Above The Fold
From the foreword by Daniel Garcia: "Some of the most clever, modern card thinking I have ever seen."
Published by Vanishing Inc. Magic, Above the Fold
is the debut collection from one of magic's most exciting new talents:
Rich Aviles. In this intelligent, praiseworthy collection of card and
close-up material, Aviles details thirteen effects and seven moves, each
one explained with equal parts clarity and wit.
We have had
enormous success with publishing SMALL BUT POTENT magic books-we like to
present only the strongest material of a clever magic thinker. Every
single trick is worth reading, practicing, and performing. Here are some
highlights:
- Fax Machine: A card animates, moving on its
own power, and changes into another card as it moves through the deck.
It's kind of like an ungimmicked rising card effect ex- cept... a card
doesn't rise.
- Ballerina Change: With a flourish, the top
card is extended away from the deck. A wave of the hand and it changes
into a different card. It only lasts a couple seconds, though, until it
visibly changes back to the first card without any cover.
- Pocket Protectors:
This trick is extremely rare in that it will completely fool magician
audiences and entertain non-magicians! This is the best trick
construction we've seen in a long time!
- Bystander:
Adhering to the strict rules of the International Brotherhood of Magic
People, the magician is forced to take a break from performing. In the
meantime, the deck is handed over to a spectator who unwittingly does
the impossible. The magician then discloses that he predicted the
spectator's every move.
"Above the Fold is refreshing-a
collection that demonstrates real ingenuity and a DIFFERENT approach to
card magic. I enjoyed every page and trick."Joshua Jay
"I've
known Rich and his work for years, and am so pleased he is finally
