The Five Points in Magic by Juan Tamariz

Discover the Five Points and the Secrets of Using Them
Long out of print and widely sought after, The Five
Points in Magic is Juan Tamariz’s highly regarded
study of the physical and psychological secrets that
use the body to fool the mind. He shows in detail how
each of these five possessions:
• The Eyes • The Voice • The Hands • The
Feet • The Body
. . . can be marshaled to create entertaining and
seemingly impossible happenings.
In The Five Points in Magic, Juan Tamariz teaches
magicians that it is not the hands alone that deceive,
but also the feet, the body, the eyes and the voice.
It is only through a full understanding of all five of
these tools of nature and communication that the
conjurer can spin a complete web of illusion that
traps and then transports his audiences into the
astonishing realm he has prepared for them.
These five tools are essential and invaluable to the
stage conjurer and the close-up magician alike, and
they are clearly analyzed and taught by Tamariz from
his vantage point of years of successful professional
performance in both venues. Tamariz enhances the
clarity of his ideas and explanations with solid
examples drawn from his own repertoire. As the reader
learns seminal principles, he also learns these
professional effects and techniques:
• The Appearing Card on Handkerchief
• Crossing the Gaze
• Double Crossing the Gaze
• The Ribbonspread Force
• Al’s Topper (a book test)
• Protean Poker
• Upper Cut (a Tamarisian study of Larry Jennings’
Coin Cut)
There is no other book that so quickly, efficiently
and entertainingly puts into the reader’s hands the
tools required to raise his performances to a level of
true professionalism and draw his audiences into the
world of magic.
