So here it is! The review that you have all been waiting for! I recently purchased a copy of The Paper Engine by Aaron Fisher (nice work man!) and I have to say that this is probably the best buy I have ever got. So without further ado, here is The Paper Engine! The book starts out with credits, introductions, etc.

I took the time to read them and learned a lot about Aaron before the was big. Please Note: Not every effect is included in this review because of a) there are wayyyy too many to include and b) i only included my favorites The Ideas/ Effect: (Each idea/effect has thoughts and commentaries included that have Aaron's thoughts and some variations). The Gravity Half Pass. This is probably the most amazing part of the book. The Gravity Half Pass is Aaron's handling of the half pass, and boy is it good. Virtually angle proof, it is accomplished in the simple motion of raising the deck from dealer's grip to the fingertips.

It is an amazing move, and is the backbone for most of the tricks in this book. I can't go into much detail without fear of exposure, but I have to say that this move is (almost) worth the price of the book alone! Difficulty- Intermediate-Advanced A Simple Sandwich. This is a trick based off of the GHP (Gravity Half Pass). The basic effect is as follows: A card is chosen and lost in the deck. One red King is placed on top of the deck, the other on the bottom.

The lower King vanishes. When the cards are next spread on the table, the two Kings are now on top, sandwiching the selection. This is a great 'quick' trick, but requires you to have mastered the GHP (as do most tricks in the book). Difficulty- Intermediate A Half Pass Variation.

Title pretty much says all. Just a variation on the GHP. Difficulty- Intermediate-Advanced Revolver. Basically what happens is the spectator names a card in the deck and it turns face-up. This trick does not have an 'effect' portion that explains what the spectator sees, so until I actually learn this effect, I can't give a great discription. Difficulty- Intermediate-Advanced The One-Handed Popover. Taught in The Trilogy, this sleight allows you to suddenly make a selected card outjog itself in a face-down deck face-up.

It's a great sleight to learn, and can be used by itself as a quick trick. Difficult- Intermediate Hello Goodbye. Much like Subway from the Trilogy, a chosen card is pushed in one half of the deck in the left hand and appears outjogged in the half in the right hand. Uses the OHP (One Handed Popover). Difficulty- Simple if you know the OHP Pinch Me, I Think I'm Falling.

Another effect based off of the OHP, you pull a selected card from a dribble. Difficulty- (see Hello Goodbye) The Nowhere Pass+Additional Handlings+The Advanced Nowhere Pass. Aaron's Handling of the bluff pass.

Drivers Ed Southampton Ny. Difficulty- Not easy but not hard. Bluff Replacement Subtlety. Just a little subtlety for the Nowhere Pass that makes it more convincing. The Illusion Control. A control that allows you to control the selection to where ever you want in the deck while the spectator thinks it is lost (basically any other control). Difficulty- Simple The Outjog Herman Pass+The Academic Outjog Herman Pass.

The Herman Pass with an outjogged card. The Undercover Switch+The Forced Undercover Switch A method for switching outjogged cards as they are stripped from the pack. Takes a while to get the handling down, but it is something that can be added to any routine to make it better. One version is forced, one isn't. Difficulty- Intermediate The Useful Switch.
