52 Farewells by Geoff Latta [Book]

In the golden twilight of the 20th century, a whisper echoed through the underground halls of New York close-up magic. It didn’t shout. It didn’t boast. It simply said: Latta.

While titans like Derek Dingle, David Roth, and Darwin Ortiz lit the skyline with their brilliance, a quieter force moved in the shadows--refined, deliberate, devastating. That force was Geoffrey Latta, and though he stood beside giants, he walked a different path.

He didn’t seek the stage. He didn’t tour the lecture circuit. He didn't flood the market with half-baked effects. Instead, he let the work speak for itself--one gem at a time. But make no mistake: behind the modest profile was a legacy that rewired the art of card and coin magic.

Now, for the first time, the complete card work of Geoffrey Latta is gathered into one monumental volume: 52 Farewells. Every published piece. Every whispered secret. Every move that made even the hardest-hitting pros sit up and take notes.

And the crown jewel? The fabled Pink Purse Tapes--an underground video passed hand-to-hand like forbidden knowledge--is now included in commercial release for the very first time. Watch Latta at the peak of his power. No polish. No pretense. Just pure mastery.

More than a book, this is a treasure map for serious magicians. A companion to The Long Goodbye, 52 Farewells is a cornerstone--two pillars of East Coast sleight-of-hand history, finally standing side by side.
