Illustrated book consists of 112 pages - size 16 cm x 24 paperback.

A magical love story, a fascinating poetic routine that gives Ascanio an opportunity to talk in detail of his own conception of magic: a book that represents the culmination of over forty years of study and reflection. The theory explained through practice.
The effect is unbelievable: A Jolly becomes the card designed by the viewer, two Nine blacks are transformed into two Nine red and, as a final surprise, fifteen black cards that are on the table become all red! All it presented with the emotion and poetry that make up the imprint of the great Spanish master.

several original techniques are explained (the Arnaldo mixture, the "Mema" mixture, the transformation "Power", handling "Almost without the little finger", the "time-spinning", the "1-51 cut", the drain Kaps, the double rollover "antigravity"), but not all.

An entire chapter is devoted to Psychology. This is one of the strengths of ascaniano thought, now common to all the great Spanish school. They break the building, the "actions of apparent continuity", the presentation, the "clue" strategy, actions in transit, the coverage of the moves, the physical and mental misdirection.

The book-testament of the great genius of the Spanish card magic.

The best magical text of Ascanio, illustrated by beautiful drawings by Gustavo Otero, a priceless lesson of the Master.

Arturo de Ascanio y Navaz (1929-1997) is known as the father of Spanish card magic.
He has revolutionized the psychological conception of magic by studying deeply all the details that, in the exhibition of a magician, are able to increase or decrease the power of a magical effect in the viewer's mind. It was also the creator of various techniques (the most famous is the '' opening Ascanio ") and numerous magic effects that demonstrate the validity of his theories.
Although not a professional (he was a lawyer), his deep knowledge of card magic, its theoretical and technical developments and its executive and presentation skills, have led him to be recognized and respected internationally.
In 1970 he was champion of the IMF in the world "card magic" category.

Juan Tamariz and many others consider their "Master".
