One Degree by John Guastaferro and Vanishing Inc.

\n

John Guastaferro, ein Magier, den man bewundern kann: er ist elegant, aber nicht aufdringlich, leise, aber in der Kontrolle. Er ist Experte für klug konstruierte Magie. Sein erstes dauerhaftes Werk - One Degree - wird von Vanishing Inc. veröffentlicht. Mit über 150 Seiten und 240 Fotos enthält dieses elegante, feine Sammelband 20 professionelle Kartenreime und fünf Essays. One Degree bietet einige der künstlerischsten, feinste nahezu enge Nahmagie-Materialien seit Langem.

One Degree untersucht kleine, vorsätzliche Verbesserungen, die Sie anwenden können, um den Eindruck Ihrer Magie zu erhöhen und stärker mit Ihrem Publikum in Verbindung zu treten. Manchmal glauben wir, dass großartige Ergebnisse nur durch massive Änderungen erreicht werden können. John Guastaferro glaubt jedoch, dass das Extraordinäre näher ist, als wir denken...nur eine Gradheit entfernt.

Mehr Lob für One Degree:

\n

\n
• "John ist zweifellos einer der besten Köpfe in der Magie unserer Zeit...ein Meister des Künstlerhandwerks."
\n
• "Es hat lange gedauert, bis ich ein Buch las, bei dem ich mit jedem Reim und jeder Hilfsmittelbewegung dachte: 'Das gehört in mein Repertoire!' One Degree ist solch ein Buch und gehört in jede Sammlung von Kartenkünstlern."
\n
• "One Degree befriedigt und erhellte bis zum letzten Grad!"
\n
• "Selten sind so viele Schöpfungen begabt, dass sie ihre Fingerspitzengefühl auf alles, was sie berühren, übertragen. John Guastaferro gehört zu dieser ausgewählten Gruppe. Es ist ein Vergnügen, seine Arbeit in einem solchen schönen Buch zusammenzufinden."
\n
• "Viele Autoren versuchen, ihre eigene Begeisterung für ihre eigenen Schöpfungen zu vermitteln, oft mit großer Vividität und Pracht. Der Risiko ist, dass die Ideen, die übertragen werden, den Aufschwung nicht erreichen. John Guastaferro hat dieses Risiko in One Degree eingegangen - und gewonnen! Selbst wenn er seine Schöpfungen unverziert und unverzierungt präsentiert hätte, hätten sie ihre eigene Propaganda und Begeisterung geliefert. Leser werden schnell erkennen, dass John, vielleicht einzigartig, seine Tricks vor allem mit seinen Zuschauern im Sinn konstruiert hat."

Originale englische Beschreibung

"I am excited about this book...This collection oozes style and substance from a true auteur."
- John Bannon, from the foreword

John Guastaferro embodies everything one admires in a magician: he is smooth but not flashy, soft-spoken yet in control. And he is an expert at crafting intelligent magic tricks. For the first time ever and exclusively with Vanishing Inc., John Guastaferro is releasing his first hardbound work - One Degree. With over 150 pages and 240 photos, this elegant, refined collection is comprised of 20 professional card routines and five essays. One Degree features some of the most artistic, refined close-up material to come around in ages.

One Degree explores the small, intentional improvements you can make to elevate the impact of your magic and help you connect more intensely with your audience. Too often we are led to believe that great results require massive changes. John Guastaferro believes that the extraordinary is closer than we think...just one degree away.

MORE PRAISE FOR ONE DEGREE:

"John is unquestionably one of the best minds in magic today...a master of the art."
- Jack Carpenter

"It has been a long time since I read a book where with every routine and every utility move, I said to myself, 'That is going into my repertoire!' One Degree is such a book and belongs in every cardician's library."
- Allan Ackerman

"One Degree satisfies and illuminates to the nth degree!"
- Jon Racherbaumer

"Few creators in our field are so gifted that they leave the patina of their ingenuity on everything they touch-John Guastaferro belongs to this select lot. To see his work brought together in a book, one as beautiful as this, is a joy."
- David Regal

"Many authors try to articulate their inherent enthusiasm for their own creations, often with considerable vividness and opulence. The risk is that the ideas being conveyed fall short of the build-up. John Guastaferro has taken that risk in One Degree-and has come up a winner! Even if he had presented his creations unvarnished and ungarnished, they would have provided their own hype and excitement. Readers will quickly recognize that John, perhaps uniquely, has constructed his tricks, first and foremost, with his spectators in mind."
