 The wait is over ... now Simon has collected his
latest creations, showcasing his unique brand of impossible card magic in a
fifth giant book. Art Decko is a large (8 ½ x 11) hardbound volume,
full-color dust cover, black binding with silver lettering (matching Simon’s
previous four large books), containing over
325 pages ... and only $50.00. Now
available for immediate shipping (and we pay domestic postage).
“Simon Aronson is one of my favorite
thinkers in magic, and his legendary reputation is entirely deserved. Simon is an “engineer” of miracles,
crafting each effect with painstaking detail.
His standards are exacting, and he commits an extraordinary amount of
thought to every idea he publishes and performs. Simon puts this same effort into his
writing, which is why his books are so revered (and why it has taken him 13
years to finish Art Decko). Art
Decko delivers the same high quality we’re used to. I am extremely excited about this new
collection.” -- Joshua Jay
 Art Decko is Simon’s largest
book ever...with eight sections that run the gamut of card magic: • On
the Spot – impromptu effects with an ordinary, shuffled deck • Two-Faced – some of Simon’s most deceptive magic, with just one or two gaffs • Totals – an in-depth study of a
great new plot • Birthdays – a new
exploration of the birthday datebook theme; No-Stack Datebook allows anyone to perform
this incredible plot, without any need to learn a stack • Techniques – new and subtle techniques that are highly deceptive, but easy to do • Memorized Decks – effects both
stack independent and tailored to the Aronson stack • Eccentrics – a grab bag of effects
• Predictions – the most detailed,
theoretical study of predictions you’ve ever read; includes Two by Two (the
ultimate ACAAN – two freely chosen playing cards are discovered at two freely
chosen numbers).
And SO MUCH MORE...theory essays covering everything from surprise to
disillusionment; comment sections that deeply explore variations, alternative
routines, and tradeoffs for the professional to weigh. If you want to see how Simon thinks, this book will offer many
hours of thought-provoking ideas—all written in Simon’s lucid, detailed, and
thorough style.
