Description

Doug Edwards is known throughout the world for his straightforward approach to card magic. You will find all sorts of surprises and gems with a pack of cards, but the biggest surprise in Nukes is the non-card material included. Doug has finally released his work on magic with ropes, coins, pens, spoons, and more, giving Nukes a wonderful balance between card magic and tricks with other props. Mr. Edwards has even consented to release some unpublished material from some of the greatest minds in magic and mentalism: Roy Benson, Cardini, Dunninger and Zarrow.

You’ll learn a strange book test method Dunninger used for years, a critical detail in Roy Benson’s legendary “Benson Bowl” routine that has never been discussed publicly. Also, we’ll explore a special pack of cards employed by the great Cardini, with unpublished handlings.

You will learn Doug’s preferred opening effect, a beautiful and easy Ace-cutting procedure, and a subtlety that will take your Zarrow Shuffle to a new level of deceptiveness. Nukes is the result of years spent writing and decades spent developing the material. It is a fascinating and varied approach to magic, by one of the field’s most dedicated and enigmatic creators.
