Discover nearly 200 pages of impactful, practical card magic designed to create genuine moments of wonder for contemporary audiences.

As magicians, our role is to make spectators question their perception of reality. This can be challenging, especially when traditional magic relies on vague gestures like “waving a wand” or “snapping fingers” as explanations for the impossible.

Michael Feldman challenges long-held beliefs in the magic community. Rather than concealing his techniques, he invites audiences into a captivating experience, encouraging them to question whether magic is truly “real” or not. His performances leave spectators in awe, including the renowned duo Penn and Teller during his appearance on Fool Us.

In The Pages Are Blank, Michael presents 19 of his favorite routines, each breaking conventional magic norms. These innovative effects utilize unconventional methods that will have audiences reconsidering what’s possible. Esteemed magicians like Asi Wind, Denis Behr, Tony Chang, Garrett Thomas, Caleb Wiles, Harrison Greenbaum, Erik Tait, and Carisa Hendrix have praised these ideas.

The book is divided into two sections. The first part showcases Michael’s signature routines, perfect for when someone requests a trick. From quirky effects like “False Dichotomy”—where two individuals’ realities converge—to fresh interpretations of classics like Triumph and Card Under Glass, there’s something for every magician.

This section also introduces original techniques, including a clever two-card peek and an extraordinary deck switch that will undoubtedly captivate readers. (Watch the trailer to see it in action!)

The second section delves into Michael’s 25-year journey exploring duplicate signed cards. He reveals astonishing possibilities, from a variation of the Anniversary Waltz where both card faces are visible to an impossible transposition where a signed card switches places with one under a spectator’s finger in the fairest manner.

Every routine in this exceptional hardcover book is a proven performer, refined through thousands of live shows. The material caters to all skill levels; while some techniques may require practice, nothing is overly complex. Detailed explanations, stunning photographs, choreography, and easy-reference summaries accompany each effect.

The Pages Are Blank is not just a beautiful addition to any collection; it’s meant to be studied and appreciated. This book is poised to become a modern classic for any enthusiast of card magic.
