This book teaches easy and not-so-easy close-up tricks using cards, coins, and other small objects.
To maintain a consistent structure, each trick begins with a brief description and a construction matrix, identifying the Effect, Device, Preparation and Props needed.
A card is selected, signed, and returned to the deck. In a split second, the magician spreads the deck and states he has found the card. But, it is not. After three failed attempts, the wrong selections turn into the right one. It is a very simple entertaining routine that even a child can perform.
A card is touched, shown, and placed very fairly back into the middle of the deck. With a snap of the fingers, it is now on top of the deck. This control is also taught visually on the LOSING CONTROL CD-Rom.
The spectator cuts four packets trying to find the four aces. The attempt fails but the magician takes the four cards and slaps them onto the deck. Magically, they change into the four aces. This routine takes advantage of a great Edward Marlo move that is rarely used.
Two cards are thought of from the fanned deck. Under impossible conditions, the magician divines both of the thought of selections. This will fool your audience terribly. You will be pleased with how easy this is.
One of the greatest full deck separations where the spectator separates the pack with ONE shuffle. This routine uses the technique Pulp Friction and you must have the Pulp Friction booklet in order to understand it. This routine is a SILENT KILLER!! This routine is Lee's favorite of all time!!
FISM was the wildest, most incredible magic convention I have ever seen. I spent the convention watching, and getting fooled by the most incredible array of magicians Ive ever imagined. And I spent the rest of the time doing card tricks from The Paper Engine for people. I love helping people soften their card work it helps them to really affect people with their magic. - Aaron Fisher
First published in 1997, The Sleight Album remains one of the hippest manuscripts ever produced.

Not only will you see how one of today's hottest creators got his start, you'll get a window into his early thinking the seminal creations that form the basis for Fisher's worldwide reputation as one of this generation's premier sleight of hand creators.
This routine is a combination of a bunch of magicians thoughts all rolled into a 4 to 5 minute routine that can be worked anywhere. Knots jump and vanish. A classic cut and restored with the ends changing places with the center for a visual closer. Never cut the rope. The rope set you make in 2 minutes is good for 100's of performances.
It took all of an hour to learn two of the effects he teaches and went out and tried his busking method this afternoon, Monday. Just goofing around and picked up $50 in about an hour and a half on a MONDAY AFTERNOON.This is a great CD and already paid for itself. Wait until next weekend when I really try his method. At least $500 in two evenings is easy. - Peter, Paddy the Clown
