“As a wise friend sharing love and guidance, Juan brings you into the fold with charm and warm words: showing his heuristic voyage with deep insight into some astonishing routines and philosophy. Each letter arrives with laughs and diverse ideas for the practical wonderworker. Having a pen pal has never been so exciting!” – Paul Vigil

“Just when you think Juan has given us his all, a new project appears and it is extraordinary! Letters from Juan allows Juan to share more of his ideas with everyone he loves. A wide variety of Juan’s magic is covered in these letters. Juan’s letter on “Secrets” was a real inspiration. I won’t spoil it, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.” – Gary Plants

Juan Tamariz is celebrated as one of the greatest living magicians. Not only is he a superstar in Spain, but he is also a leading authority on magic theory and methodology, as well as a prolific writer. The legend himself now writes to YOU.

After fifty years of performing and traveling, Tamariz now sits down to pen letters to you, his dear friend, focusing on close-up magic and sharing new stories. Instead of a traditional magic book format, Juan presents these effects in the context of personal letters to his closest magical friends.

These letters are filled with love and magic. You will discover methods for several unpublished card effects, along with Juan’s notes, presentation tips, variations, and historical context.

From Juan:

“These letters unveil the secrets of the tricks and routines I have been planting in moonlit nights throughout the past fifty years, prompted by the whispers of my friends, the Muses. I have nurtured and grafted these ideas year after year, striving to enhance their appeal and presence.

These concepts and near secrets, which I’ve kept in a cabinet since childhood, are what I wish to reveal to you for the first time. I will share them along with these letters. Beyond presenting them to lay audiences, these are the tricks that have amazed even the most knowledgeable magicians, evoking the wonder of the impossible and the allure of the magical. As Maestro Ascanio aptly named it, this is “magic even for magicians,” a specialty I have cultivated with love and passion.

I hope you enjoy them and share the joy with others!”

-Juan Tamariz
