Forged by Fire by Christoph Borer - Book and 50 similar items

Forged by Fire by Christoph Borer More than 40+ professional routines from one of the world's most innovative magicians. In his home country of Germany, Christoph Borer is a legend. He's published multiple magic books, all of which received unanimous praise from the community. Yet, outside of his bestselling trick "Get Sharky", English speaking audiences have not had much exposure to him. That all changes with Forged by Fire. Vanishing Inc. has meticulously translated Christoph's strongest routines into English, enabling a broader audience to enjoy his brilliance. Forged by Fire contains 40+ professional routines that have all been performed and refined in front of real audiences. By introducing creative twists and unique props, Christoph has masterfully made classic ideas feel brand new. This exceptional book offers something for everyone from close up to parlor and stage, mentalism, and even magical storytelling. It would be simply impossible for any magician to not walk away with at least a few new favorite routines. In one effect, words written by a participant impossibly change colors right under their noses. In another, you and a participant find each other's thought-of cards. "My Magical Friend" is a mind-blowing prediction where the audience works together to create an address that appears printed on a parcel that's been on the table the whole time. "Tear Off" is bound to be a favorite for many of you. A corner is torn off their chosen card. The deck is then spread to reveal that every card now has a missing corner. As an unexpected kicker, you then show their selected card has been magically restored. It's now the only unharmed card in the whole deck. You're also really going to love "Firebrand". Christoph's next-level creativity is on full display as he reimagines an iconic card trick into a much larger parlor piece using a book. An antique coin is wrapped in tissue and placed on an old book before being ignited into a burst of flames. It's then revealed that the coin melted through the cover, landing neatly on a page that was selected earlier. This is just a small sampling of the dozens of incredible routines you'll find in Forged by Fire. Of course, since Vanishing Inc. is the world's leading producer of magic books, the book itself is also breathtaking. This 268-page, linen hardback beauty will pop on your bookshelf. All of the routines have also been carefully translated to perfection by Maxwell Pritchard and are supplemented by 100+ illustrations. Forged by Fire is one of those books you'll find yourself returning to for inspiration for years to come. Get your copy of today!
