The Jerx – Magic for Young Lovers – The Jerx Volume 2

In November of last year I sent an email to 56 of my friends.

In it, I said there was a magic site I read regularly that was holding a contest looking for stories that recounted memorable magic performances. Ideally emotionally resonant ones. And I asked if they got the chance if they could let me know what trick I showed them that was the most memorable.

It was a bit of an odd email because I was pretending like I read some dumb magic site, when really I write some dumb magic site.

The purpose of the email was designed to elicit information for the forthcoming book.

50 of my friends responded and the list of effects that left the longest lasting impressions on them were pretty varied. Some of the effects weren’t ones I created. And some have already been described in my first book or in The JAMM. But there were a number of routines that I haven’t published anywhere yet and those routines will appear in Magic For Young Lovers, with excerpts from my friends’ responses intro’ing the effect. MFYL is in the early stages, but I’m happy with how it’s coming together.
