This routine is one of the most powerful opening effects in close-up magic.

“The Chicago Surprise meets all my criteria for what a superior magic product should be: 1) an audience-tested, professional-caliber routine, 2) well written, 3) both handling and theoretical information (in other words, the how and the why) are included. Many professionals use Whit’s routine. I’m sure you’re going to want to as well.”–Michael Close, MAGIC Magazine

“This entire manuscript is a marvelous piece of work, and if it does not cause you much thought about magic, then something is terribly wrong.”–Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii Magazine
