This is not just a magic book. It is also an index of magic videos where you can appreciate every routine I teach.

You will be able to perform these effects by just reading them. But if you also want to see the magic happen, at the end of each trick you will find a QR code and a link to my videos.

Using the system and routines you will learn in this book, my daughter Camila performed one of her first tricks for the great Patrick Page in the early 2000's. She was only 6 years old when Patrick looked at me and said, "she fooled me." After that unforgettable afternoon, I understood that the curly, non-curly system was unknown to the world of magic. I put it in practice immediately after I discovered it thanks to my good friend, Alejandro Maneffa, and obtained extraordinary results in the late 90's. Another great performer, the great Gaby Pareras, teaches this routine to his students as "the trick that Tango's daughter used to fool Patrick Page."

After 25 years of applause from audiences around the world, I decided to publish this book. I must also mention another great friend, Tim Trono, who encouraged me to record a video about this back in 2010, which we called "The Unmemorized deck" and was a best seller back in the times when magic traveled in DVD boxes.

"I hope the mention of these four characters of contemporary magic encourages you to learn the miracles of the curly, non-curly system, a forgotten memory."
