From a Shuffled Deck in Use(FASDIU), Volume 2 by Paul Cummins - Rare Book
Sleights with style. Routines with brains. Effects with bite.
Paul Cummins returns in this lecture notes sequel to FASDIU, Volume 1 with a fresh batch of smart, streamlined magic—built to shine with nothing but a standard deck, some coins, and a sharp mind. No gimmicks, no filler—just pure, thoughtful craftsmanship.
Endorsed by top-tier thinkers like Jim Swain, Darwin Ortiz, and Mike Gallo, Cummins doesn’t just teach tricks—he teaches why they work. His material is quietly powerful, layered with intention, and engineered for performers who appreciate structure over flash and substance over spectacle.
Here’s what you’ll uncover:
- "A La Annemann" – one card, four changes, six seconds
- "Stumped!" – three cards peeked, all instantly revealed
- "A Total Triumph" – Vernon’s classic, no control required
- "Box Topper" & "Just in Case" – card-to-box routines with punch and polish
- "AACAAAN 1 & 2" – Almost Any Card at Almost Any Number—twice!
- "No Joke" – queens and jokers trade places in the spectator’s own hand
- "Trick Shell" – one coin becomes two, then three… and just keeps going (no gimmicks!)
- "O'Henry Ace Assembly" – a hidden gem refined with moves from Marlo, Swain, and Stencel
- ...plus many more!
You’ll also find impossible locations, double lifts with a twist, transpositions with impact, and triumphs that play big in the hands. It’s technical, elegant, and laser-focused on real results.
