This moment has been in preparation for over thirty-five years!

Several months ago, I decided it was time to finish what was by far The most important, most complex and longest project I have ever tried. This huge book in English is a new monstrous project. Although there have been other books written on the subject, there is never anything that is close, even from afar, of the size and scope of this new crazy offer. Not a kilometer and a half.

As a creator of the legendary Sight Unseen Case, the global standard for devices of this type - a case of puffing business cards which allows you to carry out miracles - I have what could easily be described as a "direct interest" about business cards.

When I presented the SUC in 1995, I knew that I had something very special in my hands. Not only did I have a tool that made it possible to do miracles, but I also had a very classy case, extremely well done and fully functional to transport my business cards. I knew what the juice could do, but I didn't do it. I want to limit my skills in business cards in magic and mentalism to juice. I wanted to know everything there was to know about these cards inside this case!

This is why I come to you today.

This new book does not concern juice. This new volume deals with what is happening inside the juice: business cards.

It is with great pleasure that I present to you ... The Compendium of Business Cards by Mark Strivings
