Within the 296 packed pages of Carneycopia are offered 43 items - 29 tricks, sleights and routines with cards, including two complete acts, and 14 exceptional effects with coins, bills, glasses, matches, bottles, pens and sponge balls. Between these covers, the reader will find polished material that demonstrates why John Carney is recognized by his peers and the public alike as one of today's finest and most creative magical entertainers. In his first major hardcover collection, John has selected the close-up magic of which he is proudest; magic that baffles and entertains at the same time. In addition to this large selection of carefully honed magic, Carneycopia is a graduate course in presentation and misdirection. For the first time, the full depth of John Carney's exceptional thinking is exposed and dissected for the serious student.
