Paul Curry's Worlds Beyond

Do you remember the first time you saw Paul Curry’s “Out of This  World” performed? Do you remember how badly it fooled you? Know now that  you can own a book full of such magic by the only man who could imagine  it.

In Paul Curry’s Worlds Beyond you will find the original  version of “Out of This World”, which some still consider the best of  the many variations that have been devised. You will also find all the  other Curry classics, “Touch”, “The Sliding Knot”, “Open Prediction”,  “The Color-changing Deck”, “Never in a Lifetime”, “The Power of  Thought”, “Probability Zero” and “IOU”.

But these are just the beginning. Paul Curry’s Worlds Beyond  contains original Curry card sleights, including his turnover change,  and almost seventy tricks and routines that would have brought back that  feeling of complete amazement “Out of This World” aroused in you—had  you seen them performed before you read their secrets. Now you can  arouse the same sense of astonishment in others, when you perform the  other-worldly magic of Paul Curry.
