This is a video of performances from a lot of the effects in BFU I guess if that looks like the kind of stuff you want to perform you could try getting the book but the learning curve is STEEP. I mean really, you've had two people already advise you against getting it so that should say something. None of those effects are going to come to you without some serious, extensive practice.

What I think is most likely going to happen is you'll get the book, read through it, try some of the sleights taught in it, say 'HOLY $#&% THIS STUFF IS HARD!' , close the book, and if you stick with magic then years down the road you may open the book up again and have some of it actually make sense.

At THAT point you'll be glad you have the book. The best way I could put it is this: Is the book worth the money? However, the more important question is are you at the level where you can get your money's worth from the book? If you are, after 9 months, you are a prodigy.

Rarely does card magic come along as strikingly original as that found in this book. When it first appeared in 1993, Ernest Earick's name was little known, and some questioned if the ground-breaking sleight-of-hand described could be done deceptively. The answer, of course, was YES, and By Forces Unseen became an underground classic.

I'd say you already have a lot of material as it is. Go out and perform it, make the most out of what you got. You already have the resourses to absolutely melt brains out but you have to dig through there and study it to figure that out. Do you think a karate master ever stops practicing how to throw a simple punch? It is not an easy book.

TBH, it is not a very practical book either. The effects, if done with the method outlined in the book, are not suitable for walk around, street magic, standing situations, as they are quite angle sensitive, and sometimes heavily dependent on the use of a table (there are some exceptions here). There is a lot of palming involved, and not your typical top palm. 20 20 cricket 2014 theme song mp3 free download. Palm to palm transfers are used as well.

There are some amazing ideas in the book, however, at only 9 months, I doubt you will be able to truly understand and appreciate just how amazing those ideas are. This is not being harsh, just truthful. There are a gazaillion other ideas and principles in card magic that you need to learn and understand first. As others have suggested, get: The Paper Engine Card Fictions One Degree etc. If you are looking for something a bit newer. But, By Forces Unseen, is maybe a bit too soon. Click to expand.+1 Like.

I will mention Aaron Fisher's book again because it is one of the few books that isn't a classic in card magic that I own. The descriptions are VERY thorough and specific, and the pictures aren't even necessary. They are a nice touch to have however. The sleights are very practical when performed right and the book is full of sleight of hand that you will actually USE in your performances. That, and it's only $25.

Or get into Erdnase and become Bill Kalush and Dan's best friends. But I still stand by The Paper Engine.
