Particle System By Joshua Jay (Video+PDF)

This innovative new system from Joshua Jay revolutionizes memorized deck magic. It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced stack worker or have never attempted to use a memorized deck before, every magician will benefit from reading The Particle System.

For most of his magic career, Joshua Jay was a loyal devotee of the Aronson Stack. Then he did something that many magicians would consider insane: he created his own stack. After more than 10 years of meticulous development and refinement, The Particle System is finally available.

Josh has been fooling people around the world with this for years, including in his smash-hit shows Six Impossible Things and Look Closer. The biggest benefit of “The Particle System” is undoubtedly the ability to table the deck and cut to any named card without even looking. However, this powerful and versatile stack is also so much more than just another way to jazz your way through think-a-card-tricks.

As the name implies, this is a complete system. The Particle System contains a variety of clever in-built benefits and is easier to learn than other stacks. Get ready to unlock a world of new card magic potential.

With this beautiful, cloth-linen hardcover book, you’ll not only learn the ins and outs of the system, but also a variety of mind-blowing routines that take complete advantage of everything it has to offer. There’s even a whole chapter devoted to false shuffles and other easy ways to elevate the impact of the “Particle Stack”. Everything is taught in expert detail alongside crystal-clear full color photographs.

Just be warned, once you read The Particle System, you’ll never want to use a deck of cards that isn’t in Particle Stack again.

What is the Particle System?
While most memorized decks rely on using the complete arrangement of cards, the Particle Stack can also be broken down into segments—each of which offers unique potential. You can perform many of card magic’s strongest effects (like Be Honest What is it? or a color separation) without disturbing the order of the cards, or locate any named card with near-perfect accuracy in seconds. And, at all times, you’re just a cut away from a blockbuster ending worthy of closing any performance.

“The Particle Stack” is easier to get into from new deck order than most other memorized decks, and is more practical and easier to memorize than nearly any other stack. It is not only perfect for someone just starting their journey into memorized deck magic, but also makes it a much easier pill to swallow for anyone who has already spent time working with another stack.

Memorization Made Easy
You do not have to fear memorizing the Particle Stack because Josh dedicates an entire section to breaking down every element and simplifying the memorization process. Careful consideration was given to creating an arrangement that looks genuinely mixed, but is also tacitly built in a way that makes it twice as fast to memorize as any other stack. Once you know one card, you also know its mate.

The Particle System also includes access to a custom training tool that helps you learn the stack in no time. Anyone who purchases directly from Vanishing Inc. will also receive special emails from Josh that give you an overview of the stack and show you how to dive in before your book even arrives.

Full Routines & Videos Included
To help you get the most out of The Particle System, Josh teaches you a variety of powerful effects. He even gets you started with routines that don’t require you to have the stack fully committed to memory. To make the learning process easier, a helpful visual key is also included that tells you at a glance if a routine requires the “Particle Stack” or can be done with any stack, if memorization is needed, if it can be done in the hands or not, and if it maintains the stack throughout the routine.

While many of these routines can technically be performed separately with any memorized deck, the real value comes from the way Josh has used the “Particle Stack” to combine them into three complete acts– each of which has a beginning, middle, and stunning ending. Get ready to discover the secret to blowing away any audience with nothing more than a deck of cards in your pocket.

Each book is accompanied by exclusive professional-quality videos where Josh performs his favorite routines in front of a live audience at the Rhapsody Theater in Chicago. You’ll get to see a full show in action before Josh dives deep into the explanations. He’ll even teach you how to get in and out of the stack, all of the possible blockbuster kickers you can add to routines, and even tricks that make switching in a stacked deck easier.
