Best Of Duffie 2 by Peter Duffie

The Best of Peter Duffie 1 consisted of material extracted from all of Peter's ebooks prior to the year 2005. It was published by Magic.org. Peter has published more books since that date.

"The Best of Peter Duffie is a perfect cross section of card magic's evolution over the years. Duffie has worked with so many legendary figures that his inspiration is a frenzy of possibilities. Each trick in this book was selected as the very best of Peter Duffie's extensive online library." - Aron Smith

You may ask. 'if volume one was "the best of" then what is special about Volume 2? Well, Peter happens to love the Collectors plot, the Royal Marriages, Hummer's Mindreader's Dream and the Gilbreath Principle, to name but four. He could easily fill a book with the various solutions to these that he has published over the years, and they would all be personal favourites. However, while that may result in a very interesting book for some, it could be deemed to be lacking in variety by others. So, as he plundered each of his ebooks seeking out his favourite routines, he also made sure that he selected a wide variety of plots.

This new volume contains material from all of his ebooks, from 1992 up to the present time. A total of 49 routines have been extracted and reprinted in this new volume - two routines from every book, apart from the ebook called "7". As there are only seven routines in that book, he has included only one here. Where there were illustrations; these are also included. As a bonus item, Peter has included Easy-Print; a routine inspired by Alex Elmsley's Dazzle and which Peter marketed by mail-order in 1994. This is not my Bedazzled.

Here is what was said about Volume 1.
