GAGNON UNFILTERED
It is Out and Available for Immediate Shipment. It is Tom's largest and best hardbound book: 450 over-sized pages packed with the widest variety of close-up magic Tom Gagnon has ever released. For most, all you need to know is send $89.95 to Tom at thomas_gagnon_381@comcast.net and the monster magic release of 2020 will arrive at your door. Tom is happy to pay the postage in the 48 states and sorry, accepts no foreign orders. This book is massive: shipping weight is a whopping 4 lbs., 13.4 ounces. It is beautifully produced on glossy, coated paper. Had it been printed on high-bulk paper, it probably wouldn't have fit through my front door. There is a foreword by David Malek: remarkable for absolutely no particular reason at all. Tom's procedure is simple. He locks himself in Kokomo Castle, surrounded by a moat and a large frog. When white smoke billows out from the top of Kokomo Castle, Tom has a winner. A little over 43,000 hours later, Tom has a book. That's what happened here. If Tom doesn't actually perform it, if Tom doesn't think it advances the Art: he won't write it up. There is more fresh, innovative material in GAGNON UNFILTERED than you are likely to find in a dozen typical close-up magic books. This is Tom's best and most momentously massive work. GAGNON UNFILTERED has the widest variety of fresh, high quality material of everything he has released to date. It is also the best-written, best-edited, and best-illustrated of all the Tom Gagnon releases. This will serve as a standard reference work for magic enthusiasts for many, many decades to come. There really is not just something for everyone, there is a LOT for everyone. From full-blown routines, the innovative Cased Card Control Systems, coins, pool-hall routines, unseen and unsuspected switches and passes: there is new, fresh, and just plain terrific material you won't want to ever be without. Now, you don't have to: $89.95 to Tom at thomas_gagnon_381@comcast.net via PayPal and it is yours, while they last. You can also check http://tomgagnonmagic.com/gagnon-unfiltered-2019/ and order by snail mail if you wish. You will be delighted with the generous content of this book, you'll love working through all the magic, and your audiences will love being to experience it even more. Congratulations to Tom Gagnon on a job, a true labor of love, that is spectacularly well done. GAGNON UNFILTERED is, at long last, the momentously massive yet singularly stupendous Gagnon, bursting with delightful guile, collusion, and subterfuge. |

Gagnon Unfiltered is by far my finest book. I am particularly fond of the chapter describing some of my favorite routines that take place on a pool table. I spent thousands of hours illustrating the book to assure that the reader could easily comprehend the material. It's an investment that will keep you entertained for years to come.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to order from Europe?

One thing is certain. Anything Tom Gagnon puts out will be of the highest caliber. From the Table of Contents posted by Randy, this book looks to be loaded with quality material.

Murphy's Magic will be selling copies of Gagnon Unfiltered to various magic shops throughout the world. Your best bet is to contact your local dealer to see whether they will be handling the book.

I had the great privilege of meeting Mr. Gagnon at the Genii Convention 2019. I was amazed at his card techniques. Looking forward to picking up this book soon I hope.

A "Priority Mail International® Medium Flat Rate Box (USPS-Produced Box: 13-5/8" x 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" or 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", 6 - 10 days delivery to most of Europe, costs $71.75 U.S. dollars. Not many people want to pay that, I certainly understand that, but that is exactly what it would cost me (or anyone) to ship you a copy of GAGNON UNFILTERED Priority Mail International. For the consumer, you're better off getting it from a local dealer that orders quantities of items from Murphy's, so the incoming freight cost is spread out over many books and other items. |

Crazy shipping rates! I'll try local shops. Thank you for the Info.

Looks like a great book. I was first introduced to Tom Gagnon’s magic through Barry Govan’s Blueprint magazine many moons ago. Always great magic.
