Award Winning

Description

Aaron attended a magic seminar in Vegas for his 21st birthday party, and during the evening met John Cornelius for the first time. He watched him perform a simple visual trick with a cigarette that fooled him BAD (his mind was reeling so hard he completely forgot it was his birthday for a few hours!)

That was Aaron’s first taste of the Cornelius ‘genius.’

As a FISM winner, John Cornelius is famous within magic for his remarkable routines that really are genius—and even more impressive when you discover the devious methods behind them.

But for years, magicians struggled to keep up with Cornelius and his brilliant ideas. His routines and thoughts were scattered across various old newsletters, magazines, and forgotten manuscripts.

That’s why all the CC team were delighted when Award Winning Magic—a collection of Cornelius’ best magic—was published, because we could finally discover the extent of his magical genius.

When you read Award Winning Magic, you’ll discover this genius for yourself. Cornelius doesn’t limit himself to cards, but instead covers EVERY aspect of magic—-including incredible magic with ordinary objects you’ll find everywhere. You’ll also find a whole new revolutionary card stack system that will become one of the strongest tools you have.

John’s ideas are so strong that any ONE of these tricks alone are worth the price of the book.
