Max was kind enough to share an early version of his new book, "The Paradiddle Principle" with me recently. Max has stumbled on a really interesting new idea here. Here's how the book describes the principle:
"A revolutionary card technique allowing for a multitude of presentational possibilities limited only by your imagination also incorporating a left-right hand pattern but with 52 variations" Sounds complex, but this is a really cool concept. Here's a basic description of a main effect: Your spec selects a card (free choice) and the card is returned to the deck. The spec deals the cards into alternating piles. A pile is eliminated. This process is repeated a few times, ultimately leaving only 1 card on the table, which is the selection. You may think, "Yeah, big deal, I can do that with the card on top of the deck". The nice thing about the Paradiddle Principle is that their card can be literally anywhere in the deck, and the spec does all the dealing, and the effect can be instantly repeated as many times as you want. Everything is done with a borrowed, shuffled deck. This really is focused on a core principal with virtually limitless applications. Max has included a number of presentations with the book, including one that you Tamariz and Aronson fans will absolutely get a kick out of. You'll also be able to come up with your own concepts as well. While this is a bit hard to describe via text, let me just say that I'm very impressed by what Max has put together here, it's really strong. He mentioned to me that the Paradiddle Principle will be part of his upcoming lectures, so if you have a chance to see it in person, definitely make sure you catch it. This is something that you can use literally minutes after reading the book. The book should be out soon. It'll be a bound manuscript, each numbered and signed by Max. I think you'll all enjoy this quite a lot. Kevin

Hi,
I might be mistaken but it seems a lot like an effect published by Pit Hartling (see the core at http://vanishingincmagic.com/). Although having good routines to come with the concept is a good idea, I think this concept as been around for a while (even before Pit Hartling released The Core). Pierre |

Kevin,
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback as well as the addition inspiration for the added bonus. I know you are going to have a blast with this. Not to mention all the other fun stuff you are working on. Luca, You are going to love and USE this! Astone, Here are the things it is not like. Pit Hartling's The Core. Although I did enjoy the presentation and the effect. It is also not like Darwin's Maximum Risk which is also a great effect but not the same thing. Thank you for pointing that out to me though. I want to make sure I am not reinventing the wheel. Everyone I have trying this out on has been completely baffled. Especially after the repeat. This has been a joy to develop and I think it will become a great worker for many people. Kind regards, Max

Max,
Is this similar to "Crime Does Not Pay" using a Wally Wilson principle found in Clever Card Tricks for the Hopelessly Clumsy, Bob Longe? Jim |

There's a lot to like here. Max has discovered a very cool system for revealing one specific card by simply having the spectator split the deck. He goes through numerous applications, but the ones Kevin mentioned (in regard to aronson and Tamariz) are the ones that seem to be the most unique and have the most depth. Again, there's a lot to like here, starting with the fact that this system is based off of a paradiddle. If you're looking for something beyond your standard force and reveal, I think you'll be fascinated with this.

By the way for anyone that is interested in a live demo of one of the effects from the Paradiddle Principle you can message me via skype "sleightofhand1971" or Ichat "sleightlyhandy" and I will be more than happy to give you a demonstration so you can see exactly what it is.
Best regards, Max

Please don't take this wrong, but why is this $50? it'd be nice to see a clip, possibly just have it on your website so as to keep most curious youtubers at bay. it definitely sounds interesting I'll have to admit!

By the description this effect appears like an old math trick.
Is there a video demo about this effect? M.P. |

Entermagic,
There is no video demo of the trick that I know of, but via Ichat, or Skype, Max can demonstrate it for you. Just the other night I was talking to Max, and we got on Skype, and he began to do the effect as prescribed above, and only one card was left on the table. The possibilities with this are endless as you can simply have someone select a card(no force) or simply name any card they desire. I ordered one, no need to see reviews. As always, Max has great customer service. Thanks Alex P.S. Max, I just thought of 2 alternative versions for this that can play big in the telepathy field, lets talk later, or PM Me.
PRESET by Alex Alejandro & Dan Harlan now available for a special introductory price!

The effect sounds good,
I say only that without a video demo it appears like an old math trick. Maybe I make a mistake, then I wait for a review. M.P |

Why would one spend $50 on this when they can spend $10 on The Core? if I'm not mistaken, the effect is the same, but method different? I'm just trying to justify spending an extra $40 on this. thanks for your help!

Mandarin,
If you ordered one it should be there by now. Lunatik, There is no video clip because I was offering to live demo's for anyone that was interested. This can be done with a borrowed shuffled deck. Something the other effect you listed for $10 cannot do. The spectators are the ones handling the cards. There are a myriad of ways to adapt this for multiple applications. Regarding the price I don't feel I need to justify that to anyone. I am charging what I feel the material is worth. Since these are all produced by me. I am not asking anyone to buy this. It is completely your call. Entermagic, The PP is much more than a math trick. As I mentioned earlier. PM me and I will be happy to demonstrate it for you. Also, it is not just one effect but there are several different effects included with this principle. Alex, Thank you so much for the support and I hope things get better with your family situation. All the pre-orders have been shipped. Kind regards, Max
