Dancing with the Cards
Award-winning columnist Michael Breggar is back with his signature quirky, yet amazing and professional almost-self-working effects. This time, it's all cards. As always, it's not just the tricks you learn, but the subtleties, tips and nuances to make your magic easy, astonishing and engaging!
Jon Racherbaumer - Michael provides recognizable forms for the simplicity and cleverness of the methods to secretly nourish the engaging and amusing themes he has chosen to anecdotally share-notas tricks per se but as congenial curiosities...which is a difference that truly makes a difference!
Liam Montier - Michael Breggar's continuing contribution to magic is a revelation - commercial plots, devious methods and, most valuable, quirky and engaging presentations! Dancing With the Cards is a must read for card lovers everywhere!
Scott Wells - Michael has given us a real gift with Dancing with the Cards in so many ways. First of all, the tricks themselves are non-heavy, slightly speaking, and easily within the grasp of the beginner. But the presentations (as always) are what separates the magus from the archmagi and the pedestrian from the prestidigitator. Michael gives us entertaining, multi-faceted presentations that will endear and enchant any audience. Moreover, his writing style keeps you entertained as you learn. But the subtleties thrown in the mix should not be overlooked as they are what professionals are made of (if you don't mind me ending a sentence with a preposition). A delightful book of (mostly) card tricks and I guarantee you will find something to put into your performing repertoire, even if it is a suggested move or subtlety. Highly recommended.
The footsteps within...
The Third Attribute. A thought-of card effect that seems like real mind-reading. Did I mention you need not touch the cards?
That Flippin' Contest. A nice follow-up to The Third Attribute effect. A version of the classic "Sloppy Triumph" effect adds an element of relaxed comedy.
The Pasteboard Tango. A shuffled deck is cut in half, and the helper keeps either half. He randomly sets aside 5 or 6 cards in time to the playing music. You do the same. The random cards match!
52! This number represents the number of ways a full deck of 52 cards can be organized (more ways than the number of stars in the known universe). The spectator then makes several decisions based upon cards selected which ultimately leads her to a final selection. Despite the enormity of the odds, you have predicted this selection.
The (Un)Usual Suspects. "Card calling" routines are numerous and while the method described here isas old as the hills, this effect, where you name the cards selected by five volunteers, is as fresh as tomorrows' news.
Occupation Hazard. A bit of black comedy in this routine that uses not playing cards, but cards on which you've written names of occupations that nobody ever wants. The routine is framed as an employment aptitude test, and your assistant somehow manages to select the job that doesn't involve anything grisly!!
Face Your Fears. Steinmeyer meets Freud. Your spectator looks through 25 cards which list common phobias. They find the thing that frightens them the most. After a complete shuffle of fears, they spell out the name of two phobias (which may or may not be theirs) -- but in the end, they wind up with the one card that correctly names their phobia. All the phobias are different and spell with different numbers of letters. Psychologically astounding (and assuredly upsetting!!)
The Wry Detector. This is my take on the classic "lie detector" routine. A card is selected, and your volunteer can choose to lie or tell the truth about the three attributes of the selection. You have a little gadget though that not only helps you correctly identify the "real" selection but causes the "lied about "card to turn over in an unused deck!
Unmarked Cards. One of my favorite openers. A spectator draws any card thought of on a blank card. Suddenly the blank deck from which the card was originally taken becomes fully printed and the spectator's hand-drawn card lays between card with the same suit and same value.
My Favorite Things. You show a selection of coins, and your helper examines then selects one. Similarly, she selects a playing card and signs its face. Why is the coin your "favorite"? When turned over, it now bears a mini version of the selected card ... along with the spectator's signature!
My Birthday Card. A self-working take on the classic "diary effect" made much more personal. And funny!
Plus, a section on some great subtleties and "pro-tips," and several of Mike's favorite non-move moves!

Can romance win?
Format: Kindle
The title is apt regarding the characters in this novel. Fallon and Savannah meet at a cemetery. Fallon is obnoxious. If I had been in Savannah’s shoes, I would’ve walked away, but then there would be no story, or a very different one.
Both women have issues related to their respective families, as do many of the other characters. Everyone is flawed. While this is gritty in places, it’s also full of love – for family and friends, past and present. It turns out that they’ve had similar experiences in their lives, either currently or in the past. Smith deftly brought the two women together in scenes that highlighted their circumstances. This novel drives home the point that we never know what other people are hiding and coping with in silence, nor how similar our lives might be.

A Grumpy - Sunshine Delight
Format: Kindle
Fallon and Savannah's relationship starts off on a contentious note, giving readers a glimpse into both women's distinct personalities.

Savannah’s daughter is a standout, character, offering youthful optimism that helps break down Fallon’s walls even further.
Imperfectly Perfect takes readers on an emotional journey through trauma, grief, and loss, ultimately leading to hope, optimism, and joy. It's a story about trust, honesty, and embracing vulnerability to let your soulmate in. Get your copy today!

Aww! Lesbian Hallmark movie in a book
Format: Kindle
Yes, its a lesbian hallmark movie in a book. And, yes, being that it's a "sweet" romance, there's no love-making. Sad. Normally I would forego the sweet romances but when these two authors come together it's always a good book. So I gave it a go. I have to say that I really didn't miss the love-making; it was really that good of a story. I'm surprised to say that. The characters were great but Grinchy Celeste holds a special place in my heart. And the way she and Natalie bicker I got the biggest kick out of. Truly enjoyed the book. Keep 'em coming TB and Miranda!
