BONUS!
“The best card trick in the world” has been reimagined to let you predict a specific time of day. This diabolically clever routine is ideal for media appearances on radio and TV. But it blows people’s minds anywhere, anytime, and it resets in seconds. The Touring Secrets Guide includes instructions for making the deck and performing it.

The Touring Secrets Guide was written by Ted Outerbridge after 16 years of touring internationally with the largest and most successful touring illusion show in Canada. Critics have hailed Ted and Marion Outerbridge as “the most successful magicians in Canada” (Montreal Gazette) and “champions of magic” (Bergedorfer Zeitung, Hamburg, Germany). The Touring Secrets Guide was the basis of the Outerbridge lecture at the 2015 IBM Jacksonville convention.

“This is without a doubt the best set of lecture notes I’ve seen, actually it’s more like a book. Full details and in color which reflects on the type of work the Outerbridge’s do on and off stage. If you have EVER thought about putting together a tour or even currently tour this book is for you. It covers EVERYTHING you would need to know which can only come from years of being on the road – 16 years to be exact! These are the real secrets of magic and how to make a living. Actually, even if you didn’t tour Ted talks about radio interviews, press, publicity, etc. which we can all learn from.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”
PAUL ROMHANY│VANISH – INTERNATIONAL MAGIC MAGAZINE

“A few words to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your lecture notes. Not only were they instructive and entertaining, they were inspiring as well! It was like I was sitting across the table from you and that we had a discussion on what it takes to succeed in this business. Your generosity in sharing the ins and outs of being on the road, promoting the show, getting media attention and creating material provided me with real insights that you can only get by paying your dues on a span of many years. Thanks for saving me some potential headaches and shortening my learning curve.

The tricks you explain are great, entertaining and, of course, practical. Not only did I truly enjoy the lecture notes, I got better as a magician and human being as a result of reading them! Thanks again!”
