Placebo by Daniel Madison

Placebo is Daniel Madison's most recent book containing the thoughts of a man pushing the boundaries of what is possible with a deck of cards.

This is a collection of sleights and ideas for deception with playing cards.
Sometimes difficult, sometimes simple, always risky.
Ideas that should not work, but do.

These are trophy moves, not for laymen,
but boasting moves for the entertainment of the privy.
Routines and effects are merely vehicles for ideas.

I offer no direction, sometimes suggestions
but deliberately no more than ideas.
If you think they work or not, you are right.

I am Daniel Madison.

This is Placebo.
