(PART 1)<\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It has now been two months now since my first magic book was published and (some of) the reviews are in![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]From Roma with Italian magician Alain Iannone :[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;400&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]&#8221;What if you wanted to cool down in the shade of Northern Europe with a\u00a0<b>good book<\/b>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s pick is\u00a0<i>Every Card You Take<\/i>, written and self-published by Sylvain Juzan.<\/p>\n<p>This friendly and talented artist (and now also an author) from Luxembourg offers\u00a0us an<b>\u00a0interesting<\/b>\u00a0series of &#8220;cartomagic&#8221; ideas among these pages.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the day our paths around the world had crossed but when Sylvain asked me to read his materials, I must admit, I was amazed by his meticulousness and accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>15 effects are described and explained here in great details. With every effect, Sylvain provides notes and credits on the origin of ideas, techniques and contributions. You will note a pleasant correlation between Sylvain&#8217;s passions for music and magic which you could already sense from the title.<\/p>\n<p>The book is not for everyone. It is not a &#8220;beginner&#8221; book. Some of the effects require strong card knowledge , but do not let this discourage you. On the contrary, Sylvain will invite you to deepen your study and perfect your technique in order to successfully perform the various techniques.<\/p>\n<p>You can order this book directly from the author or from the best retailers around the world. I believe Flavio Desideri&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laportamagica.it\/it\/content\/every-card-you-take\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La Porta Magica<\/a>\u00a0has some in stock.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the reading and have fun practicing! &#8220;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The conclusion of Michael Close&#8217;s Product Review (July) :[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;402&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]&#8221;Sylvain&#8217;s writing style is clear, and the text is accompanied with copious full-color photographs. You will certainly be able to learn these routines.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: Card enthousiasts and those who enjoy experimenting with different interesting combinations of principles will certainly find much of value in Sylvain Juzan&#8217;s Every Card You Take.
