The Paper Engine - (20th Anniversary Edition) by Aaron Fisher

The legendary book that inspired a generation is finally back after more than 20 years.

Offering the perfect assortment of invisible techniques, astonishing effects and transformational ideas, Aaron Fisher's The Paper Engine has been considered a seminal text for card magicians since its first release in 2002.

Beyond the techniques, The Paper Engine is a masterclass in magical philosophy. Aaron's insights into tension, focus, and design transcend mere card handling, offering a holistic approach to performance that will elevate your magic to new heights.

The Techniques section is a treasure trove of versatile sleights, from the fluid One-Handed Popover to the deceptive Illusion Control and the seamless Nowhere Pass.
