I am not sure of many things in this world, but one thing I am sure of is that I was d*mn lucky to meet Liam Montier. This guy is a magic machine and a super great, if annoying, person to bounce ideas off of. I say annoying because when you show him a trick. he'll instantly find three ways to improve the handling and make it monumentally better in less than five minutes (Jack Tighe, one of Liam's sessioning buddies has experienced this as well, the story of which he relates in the soon to be mentioned PDF).

But I digress. The point of this thread is to discuss Liam's new ebook THE BOOF! Yes, I, too, thought the title to be a bit high brow and pretentious but I'll forgive Liam for this minor infraction of the rules of titlery as the material in this ebook is, frankly, off the freakin' chain!

Fully embracing the maxim that you can never have too much of a good thing, Liam has given us a 65 page PDF brimming with awesome, mostly impromptu, card magic. 15 effects in all.

Now, I have seen a lot of this material in person so I can attest to its potency. But he's obviously been keeping things from me (the jerk!) because there were about three or four tricks I had never seen before that are really top notch.

Mystery card effects, assemblies, collector routines, faux cheating demonstrations, Liam leaves no cool plot unturned in this tome of cool magic.

Here are the contents:

Scatter Shot -- A multi-phased Ace production specifically designed for an opener. The
Aces literally seem to come from everywhere, right up to the mind-
blowing finish.

Favouritism -- A spectator nominates their lucky Jack to find two selected cards, but
discovers it can do much better than that! A great ‘kick back’ style
routine.

Psychic Blackjack -- Lay out four blackjack hands, and then loan the spectator a poker chip
in order to make a bet on your behalf. They have a completely free
choice, but they always pick the hand that’s best for you…

Hard to Read -- A demonstration that appears to be all about watching for a spectators
‘tell’ and reading their poker face to reveal their selection, but is really
about winning, by any means necessary!

X-Static -- A very efficient sandwich routine that boils down to literally one move
that does everything – great card magic has never been lazier!

The Big Squeeze -- A simple and off-beat variation of the Hofsinzer Lost Ace Problem,
where the Aces reveal the suit and value of a selection, before being
squeezed together to produce the card!

Equidistant Transpo -- A streamlined take on a notoriously difficult plot that sees two packets
of cards transposing, despite being buried in different sections of the
deck. And this version is (nearly) easy!

Straight and Narrow -- What happens when you tweak the timing on the classic Jazz Aces, and
then add a kicker that shows you only play it straight? BOOF happens!

Munchies -- Everyone’s favourite story style trick gets a bold but fun make over ,
and you will love performing it, even if people do question your sanity.

King King Thing Thing -- Richard Sanders ‘King Thing’ is so good, it should be repeated.
Immediately. Now it can be!

Britland Twist -- The four Jacks are removed, twist repeatedly, and then suddenly
change into four Aces. A streamlined version of a dynamite David
Britland routine.

Cheater -- A perfectly justified Black Jack transposition that has it all - visual
moments, tight handling, strong effect and big boobies.

BONUS ‘TAG TEAM’ SECTION! Jack Tighe and Liam Montier

Retarded Departure -- Take a standard plot. Make it baffling, backfire, and easier to do than
the original version. You will never go back!

Collectable -- This version of Roy Walton’s plot has more repeats than Xmas TV!
(That’s a lie - it just has one repeat).

Whispersition -- A perfect blend of Scottish cardmanship. Start with Jerry Sadowitz,
add lots of Roy Walton, and whack on some Dave Campbell at the end.

I don't know if he has any demos up of any of the tricks but hopefully he does or will do (hint, hint, Liam) so you can get a sense of some of the routines. Awesome material in here.

Does Liam reveal what happened to Psycho Bunny?

Now that's a great question that I'm sure Liam will reveal someday when he's ready.

BTW, when you order The Boof!, you get his equally awesome ebook, Cardio, for free! All for only $15.

Just ordered. Too good of a deal to pass up. How do I receive the downloads?

Me too just ordered

BTW, if you do nothing else, be sure to check out the last trick in the ebook: Whispersition, Liam and Jack's take on Roy Walton's Stage Shout. You'll never stop doing it.

Sorry cameron just put the cards down to read the Café, gotta give my hands a rest from performing this routine, awesomeness comes to mind!!!

I'm familiar with Whisperstition from Liam's Elmsley Count Project DVD set. It's excellent.

These tricks are top notch. I read trough Cardio first and it was absolutely fantastic. GREAT effects in there. I've already performed a few for friends. I haven't even started reading The Boof itself yet I've already gotten my moneys worth for the bonus booklet alone. Can't wait to get home and crack open my deck of cards and spend some time alone with my cards and my computer B)

Aaarrgghhh, I wish Liam would stop putting stuff out there, it is not good for my bank balance!

This is stupid good. Both ebooks are packed full of such hard hitting magic. I REALLY like King King Thing Thing. I feel extremely devious when performing it.

Thanks guys, pleased with all the feedback so far

I haven't stopped performing these tricks since I read the PDF. I love all of them. Really great work Liam.

Sorry chaps, forgot to mention - I do send the PDF's out manually. However, I am on the computer an unholy amount, so waiting times should be minimal.

Peace and good vibes! And thanks MagicMaddy, I hope you have great fun playing with and showing the tricks around

Liam.

Hey Liam,
you should spend less time on the computer and more time with those nice "bunnies" from the Self Working Card Tricks DVD...

How long is the chance to grab the Cardio bonus for free along with the Boof e-book?
