REVIEWS FOR BOOKS AND PAUL GORDON’S MAGIC:

“Paul Gordon is a modern master of close-up magic. His extensive knowledge and ability to create visual and stunning routines is unmatched in the world. Gold Dust is wonderful.” – JEFF MCBRIDE

“I just love Paul Gordon’s Ultimate Transposition from Quidnunc. One of the best cards to pocket I have ever seen.” – ROGER CURZON

“Your Ultimate Transposition from Quidnunc was/is ahead of its time, Paul! Absolutely perfect!” – JACK CARPENTER

“Wow, Wow, Wow! Paul Gordon’s Workers Supreme from his Quidnunc book is frickin awesome! I tried it out at two gigs over the weekend and the reactions were brilliant! It’s a no palm card to wallet that would usually need a palm! Very clever and highly practical. A worker’s effect for sure.” – STEVE DELA

“I don’t normally like counting tricks, but yours are always an exception. Prediction Supreme (Gold Dust) is really fast-paced and there’s something interesting happening all the time. The payoff looks so impossible. From a spectator’s perspective, how can all those coincidences happen after all that mixing and free choices? Excellent as usual, and Worker Supreme from Quidnunc is brilliant!” – GARY JONES

“There’s no fluff in Paul Gordon’s material. It’s all been worked and honed in front of real people. I enjoy watching him work in the videos he posts almost as much as I’ve enjoyed his books and contributions to Apocalypse over the years.” – JIM SISTI

“A thorough tutorial of one of Paul’s overlooked gems, and the genuine lay reactions confirm what a good routine this really is. The Muldoon Match is super easy to do, recommended!” – PAUL HALLAS

“The Muldoon Match from Gold Dust is one of his great routines for the real world. The instruction is top-notch. It can be performed for one person or a group of three. It’s a fantastic ‘interlude piece’ that will likely become part of my working repertoire. Simple yet powerful.” – PAUL GREEN

“Paul Gordon’s The Sting from Gold Dust is a killer trick! Great.” – TOM GAGNON

“The best response we’ve ever had from a lay audience at Penguin Live was from Paul Gordon performing at the bar during his Penguin Live Lecture.” – DAN HARLAN

“I regularly use the Gordon Diary (Gold Dust) in my close-up work. It generates one of the strongest reactions to anything I perform. It hits people on a different level than other tricks. Highly recommended.” – NICK EINHORN

“Paul Gordon’s Gold Dust is enormous and beautiful. Magic taught with Paul’s thoughtful, clear, and conversational prose. Whether you are a longtime fan or new to his work, this is the pinnacle of his career. Paul has created numerous clever, strong card magic routines throughout his well-reviewed books and pamphlets, many of which are rare and out of print. Owning the very best makes this collection extremely worthwhile.” – VANISHING INC. (ANDI GLADWIN AND JOSHUA JAY)

“Your Corner of Piccadilly (Gold Dust) is wonderful. You are a great performer, my friend! Paul Gordon is an exceptional performer! His style mirrors mine when I’m performing behind the bar. His effects are direct and engaging, with his personality shining through. Enjoy what he shares in this new book, and heed his advice on selecting effects for your performances!” – J. C. WAGNER

“Corner of Piccadilly (Gold Dust) is a very strong monte routine using un-gaffed cards. Its kicker is astounding, and everything can be examined. If ever there was a ‘worker,’ this is it.” – DAVID REGAL

“It is rare to see a magician who can entertain an audience so effectively with just a deck of cards. But Paul Gordon is one of them! His shows are as humorous as they are magical. Paul knows exactly what spectators enjoy and delivers it with great humor and impressive effects.” – BORIS WILD
