Back in 1992, many magicians were first exposed to Terry LaGerould's unique approach to card magic in a book called, "Pasteboard Presentations." This book, now out of print, is still being sought after by many magicians.
After years of magicians calling for Terry to put out a new book, he's finally done it! With more than 60 pages containing 17 card effects, detailed by more than 35 photos, you'll easily learn these routines.
For those unfamiliar with Terry LaGerould, the hallmark of his magic is efficient, innovative use of standard moves combined with highly commercial presentations. All the material in Pasteboard Presentations II comes directly from Terry's repetoire, and has been perfected over years of performing at major casinos in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Reno.
In this book, you'll find both original effects, and classics of magic taken in startling new directions! You'll find self-working effects for the novice, as well as challenging effects for advanced magicians, including:
- Unexpected - A psuedo-center deal demonstration with a four ace kicker
- Royal Victory - A selected 5 card poker hand is changed into a Royal Flush
- Ace Shuttle - The cardboard astronaut escapes from the shuttle
- Up the Down Staircase - "Triumph" done with the four Queens
- It's All in Your Mind - A mentally selected card repeatedly vanishes
- Mental Photography - The black aces "burn" (turn red), printing a selected card
- Tell-A-Pathic Gypsies - Four Queens change, and then are found by the spectator

- Instantane-E-Ace-Ly - Just as the magician gives up looking, the four aces are produced
