Welcome to the GOLD project!
GOLD is the result of long reflections around a tool that magicians and mentalists are very fond of: the JOL. Guillaume offers in this book, no less than 18 routines, 4 inspirations and 16 additional climaxes. It would be too reductive to consider the JOL only for the card in the envelope. This is where Guillaume's genius strikes once again. He explored many possibilities: rings, tickets, condoms, salt...
The 18 routines proposed in the book are solidly structured and inspiring for both the professional and the experienced amateur. Being aware of the terrain, Guillaume pays particular attention to the environment of the routines: pocket management, reset, the examination phase, angles and the rhythm of the actions.
In GOLD you will find Guillaume's "Zumba" routine, a journey several times of the signed card in the magician's pocket. A breathtaking finale where the deck crystallizes in the spectator's hands. The signed card ends up inside a card holder, in the magician's wallet, still in the spectator's hands! In GOLD, there is something for everyone, from his commercial routine "The Person of Your Dreams" to his "Triangle" effect in which the entire deck ends up in the spectator's pocket. Above all a card player, Guillaume of course includes many effects with a deck of cards but also routines like "Ring Pro" using rings or his wonderful reflection on his concept of "Peek Sondage".
Add to that 4 inspirations and a panorama of climaxes bringing together no less than 16 new ideas: you will have the choice between rings, salt, condoms, sweets, tickets...
