The Very Best Of Simon Aronson (French)

Book in French

The effects of the author give the impression that a real magic is at work ; As they seem impossible, not only for laymen, but also for many magicians! Mostly free from secret or visible manipulations, surreptitous movements, all these techniques which usually signal to the spectators that they are looking at a magic lap, the simon towers are getting closer so close to magic that it is possible to do so.

A selection of the best cards of Simon Aronson, chosen, translated into French and presented by Richard Vollmer.

The author refines his routines and explores the smallest ramifications so that he is, so to speak, impossible to improve them in one way or another. It results from this perfectionist approach a level of magic quality rarely reached, to such an extent that one is almost tempted to say that Simon's effects are sometimes assimilable to real magic!

If we had to characterize the towers you will find in this anthology, we could identify two essential qualities: first, They are totally incomprehensible, not only for laymen – which, all in all, is the least of things! -, but also for almost all cartomans ; Second, they all make sense, thanks to a presentation studied, and will thus captivate all the spectators, even the most jaded.

What is fascinating in Simon is that, beyond the effects proper, We are just as amazed by the incredible subtlety and the supreme refinement of the principles on which they rest! The incredible methods invented by Simon are doubly extraordinary: first, one wonders (often in vain, by the way!) How they work, and then, we remain speechless in front of the mystery of their conception! In other words, you will find in this Very Best Towers who will mystify you for a long time – any magician that you are! – Before mystifying your spectators.

Simon's devilish methods are not displayed, they work for you in silence, underground, without manifesting themselves other than the mind -blowing effects they produce, supported by both attractive and entertaining presentations that contribute to their cover. Moreover, this third dimension of magic – the presentation – transforms the towers, as subtle and refined as they are in terms of the Modus Operandi, in as many extremely commercial effects as they say. You understood: Simon's magic is not a magic of you have me, the kind of the one we do quickly: it implies the attention and intelligence of spectators, and more They will be attentive and perceptive, the more they will be amazed, because they will not be able to rely on your gestures to try to unravel the mystery, since you do not do anything!

A professional magic within the reach of amateurs.

It is not that Simon Aronson is opposed in principle to the manipulation in itself, but he thinks that the less there are and the better in terms of efficiency and impact on the public. Based on this primary truth, he therefore replaced almost all of the maneuvers, secret or not, with tips, subtleties, invisible principles that will do all the work for you.

Thanks to these methods of devilish ingenuity, obviously unknown to laymen but also of the vast majority of magicians, your spectators will be unable to find, if only an outline of explanation of the effects you will present to them!

The almost total absence of cartomagic techniques leaves no taking to their analytical skills, and each round will remain an unfathomable enigma for them.

The apparently impossible effects seem to occur naturally, without suspicious gestures or visible artifices, without diversion of attention. On the contrary, the more your spectators will be attentive, the more they will be mystified by what they will see!

This natural approach to his art, places the author of this book among the aristocrats of cartomagie.
If you have not been amazed by a card tour for a long time, you will be by the genius of Simon Aronson, whose new ideas and principles, as well as their applications, will surprise you before my own audience.
