Subtle Secrets 2 by Thibault Ternon

Introducing Subtle Secrets 2 – The Impossible Trick

Many magicians know of Dai Vernon’s legendary “impossible trick,” but let’s be honest how many actually perform it?

In this 30-page booklet, Thibault Ternon reveals the inner workings of this remarkable method. While previous writings on the subject often limited to a few sparse pages in French literature simply advised, “you have to improvise,” Ternon offers practical, detailed guidance to truly master the concept.

You’ll discover how to turn luck into an ally, control the forces of chance, and create genuine miracles with a borrowed, unprepared deck, shuffled entirely by the spectator. When performed as intended, few effects are purer: in most cases, the magician never even touches the cards.

In the performance:
A prediction is handed to the spectator before anything begins. They freely shuffle and cut the deck as many times as they wish. When they finally stop, they turn over the top card—the very one fate has chosen. Against all odds, it perfectly matches the prediction.

This is just one of the astonishing effects possible with this bold, elegant method. Subtle Secrets 2 – The Impossible Trick gives you every tool and insight you need to perform impossibilities like this with confidence and grace.

Warning
This booklet provides food for thought and ideas for paths to take, but the real work will be applying them and daring to perform this trick. If you don't agree with the idea of having to work on an effect a minimum amount before presenting it, if you want a trick that is "ready to go," don't buy this book. If, on the other hand, your mind revels in these kinds of slightly underground methods from the "Subtle Secrets" series, then this book is for you...
