What the pros say:
"Chris Wardle has the rare talent to design very good tricks ... His magic inventions are always practical, ingenious and slyly deceptive. The creations of Chris are based on intelligent force or a way of applying a familiar forcing principle D 'A new way. In this superb new book, Chris presents a range of his favorite forcing and shows how to use them to create intriguing effects as confusing as fun to watch " - Ian Rowland.
In 1932, Theo Annemann published a collection of 101 forcages which he had personally compiled over the years. 101 other forcing have been gathered and published a little less than two years later. In 1937, Max Holden combined these two Annemann booklets in what we call the 202 classic forcing methods today. The book is founder, covering some major forcing ideas (and others less practical). In the next decade, Annemann's book will be a centenary. Do these forcing still hold today? Certainly. However, there must be something new!
Lewis Jones published his Encyclopedia of Impromptu Card Forces In 1994 and BigblindMedia produced a fabulous video entitled The Forces Project Around 2012. The two obviously treated cards forcing, although agile magicians can easily rework these ideas to force things beyond the cards.
Even with all this, there was a need for a collection of intelligent and unusual forcages (cards or not) which can propel the effects of magic or fascinating mentalism. Enter the scene Chris Wardle. Magician, educator, writer and filling of needs!
Chris has compiled a formidable collection of unique and unusual forcing in his book Quirky Forces. And unlike the quotes that I mention above (and many others), after Chris explained the forces, he then demonstrates how the forcing is better used in an effect (or two). We cannot underestimate the importance of this. He breathes life into the forcings described and (forgive the pun) obliges the reader to think of his own application of strength and method. This only pupils the text of Chris from the ordinary to the exceptional. It becomes something that you read slowly to appreciate ideas and think simultaneously at their application!
It is an essential book for creative magicians and passionate mentalists.
For all these reasons, Quirky Forces is highly recommended.
- Michael Breggar, magic creator and regular columnist in 'The Linking Ring'.
"Chris is a treasure of inventive and commercial ideas, and this book is not different. I can always distinguish a good magic book by the number of page corners that I folded, and I can say on the heart that I have turned more corners of Quirky Forces Down than any other book. "
- PRESTON 'SPOOKY' NYMAN, Mazel Magazine publisher.
