Description

This is a thirty-plus page book on Pop’s unique and powerful version of the Chicago Opener, or Red Hot Mama card trick. This is the version used by many of the top close-up workers–power hitters such as Bob Sheets. Including the full routine and patter, this booklet goes into great depth on the psychology of magic, and theory of magic. It is intended only for the intermediate or advanced card handler. It also includes Pop’s Patter for Brainwave. This routine is one of the most powerful opening effects in close-up magic.

“The Chicago Surprise meets all my criteria for what a superior magic product should be: 1) an audience-tested, professional-caliber routine, 2) well written, 3) both handling and theoretical information (in other words, the how and the why) are included. Many professionals use Whit’s routine. I’m sure you’re going to want to as well.” Michael Close, MAGIC Magazine

“This entire manuscript is a marvelous piece of work, and if it does not cause you much thought about magic, then something is terribly wrong.” Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii Magazine
