"Frank Garcia, The Man with the Million Dollar Hands"
The towers and techniques that you will find in this anthology - which is a revised and corrected edition of that of 1979 - were developed or refined by Frank Garcia during his life as a professional magician in contact with the most diverse and The most demanding.
In other words, here you will find feasible effects and effective techniques, tested in front of spectators in the flesh, and not the unrealizable rantings of a dreamer in need of celebrity.
The keyword of the magic of Garcia's cards is simplicity. Simplicity of the effects whose progress is clear for spectators, simplicity of the methods implemented to carry them out in the most direct way possible. Garcia's towers, always focused on the spectator, are based on ingenious methods and elementary techniques. His unique professional experience allowed him to sort through the truly commercial routines, those which relate to the public, and those who make the one who presents them above all, and which he immediately eliminates. He thus rejects everything that could complicate the clear and linear unfolding of a trick, and in particular all the emberlificotted manipulations which, even if they are well done, never go completely unnoticed in the eyes of an attentive audience. I quote it: if a turn requires four manipulations, it is probably already too complicated. If you can eliminate one, it will already be better. Replace another with a subtlety to have only two manipulations to do, and here you are with a doable turn. Add a suspicion of miseration and additional subtlety while eliminating the last manipulation, and you get a miracle! It is the application of this healthy, realistic and effective philosophy that you will find throughout this book, everything is assessed according to the effect on spectators: the less they are aware of the technique and the more impact of the tour on them will be tall.
