PHONETASTIC by Joe Hernandez - Book

52 Magic Tricks You Can Do Over Any Phone

Phonetastic is a collection of fifty-two magic tricks you can perform over any phone. With the cell phone as the number one means of instant communication, performing magic over the phone is an excellent avenue for magician, especially since it is so easy to entertain more than one person by turning on the speaker on the phone or performing virtually. In an instant, you can have an audience.

Imagine having a card secretly selected, placed back in the deck, then shuffled, and you reveal the chosen card. You can also have a pair of imaginary dice rolled and be able to tell the chosen number. There is even a gambling routine where the spectator deals himself the winning hand without realizing it. Included is a revised bonus trick from the legendary John Scarne
br>Included is the introduction to the JDH Principle, a new magic method that is being revealed for the first time. Keep this book handy whenever you need to call a friend, family member, business client, or sell yourself on getting hired for your next gig. You will quickly develop a reputation for being a genuinely great magician.

"Over a few weeks, Joe called me and performed several of his phone routines. They were so devious and entertaining that I was mystified each time. It will be great to have some of these effects in my arsenal."

"Phonetastic can do a lot more for your total magic persona than simply give you a couple of new tricks... Phonetastic is exceptional... The more I read the book, the more excited I became. Hernandez has devised a way to help the performer make the audience interaction more effortless and entertaining. The solution is something that I have never seen in another magic book."
- Highly recommended, Rolando Santos (Reviewer, Linking Ring)

"Joe has taken routines that previously required you to be in the room or use complex setups and reworked them with some incredible principles...It contains some very valuable tools, not the least of which is the revolutionary JDH Principle. This is the method he uses in place of stacked cards to achieve many of the effects...it is a brilliant idea...a wonderfully complete book."
