Welcome to the GOLD project!
GOLD is the result of long reflections on a tool much loved by magicians and mentalists: the JOL. Guillaume offers in this book no fewer than 18 routines, 4 inspirations, and 16 additional climaxes. It would be too limiting to consider the JOL only for the card in the envelope. This is where Guillaume’s genius strikes once again. He has explored many possibilities: rings, bills, condom, salt…
The 18 routines proposed in the book are solidly structured and inspiring both for the professional and the knowledgeable amateur. Aware of the practical setting, Guillaume pays particular attention to the environment of the routines: pocket management, reset, examination phase, angles, and the rhythm of actions.
In GOLD you will find Guillaume’s routine "Zumba," a journey of the signed card multiple times into the magician’s pocket. A breathtaking finale where the deck crystallizes in the spectator’s hands. The signed card is found inside a card case, in the magician’s wallet, still in the spectator’s hands! In GOLD, there is something for every taste, from his commercial routine "The Person of Your Dreams" to his effect "Triangle," in which the entire deck ends up in the spectator’s pocket. Above all a card expert, Guillaume naturally includes many effects with a deck of cards but also routines like "Ring Pro" exploiting rings or his wonderful reflection on his concept of the "Peek Poll."
Add to this 4 inspirations and an overview of climaxes gathering no fewer than 16 new ideas: you will have choices among rings, salt, condoms, sweets, bills…
