Coming This Week

Those who have signed up for the 2020 support package know that the next book, HTBB, coming out in January 2021 (it’s sold out), is a book that’s going to collect and expand on all the supplementary presentational ideas I’ve written about on this site. Things that aren’t necessarily trick-specific, but concepts you can apply to many different tricks in order to increase the impact they have on spectators.

As I wrote in the email to supporters:

“Some of the most common feedback I get is from people who have implemented what feels like a small presentational idea and have found it to have a significant impact on the strength of the trick. That has been my experience as well, and to have a book of these types of ideas in one place is the sort of thing I wish I would have had earlier on.”

Through some recent testing, I think I’ve come to understand why these types of techniques can have such an inordinate impact on the tricks we do. It’s something I had sort of intuited for the past few years, but didn’t have my head fully wrapped around. The story starts out with testing a couple different ace assemblies, but the insight that provided may affect how you practice and perform every trick you do. Come back tomorrow for the start of that series of posts.
