Punk's Not Dead. Long Live the Magic.

The most biting insult that any performer can ever hear after a performance is "that was good."

Good? Magic shouldn't just be good. It should be mind-melting, jaw-dropping, eye-popping, and brain-soupifying. Good doesn't cut it.

So how do you upgrade your card magic from good to incredible? You ask Etienne Pradier. Before he was performing for Penn & Teller and the Royal Family, Pradier was a young magician with a punk-rock edge who needed to figure out what makes a performance unforgettable.

He came up with a list of tricks that he knew blew minds ever single time. Then, compiled them into Never Mind the Bollocks Here's Etienne Pradier.

Tricks like a CAAN using a borrowed deck, Etienne's personal coin matrix, and his absolute favorite stage rope routine.

You're also gonna find card tricks. A lot of them. You'll get a fully inspectable deck that reveals a chosen card in two different ways. A book test that also finds a card lost in the deck. A mind boggling way to produce the four aces. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This is put together in a striking book that is as much a love letter to early punk as it is to magic. But that just ties into Etienne's philosophy on performing: keep what works, remove what doesn't, and perform with personality.
