The Chronicles of Declan Pierce - Volume 2

The Chronicles of Declan Pierce – Through The Veil

Shadow magic is second nature to Declan Pierce, but nothing could prepare him for what lies beyond the edge of what he thought was real. When an unexpected figure from his past resurfaces with ties to a mystery steeped in magic and illusion, Declan is drawn into a conspiracy far deeper than stage tricks and street shadows.

As hidden doors open and ancient forces stir, Declan discovers that the world he knows is only a fragment of something far more dangerous. Through the Veil pushes the boundaries of reality, leading Declan into places where truth is veiled, and the cost of uncovering it may be more than he’s willing to pay. The tricks presented in this volume detail some new uses for an age-old and overlooked card gimmick that is practically invisible and easy to use.

Tricks

• Underhanded - A card is selected. It is then lost back into the deck completely out of the hands and sight of the magician. The deck is handed back to the magician, still out of sight, and the magician is still able to identify and locate the card without ever seeing the deck.

• Deja Screw - The magician creates a highly unique Deja Vue experience for his participant with a twist ending.

• Oracle in Training - The magician instructs their participant in the subtle art of intuition, helping them psychically guide themselves to the discovery of their own secretly selected card that has been lost in the deck.

• Divine Drawings - An opener billet routine in which several participants are asked to make secret drawings on the billets they have been handed. The billets are collected and shuffled by one of the participants. When the magician is finaly handed the billets, he is able to correctly identify the artist of each and every drawing.
