He is the author of three critically acclaimed best-selling books in English: The Five Points of Magic, The Magic Way and Sonata. Along with Arturo de Ascanio, Tamariz has spearheaded a school of thought in close-up magic that has produced FISM award-winning champions and deeply influenced the craft of magic worldwide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong those things Juan Tamariz is most recognized for, among magicians, is his trailblazing work with the memorized deck-a tool with extraordinary potential for creating utterly baffling magic.

Accompanying this information are more than a hundred tricks and routines that radically expand the range of effects commonly thought possible with a memorized deck, and an annotated bibliography that leads the reader to an amazing body of additional material on the memorized deck, making Mnemonica the most complete study of its subject ever done. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMnemonica is a virtual encyclopedia on the subject of memorized-deck magic, by the world's leading exponent and one of magic's acknowledged masters.

It is a book capable of changing the reader's entire approach to card magic, and a work that supports Juan Tamariz's reputation as one of the most important and creative thinkers in magic today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePages\u003c\/i\u003e 432 - Hardbound \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"PENGUIN MAGIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49105560207609,"sku":"gmw1789799165126","price":56.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3784\/2937\/files\/mnemonica_1.jpg?v=1789799173"},{"product_id":"prism-the-color-series-of-mentalism","title":"PRISM The Color Series of Mentalism","description":"\u003ciframe class=\"mms-video-player\" width=\"380\" height=\"231\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.murphysmagic.com\/videoembed\/default.aspx?id=39754\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile a sizable literature devoted to mentalism was produced in the past hundred years, little has stood the test of time.

David had access to not only what the audience saw on stage at the Harry Willard show, but also what was happening backstage.
