Get the book here: cardmagicbyjason.com/

What about David Lee Roth, David Bowie, David Beckham, David Blaine, David Copperfield and the coolest David of them all, You?

I bought my copy from Vanishing Inc for $48 during Black Friday sale, also bought Game Changer. Cant wait to get them.

Love the review! I plan to purchase this book and would love to hear a review on his second book. Thanks David.

Fantastic review! Definitely going to have to pick this one up!

I agree on the Jason tangent, Jason and the Argonauts for an example of the "we're all dorks" point too ! (Just trying to catch up with all the massive amount of content you've put out, very impressive)

Thank you for reviewing this. I really wanted to read a review of his books. I'm not sure if there is a review for Game Changer either.

Great review David, absolutely love the book reviews. You are 1 of only 2 magic channels that review books on a regular... And I'm here for it 👌🏼 Book looks great BTW, have you reads/got a copy of his 2nd book too? And if so, is it also worth getting? Gotta say Vanishing Inc. put out, in my opinion, the BEST magic books. Always so well made and laid out. Happy Friday dude!, here's to a great weekend 👍🏼

King David. Anyone who can smite a Goliath with a slingshot is undeniably cool (and bad in a good way).

Great book! Glad to see that it was reprinted.

I bought this as soon as it was back in stock, I had no idea the videos came with it! LOL Thanks David for a great review.

you and me David 👍🏻👍🏻 I like the way Jason’s book title blacks out the “con” of confident 👮🏼‍♂️🎰🚔🏛 Happy Friday!

Great book review. Jason is a wizard with cards.😊👍😊👍👍

Have you done a review for the gaff lighter project from Adam Wilbur and Vulpine Creations? I haven’t seen any reviews for it yet, at least to my knowledge

Gday David great review of an incredible card mechanic. Better do u think to get the book, DVD series, or both?

David Blaine is pretty dope

That is a cool book and a very good review for it.

Both of Jason's books are of tip top quality!

I've taken a few zoom lessons from him. Cool guy........ You didn't mention Jason England. Another cool Jason.

David Blaine. David Roth. David Stone. David Regal. David Copperfield. David Williamson. David L&L.

David Regal, Copperfield, Kaye, Johnathan,etc. And how could you not think T-shirt and jeans wearing David Blaine isn’t cool? Come on David we are in great company.

awesome review...as always. my only concern here is: with gaff decks or wallets we will often say something like "can i do this/that effect WITHOUT this gaffed deck etc.. So why dont we mention that with books often. Jason is DEFINITELY a great cardician easily top 5 in the world imo. BUT i own virtually every book, pdf etc of his and i have seldom come across an effect which would not be perceieved exactly the same from a spectator, but done in a much easier fashion. I think he has a tendency to lean indulge in his great skill a lil too much. I challenge anyone who owns one of his books, to take a few moments and think..."can't i just do this portion with a simple __ instead?" The answer in 9 of 10 of his effects will be YES. This isnt HIS fault either. Darwin (his mentor) would often do the exact same. I loved most of Darwin's effects that i saw. He and Ammar were my first dvd sets. I never liked tho how TIGHT Darwin's style was often and the frequent SQUEEZING of the deck etc. Anyway, as i progressed and became expert level myself thru the years, i would fo back and review MY roots (those old dvds). And i immediately noticed a "why did he do it that way" moment...then another, then another. So it is no surprise that unfortunatelt Jason does the same things. For me, i go for: 1. effect from spectator perception and, 2. economy and naturalism of motion. imo, although the effects AND SKILL are top flight no doubt, they are often contrived in respect to economy of motion and could be and done sooo much easier. Just my thoughts as to why many reviewers do not mention things like this when reviewing the books. Whereas, like i said, we will do so with a gaffed deck etc.

Somebody got into the magic brownies. Lol!

You mention he doesn't hold your hand and that you need to know the slights he mentions (such as Marlo's convincing control). What book do you recommend that describes the slights in this book for us beginners who might not know all the slights he uses in the book

How about a recommendation for a beginner book that would be a good prerequisite for this one?

David lee Roth ! David Crosby ! Lot’s of cool David’s

This is great! Please let's have everyone go to Vanishing Inc and ask for Destroyers & Moments from Troy Hoosier and The Complete Sankey!

First big fan love from india🇮🇳

You forgot DAVID and GOLIATH! 😆

LOL.CHEAP. I fell for it.

Jason and the Argonauts anyone?

David Copperfield?
