With his impressive skill, intelligent presentation and contagious smile he is a well booked performer for business events and private parties.Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsForeword by Pit HartlingIntroductionSwitch'emAfter demonstrating an impressive hand muck the magician outs an innocent spectator as professional card cheat and coaxes him into performing an even more incredible card switch!Luminous ReadersWhen seen through the lenses of a special pair of glasses the backs of the four aces appear in a different color.

They are strong and clean, and effects the audience will talk about."- Denis Behr"One of Friedrich's talents is to identify strong, solid effects and then to put in the important work to streamline, combine, enhance and create the best version and handling. All ten effects in this book are amazing, elegant and beautiful pieces of magic."- Pit Hartling"I have witnessed Friedrich several times performing effects from this book in front of real audiences and the perfection of his effects was always breathtaking. Even the smallest details were honed over the years and the result you'll find in this book full of miracles."- Wolfgang Moser"I've had the pleasure of knowing Friedrich for over 30 years, witnessing some of these ideas, moves and routines take shape and others fooling the heck out of me. He's one of the best sleight of hand artists I know. So do yourself a favour and follow Friedrich's instructions, you will be rewarded with miracles!"- Thomas Fraps
