Jack Parker's 52 Memories

52 Memories honors the legacy of one of the most promising  card magic creators of our time. It is one of those rare magic books  that pass on the most fruitful creations from a lifetime of tinkering,  experimenting and performing. It is an important book that shares the  late Jack Parker's lifelong mission to create the most amazing miracles  ever decoded from a single deck of fifty-two.

Jack Parker had a knack for producing card tricks that were beyond  extraordinary. He had an uncanny ability of twisting plots in new  directions while using as few sleights as possible. His magic was  typically easy, often visual and always astounding. He received praise  from many of card magic's elite and several even heralded the first  edition as one of the most important published this decade.

As Peter Duffie predicted in his glowing review in MAGIC Magazine, 52 Memories went out of print quickly. This retrospective edition offers expanded  text, more gorgeous two-color illustrations by Tony Dunn and a brand new  layout. One reviewer said of the book,"It's so nicely done that it's  almost hard to believe someone would care this much about card tricks."  This second edition is done with even more care and attention to detail.

With fifty-two items, just under 300 large pages, you are invited into  a one-time tour of Jack Parker's life in magic. The attractive  two-colour printed pages in 52 Memories sit between thick hard backed covers, and contain all the elegance to sit alongside your most prized books on magic.
