Card Fictions (book) – Pit Hartling

German Champion of Magic and many accolades in magic have made Pit Hartling a household name in magic. We are happy to present this English language book. 106 pages (Hardcover), Illustrated with photographs

Seven performance pieces with an ordinary deck.

Card Fictions has become a modern classic. It’s our pick of the best magic book of the last five years and one that you really must read. The book contains these seven amazing fictions:

You sense the colors of playing cards through a solid table.

You stack four Poker hands in less than ten seconds.

You kick any named number of cards off a tabled deck.

You put chaos to order.

You magically move cards to any positions in the pack at will.

You transpose a card from between a spectator’s hands to under his watch.

You instantly memorize the order of a shuffled deck.

Card Fictions will not enable you to do any of those things. Most of them are, after all, impossible. Fortunately, however, we can make our spectators experience these impossibilities anyway. We do that by creating fictions; in this case Card Fictions.
