Original Specs
Get this! We’ve been able to procure a few copies of the critically acclaimed and highly sought after Cardini Opus! Once these are gone we will NOT be able to reorder. This is a rare chance to own a very important book that will appreciate in value at a very special price.
This enormous book is beautiful in its appearance and its contents. Appreciate this collectable item in three ways:
1. It’s a Miracle Factory Book. They spare no expense in production values, and it looks gorgeous. All their books are small print runs, expensive, and go out of print VERY quickly. And ALL their books appreciate in value. This book will be worth 300 dollars the instant it goes out of print, and then it will increase as time goes by.
2. It’s written by John Fisher, one of our industry’s most beloved historians, authors, and speakers. We saw Fisher deliver a lecture on Cardini in celebration of the book at MAGIC Live, and it was riveting. The critics in Genii and MAGIC agree: this book is gripping, and a must-buy.
3. The magic! You get so much between two covers. In 600 pages, you get a complete biography of one of our absolute masters, Cardini. You get a description of some of his material, including a step-by-step analysis of his card act.
For a limited time and for just a few of you (copies are SCARCE), we can offer this book for 150 dollars. This is a bargain for ANY Miracle Factory book. Next year, we believe this book will go for twice the price on ebay, or more. Don’t wait to read and display this fabulous collection.
