I got this book at MagiFest this year from Kieron. I have read through it TWICE, it’s that good! I honestly can’t believe some of the stuff he actually put in here. It is ABSOLUTLEY BRILLIANT!! In one chapter, he teaches you what you need to make your own To The Max gimmicks, that alone is worth the price of the book to me.

That's a shame, too bad he didn't teach how to make Element gimmicks instead. But I'm guessing Ellusionist "thinks" they own the rights now.

The book is Volume 1 in a series, and I really can’t wait to see what he puts in the other Volumes. This one is 91 pages long, and it has pictures in there for you to follow along with what you’re reading. There is also a foreword from Mark Traversoni, an introduction from Joel Dickinson & John Morton and even an intro from Kieron himself. What follows are 19 chapters, 17 of which are all great bits of methodology & concepts Kieron has devoloped over the years, as well as full blown effects. You could easily combine everything in this book in to one solid act and fry every mind in the room.

I can’t say I have a favorite effect in the book because there is actually a tie for 2. The first one, you take a HOT CUP of coffee or tea or any other beverage, your soectator can feel or taste the temperature of it, but under your control, you cause it to become ICE COLD! As for the kicker you actually make part of the liquid FREEZE 😵

The second is Kieron’s take on the Invisible Deck routine, but with his you have a block of Ice on display througout your act and when I say block of Ice, I mean like the size of a standard builders brick, if not bigger. But at the end of you’re act you either present it as time travel that you were able to go back in time and flip one card over before you ever started, or as the standard invisible deck prediction routine. Because of the foggyness of ice (unless you boil it) you can’t really see the deck in there, A.) depending on how thick the ice is B.) What back design is your Invisble Deck & C.) the foggyness of the ice.

Kieron’s Magic has always had a Beautiful Chaos to it and this book really shows that. He truly has a next level way of thinking and I think anyone who is familiar with Kieron’s work or just love creating IMPOSSIBLE moments will love this book too & you should definitley pick this up!

Thanks for the great review Seth we are so pleased you like the book.

This is the first in a series of books from Kieron and this volume is limited to 500 all signed and numbered.

Kieron and myself were at Magifest last weekend and were overwhelmed by the reaction to his show and his magic lecture.

Look on social media for the picture of Joshua Jay in a pink umbrella wearing a blue poncho and yellow rubber gloves while Kieron water sports over him into a swimming pool held by Andi Gladwin. If that does not conjure up a picture for you nothing will!

When Kieron lectured at the convention and we were literally mobbed at the end selling out of books and most of the items we took with us.

So back to the book, it is limited edition 500 copies and all are numbered and signed.

It contains a wide range of magic and some innovative thinking, just what you would expect from Kieron.

The book will be on pre sale on Monday and will ship on February 15th, the cost will be $55.

Half of the books have already been sold before we have even listed it on our website for sale which is amazing.

Kieron will be doing a Facebook Live to talk about the book and will be on here before then to tell you where and when to tune in.

Thanks Kieron,

With only 500 copies available I'm worried that I may miss out especially as there's only 250 left and your taking a batch to blackpool.
