The Paradigm Shift Volume One features groundbreaking essays; beautiful, deceptive sleights; and commercial, devious routines you will enjoy performing.

The essays include an examination of how the two systems of the brain work and how to manipulate them to your advantage. This essay will change the way you interact with your spectators. There is also an important essay on the principle of Action, Chaos, and Repose, with examples of how to apply this information to the sleights you already know. 

Among the sleights taught are: a remarkably deceptive handling of the Cross-cut force, new work on the lift shuffle, a thorough lesson on obtaining and using breaks, and two new moves you’ll have to see to believe.

The routines include 1002^nd Aces in Transit (a master class in seamless construction), Brain Scam (a hilarious and almost self-working version of David Williamson’s Brain Scan), diabolical versions of Simon Aronson’s Not a Chance (with a new handling of the Bedwell control that fooled Steve Bedwell), and six great routines from Canadian evil genius Bob Farmer.

The Paradigm Shift Volume One contains material geared to the low-intermediate to intermediate magician. The emphasis is on card magic.
