new paths by merging his deep understanding of mentalism with card magic to create stunning illusions that are accessible to all. His unique approach combines subtleties, stacks, sleights, and clever thinking to deliver clean, seemingly impossible magic that leaves audiences in awe, often exclaiming, “But you didn’t do anything!”

Filmed in June 2005, this three-DVD series from L&L Publishing showcases Simon’s favorite effects performed in front of a live audience. The performances are engaging and entertaining, while the explanations are thorough and insightful, reflecting Simon’s creative thought process. It’s like having a personal session with Simon, where you can dive into his innovative techniques.
