Ear Marked by Werner Miller

This was Werner Miller’s first English publication and it holds 51 astonishing tricks, all based on clever mathematical principles. You will find next to tricks with cards, numbers, and dice also topological tricks with paper and cardboard.

One of my favorite tricks is called “Quick Change Square” where a 4×4 square changes from a non-magic square to a magic square in a flash. In “Crazy Square”, Werner combines the olde “Chinese Compass” with the “magic square” and produces a witty, lively piece. In “Aeolic Prelude”, Werner takes a compass and an ESP deck to produce a nice little bit of ritual to pull off what could best be described as an “anti-coincidence”. “Xcross” uses a chess board and some applied math to work a great revelation.

[Please note that there is a significant overlap in effects with the German ebook Alles Miller oder was.]
