Discoveries and Deceptions by John Guastaferro

Following the success of his acclaimed book, One Degree, which earned the title of The Magic Cafe’s book of the year, John Guastaferro returns with a fresh lecture book. Spanning 60 pages, this collection features an exciting array of close-up magic, including nine card tricks that can be performed anytime, anywhere, using a borrowed deck. Additionally, it includes two non-card effects utilizing a borrowed iPhone and straw. John also provides valuable insights on discovery to enhance your magical thinking.

“When you keep increasing, degree by degree, you move from solid to molten to incandescent. What we’ve got here are classic elements Guasta-fired to red-hot!”Stephen Minch

“I am a fan and thoroughly enjoy examining how John puts together his refined card magic. He obviously strives to go beyond clever and, in my opinion, his constructions hit the mark of ‘elegant’ more often than anyone else around. His latest set is no exception—a cool variety of excellent card magic. Highly recommended.”John Bannon
