Discover the Insightful World of Pasteboard Perpensions

Occasionally, a remarkable and thought-provoking book emerges in the magic community, pushing the boundaries of the craft toward perfection. This is one such work, and we are thrilled to present it to you.

Pasteboard Perpensions marks the debut major publication from Wesley James, a highly regarded figure in the underground magic scene. This book is far from mere fluff or recycled content; it features over twenty-five original items that introduce innovative techniques and enhancements to card magic. Among these are six new four-as-four Elmsley-style counts, poised to transform the methods used in contemporary packet tricks and inspire fresh routines.

Wesley revitalizes classic techniques with his improvements to Marlo’s Diminishing Lift Switch (now the BRBD-DLS) and Hamman’s Gemini Move (renamed the Virgo Move), sparking renewed interest in these versatile methods. He kicks off the collection with a powerful, humorous, and commercially viable routine from his professional repertoire, titled The Impeccable Follow-Up.

For those eager to explore entirely new techniques, the Fake Reverse Reverse, Drop Cop Switch, and T-Ace-T Test will captivate your interest.

If you prefer substantial yet practical techniques, delve into the Torrales Bottom Deal and Sure Theory Second Deal. Creative minds will find Assemblies – A Categorical Perspective essential reading, serving as a springboard for countless unexplored Assembly/Disassembly effects.
