Unleash Magic with 'Factory Misprints' Ebook
Step into the brilliant mind of J.C. Wagner and Jamy Ian Swiss with 'Factory Misprints,' a legendary card magic routine inspired by Peter Kane's 'Blankety-Blank.' Now available as a comprehensive digital ebook, this release provides aspiring and seasoned magicians alike with an unparalleled opportunity to master a truly baffling and elegant piece of close-up magic. Dive deep into the nuances of a routine that has captivated audiences and baffled magicians for years, delivered directly to your digital device.
The Illusion Revealed
The core effect of 'Factory Misprints' is a marvel of visual magic: four blank cards are progressively and impossibly printed, transforming into four of a kind right before the spectator's eyes. This seemingly straightforward description barely scratches the surface of the routine's impact. Wagner's genius, enhanced by Swiss's insights, lies in its meticulously crafted handling. This ebook teaches you techniques that overcome traditional flaws often found in packet tricks, ensuring an exceptionally clean, convincing, and utterly deceptive performance every single time.
Beyond the Basic Effect
'Factory Misprints' offers far more than just the primary illusion. Within the pages of this detailed manuscript, you'll discover a wealth of advanced techniques, including various handlings for effortless cleanup and seamless resetting, preparing you for immediate repeat performances. Crucially, the ebook also details two powerful follow-up effects that elevate the routine even further. One standout is a brilliant version of the popular 'Daley's Last Trick,' uniquely performed in the spectator's own hand. This innovative approach cancels all suspicion, adding an extra layer of impossibility and engagement to your magic.
A Collaboration of Masters
The history behind 'Factory Misprints' is as intriguing as the trick itself. J.C. Wagner initially sent a prototype to Jamy Ian Swiss, sparking an unexpected collaboration. Through weeks of experimentation, Swiss developed the brilliant integration of 'Daley's Last Trick,' a handling so powerful that Wagner incorporated it into all his subsequent lectures. This ebook is the direct descendant of the thoroughly detailed and illustrated 13-page manuscript that Wagner and Swiss sold for many years, preserving their combined wisdom and expertise. Please note that while the original kit included physical props, this product is a digital download of the manuscript, providing the essential instructions and insights. However, your digital download does include access to a password-protected instructional video, ensuring you learn every detail, plus a bonus video of Jamy performing the routine live at the Magic Castle, offering invaluable real-world performance context.
Original Specs
This very magical J.C. Wagner creation was inspired by a trick called “Blankety-Blank” by the late Peter Kane, the creator of the neo-classic packet trick, “Gypsy Curse,” among many other innovative items that bear his name.
The effect of “Factory Misprints” is that four blank cards are magically and progressively “printed” as four of a kind. That prosaic description does little justice to this surprising and magical routine, which solves many of the traditional flaws of packet tricks by way of extremely clean and convincing handling. In addition, this comprehensive manuscript describes a number of handlings for cleaning up and resetting, along with two follow-up effects, including a version of the trick popularly known as Daley’s Last Trick.
When J.C. first sent Jamy a set of “Factory Misprints” many years ago, J.C. made the sets up with random assortments of faces, changing four blanks into four random cards. Purely by chance, the set Jamy received led him, upon several weeks of experimenting, to create a handling that enabled the use of the same cards to perform “The Last Trick of Dr. Jacob Daley” (from The Dai Vernon Book of Magic by Lewis Ganson). The trick is performed in the spectator’s hand, thus cancelling any suspicion of the cards. J.C. liked this enough to include in his lectures ever after, and in 2006, Jamy wrote and produced a thoroughly detailed and illustrated 13-page manuscript for J.C., which he and J.C. both sold for many years.
The kit includes all the necessary props – set of gaffed playing cards and a carrying wallet – the detailed 13-page booklet – and a passworded link to a fully detailed instructional video, along with a video of Jamy performing the routine at the Magic Castle (which can be seen here on this page).
