Description & Effect
Unleash the Power of Storytelling Through Card Magic
Step into the extraordinary world of Robert E. Neale with 'Life, Death & Other Card Tricks,' a groundbreaking digital download that redefines the art of card magic. Neale, a visionary in the magic community, invites you to move beyond simple sleight of hand and transform your performances into profound, engaging narratives. This isn't just a collection of card tricks; it's a philosophy that breathes life, humor, and drama into every routine, ensuring your audience experiences magic on a deeply personal and unforgettable level.
Beyond the Trick: Infusing Narrative and Meaning
Imagine 'Twisting the Aces' not as a display of cards flipping, but as a whimsical battle between Samurai warriors and flies. Witness cards vanishing and reappearing not through mere skill, but as a rapid journey between dream and reality. With Neale's guidance, a poker hand multiplies, disappears, and changes at the hands of W. C. Fields, and a spectator's chosen card, once vanished, grants them immortality. Each effect is imbued with a rich story, elevating the mundane to the mythical and turning simple card manipulations into captivating theatre. You'll learn to craft moments where the stakes are high—a game of life and death, an encounter with the divine, or a humorous contest—all played out with a deck of cards.

In Robert E. Neale's world, "Twisting the Aces" isn't just a demonstration of cards turning magically face up. It's a humorous contest between Samurai warriors and flies. When cards are eliminated and chosen, the result isn't just a successful prediction. It's a game of life and death. When the cards of a poker hand multiply, vanish and change, they do so not in a magician's hands, but in those of W. C. Fields. When a card vanishes and reappears, it isn't just a display of skill. It's a quick trip between dream and reality. And when a spectator's selection disappears from the deck, he isn't just surprised, he's made immortal. This, then, is the world of Robert E. Neale. It is a different world than you are used to, and it will take you and your audiences to places you've never been before — especially with a deck of cards. Over 60 presentations using normal playing cards. 414 pages in hardcover.
