Captain Dumontier presents to you, in collaboration with the 3 Monkeys, his new book “Les Miscellanées”.
Thunder of Brest, but what is this gibberish? Miscellanies are simply a varied collection of texts.
I can hear you chattering from here about the content of the book, so I'll tell you more: you'll find tricks, techniques, theories, anecdotes, and even puzzles... In short, lots of nice surprises to sink your teeth into (whether it's gold or not, mouhaha).
Captain Dumontier has sorted through his notes and gathered together, for you, unpublished writings that he has carefully preserved for years. The buccaneer that you are will never be the same again once you have read this book. Indeed, you will never read a book again without doing little creative exercises, you will never use the Tilt in the same way again, you will no longer change your clothes at the pivot as before and you will even have advice on how to pick up the most beautiful maidens at the tavern. The book itself has been the subject of very special attention: we had a beautiful imitation leather cover made and bound by hand! Enough to show off on your galleon and make every freshwater sailor you meet jealous.
For those who don't know the captain, here's a preview! Meven Dumontier is a passionate card reader who has immense creativity and the technical skills of the greatest. He surrounded himself with and inspired himself by the greats of card magic such as Bébel, Carlos Vaquera and Bernard Bilis. Each routine or technique explanation is described with great details and magical bibliographical references.
