Studio52 presents The Shift Vol 2 by Ben Earl – Advanced Card Magic and Insightful Theory (Book)
Studio52 has raised the bar with The Shift Vol 2 by Ben Earl, continuing the groundbreaking series with even more content, deeper insights, and a sharper focus on in-the-hands magic. This volume expands on the material from #1, offering three stunning close-up effects, practical takes on classic techniques, and three thought-provoking theoretical essays to supercharge your understanding and ability in magic.
Effects:
- Stepping Stones: A baffling three-phased sequence involving 'thought of' cards, designed to make it seem like you can predict someone’s thoughts and effortlessly manipulate their perceptions.
- Slow Roll: A truly impossible card location where the spectator freely shuffles, selects, returns, and reshuffles the deck, yet the performer locates the card in any way they wish.
- M-Theory: A surreal handling of the Ambitious Card in which a selection and signature repeatedly appear and disappear at different moments in time, leaving the spectator with an ‘impossible object’ as a keepsake.
Techniques:
- The Erdnase Top Palm: New insights and advice on perfecting the best top palm in the world.
- The Riffle Force: A subtle refinement of the classic riffle force that you’ll start using immediately.
- A False Swing Cut: An in-the-hands false cut with a natural look, perfected by Ben Earl and impossible to detect.
Theory:
- Breaking The Frame: A deep dive into how small alterations in technique can make your card magic more deceptive.
- The Art of Practice: A sequence of six unique training drills using just a rubber ball and your feet to improve your magic technique.
- Influence and Deception: An essay exploring the nature of deception in magic, providing insights previously available only within UK military/government groups.
The Shift Vol 2 is not just a magic book; it’s a resource designed to enhance both your practical magic and your understanding of the art. Produced in collaboration with industry experts, the book features high-quality, full-color, hardback design that stimulates new conversations and attitudes towards magic.
