The series offers a playground of material to begin your journey into modern card magic. In booklet 3, \"GESTURAL,\" you learn how to divine a freely thought-of card from a fully shuffled deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"One Gestural Thought Reading\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA pack of cards is fully shuffled by an audience member. This spectator looks through a series of cards from their shuffle, and thinks of a card from the middle of the deck. They don't remove the card from the pack, and only they will know the card they are thinking of — other viewers have no clue. The performer, careful to not look at the faces of the cards, takes the pack behind their back and manoeuvres a few cards to the top of the pack, out of sight of everyone. Bringing the deck back out, the performer turns the top card of the pack, and the second card. From these cards, the magician divines the colour, suit, and — finally — even the value of the thought-of card. The spectator confirms it is so. To finish, the deck is spread face up on the table and one card is turned face down in the middle of the deck. It is the thought-of card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—————\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTARTING FIRES is a series of beginner card tricks, one per booklet, that are deeply fooling, fun and easy to perform and learn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"My friends and I have created this series of individual tricks with the intent of sharing a hopeful, modern view of magic—how it can be, look \u0026amp; feel.
