A Call To Palms by Wesley James
When Wesley James publishes a new book, you know you've got to have it, especially when it focuses on the single most powerful weapon in the arsenal of card magic, Palming. Whether you've always wanted to Palm cards, only Palm occasionally or are experienced and looking for exciting new applications, this volume will fill you with joy. If you're a novice, it will make developing Palming skill easier than ever. If you already Palm frequently, you'll think you've found heaven.

Dr. James has packed these 245+ pages, a masterwork on Palming, a gold mine for those experienced in card technique. It is, as its title states, "A Call to Palms." Rarely does a book offer so much sophisticated thought and analysis. This is a book you'll return to repeatedly, destined to become an invaluable reference you'll consult when seeking new techniques to sharpen your Palming skills. It's a book you'll look to when you want to explore the history of standard and not so standard Palming related techniques, and effects.

In addition to the wealth of technique these pages contain, you'll find new magic from Wesley's repertoire, plus an extensive examination of the insightful yet practical work of Rick Silberman, the most complete revelation of the creations of Carl Albright and Wesley's exceptional refinements of the innovative "Four Fly" routine of Tobias Dostal, exploiting a brand new Palming position.

This is Wesley's largest book since his highly praised 2004 classic, Enchantments, and reveals the same deeply considered detail and accurate description he always delivers. In addition, it reveals new plots and the insightful thought he gives every effect and routine. Those who have read Wesley's works know he examines card magic at an unprecedented depth. Linking Ring Magazine's reviewer called a previous book, The Complete MOJO "a Ph.D. course in magic."

No book can exhaust the subject of Palming but what A Call to Palms covers is examined at a depth no previous work has approached. Take it from Matt Field - former Editor of Magic Circular - Wesley is "One of the great minds and two of the great hands in magic," you need to own A Call to Palms.
