After the release of Repertoire, numerous magicians inquired about a potential second volume. Initially, I was hesitant, believing it would be impossible to surpass the first book, which showcased my finest work accumulated over decades. However, if I were to create a sequel, it would need to feature only robust and thoroughly tested material.

Fortunately, my ongoing dedication to crafting new routines has expanded my repertoire significantly. Some of the effects included in this book have been showcased on television, such as Anybody and Nobody, one of my most impactful card tricks. Additionally, I present Red & Black, my signature routine from my Off-Broadway show, Inner Circle. This volume also contains two in-depth chapters on my favorite techniques: the XY Deck and the card-to-box load. The XY Deck offers a superior method for stripping cards, making it easier to construct while unlocking new possibilities that the traditional stripper deck cannot provide. Once you master the deck and the strip-out mechanics, I will share some of my favorite applications for this clever tool. In the card-to-box section, I detail the subtleties that render this card load undetectable, guiding you through some of my treasured effects achievable with this deceptive technique.

My hope is that after exploring this book, some of the magic will become a part of your own repertoire.
