If you’re a fan of Cardwarp or just birthday shopping for someone who is, then look no further than The Cardwarp Tour by Jeff Pierce.
Roy Walton’s Cardwarp is the seminal topological effect amongst card magicians and why shouldn’t it be? It’s quite a compelling effect that lends itself to a multitude of presentations and handlings–many of which are captured right here in Pierce’s The Cardwarp Tour. Nitpicks aside (refer to video) this book is an excellent representation of the current state of the Cardwarp plot. There are a number of excellent handlings and presentations. Even those with well established routines will find a number of things to like. My personal favorites are listed in the video so no need to rehash them here. But something I neglected to mention are a couple of essays, one of which talks about how to make your presentation more effective regardless of which handling you ultimately decide on. That particular essay struck a chord with me and I’m going to be modifying my handling appropriately. Cardwarp is an effect I’ve enjoyed performing for years but this book opens up additional presentation and handling ideas. Whether you’re a Cardwarp veteran or just stumbled across this little gem, pick up the Cardwarp Tour now and let ‘er rip! And by the way, if you’re looking for a new drinking game–take a drink anytime I use the word “presentation”. You’ll be drunk before the video is over. http://www.magicbookreport.com/2013/04/t......-pierce/

Thanks for the great review. Been wanting to pick up this book for a while and have been waiting for a used one to show up but no luck yet. The two places I found where the book can be purchased are http://www.thecardwarptour.com/ and https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic/card-magic/cardwarp-tour/. Same price and free shipping from both.

By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Thanks, Peo!
Magic-Daniel, in addition to Jeff's info above many of the specific handlings contain scripting and presentation ideas as well.

Tell you the truth, when I first heard about The Cardwarp Tour, I thought the concept was interesting but I just couldn't see myself spending the money on a book devoted to just one effect. Most magicians already know the workings of the trick, so to me it seemed like you were basically buying different presentations with minor handling differences. Why bother when I was pretty happy with the way I performed it??
But after watching the review I have more of an appreciation of it and the different presentations/handlings seem to go much further than I would have thought. Will definitely keep an eye out for this in the future. Thanks Steven for the review. |

Thank you for your comments. Most magicians think they know all there is to know about Cardwarp, but this book proves that there is always something new to learn. There's a few hidden gems in there that you might have to dig deep to find but they are ideas that will make your existing routine that much better. Jeff Pierce http://www.thecardwarptour.com

I'm reading it for the second time. This time, I'm studying it - strongly.
No matter how good you've heard it is, no matter how positive the reviews --- Jeff's book is even better. There is even history here that I didn't know. If you thought CardWarp was strong before, your presentation will be stronger. If you thought you knew CardWarp, you ain't seen nothing yet. It's even worth resurrecting an almost three year old thread. *jeep! and God Bless! (Thank you, Red!) ----Grandpa Chet

How does this book compare to the WarpOne from Jenkins that came out several years ago ? My leaning is toward getting the book over the DVD, but would be nice to hear from someone who has both that can comment ?
