Unveiling 'SMOKERS': Steve Beam's Latest Masterpiece
Step into the future of card magic with 'SMOKERS', the highly anticipated new digital volume from acclaimed author Steve Beam. Following the immense success of his 'Semi-Automatic Card Tricks' series, Beam returns with an entirely fresh, deep dive into one of card magic's most overlooked yet powerful concepts: the 14/15 Principle. This isn't just another book of tricks; it's a meticulously crafted 'textbook' and 'roadmap' designed to revolutionize your approach to card manipulation.
Mastering the 14/15 Principle
Within the pages of 'SMOKERS', you'll embark on an exhaustive journey through the 14/15 Principle. Beam expertly explains its fundamental mechanics, delves into its rich historical context, and meticulously chronicles its major milestones in card magic. But 'SMOKERS' doesn't dwell solely on the past. It propels you forward, exploring groundbreaking new effects, subtle nuances, innovative tangents, and powerful stack applications that push the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. This comprehensive guide ensures you're not just learning a principle, but understanding its full potential.
Immediate Impact: Rapid Stack Setup & Exploitation
One of the most astonishing revelations within 'SMOKERS' is the ability to achieve a working stack for the 14/15 Principle with incredible speed and stealth. Imagine moving from a new-deck order to a perfectly set stack in just 5 to 15 seconds – all performed openly, right before your audience's eyes. This unparalleled efficiency eliminates the need for lengthy, pre-show setups, integrating the stack into your performance seamlessly. As Beam himself notes, a powerful principle or stack is only as good as the effects it enables. 'SMOKERS' provides you with a rich arsenal of creative, audience-engaging effects designed to fully exploit this principle, transforming theoretical knowledge into breathtaking magical presentations. This digital download is your ultimate, one-stop reference for elevating your card magic.
Original Specs
This brand new volume from Steve Beam is the first since he completed the popular Semi-Automatic Card Tricks series.
The 184-page hardcover is all about the often overlooked 14/15 Principle. It explains the principle, explores the history, and details the major milestones in the use of the principle. It then moves from the past to focus on the future with new effects, subtleties, tangents, and stacks. This is not just a magic book. It's a textbook on a powerful principle and a roadmap showing you where and how to use it. It pushes the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. This is the one-stop reference book on the principle but it's also a fun read. And, a principle or a stack, without good effects to exploit it, is like having great ingredients but no recipe.
And while the 14/15 Principle typically uses a stack, you can get there in 5 to 15 seconds from new-deck order, all in front of the audience. If that doesn't make your dangly bits stand up and take notice, maybe you should try coin magic.
