Simon Aronson – Bound to Please ( Instant Download )
If you decide to buy Simon Aronson’s books separately， start withBound to Please. This book is actually four books combined into one (“bound” to please， get it?). It’s all of Aronson’s early works， including A Stack to Remember， which gives you all the introductory tips and techniques to memorizing a deck， as well as some great yet simple tricks using the memorized deck stack. Most importantly， this is the only place that all the HIDDEN SECRETS Simon built into his stack are explained. There is a reason that cards 48 and 50 are what they are， and there’s a reason the Aces are at 6， 10， 18， and 22. Find out why ONLY HERE.
What’s more， you get “Shuffle-Bored，” an iconic card trick that still garners chatter and acclaim more than 25 years after it was published. This trick takes dozens of pages to explain， yet it’s completely self-working. Like much of Aronson’s material， it will fool you as you learn it!
There’s some sleight of hand， lots of self-working effects， the marketed Ad-Jacent (usually sold separately) is fully explained， and you get the best beginner guide to memorizing a deck. This book also includes “Red See Passover，” arguably the finest two-deck trick ever devised. If you like fooling magicians， this trick alone is worth the price of the book.
If you’re less interested in other tricks or beginning work on memorized deck， ， we suggest starting with Simply Simon.
