Juan Tamariz is considered by many to be the greatest magician living in the world. Tamariz is not only a superstar for the Spanish public, but also one of the greatest global experts in matters of theory and methodology of magic, as well as a prolific author. The legend itself is now aimed at you.

After fifty years of shows and travel, Tamariz now sits down to write letters to you, his dear friend, emphasizing the magic of Close-up as well as on new stories. Rather than approaching these effects in the style of a traditional magic book, Juan presents them in the context of a letter, written only to his closest magician friends.

These are letters of love and magic. Not only will you learn the methods of several cards that have never been published before, but you will also get Juan's notes and advice for presentations, as well as variations and the history of the plot.
