X (My 10 Go-To Card FX) by Rune Carlsen

Enjoy the best card effects from the nearly 40-year career of award-winning magician Rune Carlsen.

Few magicians possess the level of expertise and passion for magic that Rune Carlsen has. The Norwegian magican's deep respect for advancing the art allows him to regularly create magical experiences that not only astound lay audiences, but also his fellow peers.

It's the perfect blend of his takes on well-known classics as well as lesser-known gems.

Everything is explained in great detail alongside gorgeous, crystal-clear photos. To enhance the learning process even further, Rune has also created a digital community with video tutorials that you can access through the convenient QR code.

X is so much more than just a compilation of tricks though. Each effect is enriched by Rune's personal notes and essays. You'll get an exclusive look at his thought process and how his magic was evolved throughout an impressive career that has seen him win numerous international awards and make multiple TV appearances, including being the only two-time Golden Buzzer winner on Sweden's Got Talent. Everything is rounded out with contributions from beloved magicians like Shawn Farquhar, John Guastaferro, Vidar Strat, Jason Dean, Steve Ehlers, Tom Daugherty, Geoff Williams, Paul Vigil, Martin Nash, and Jared Kopf,

More than three years in the making, this remarkable collection of professional card effects is a testament to Rune's legacy. It does matter if you were already familiar with his work, or if this is your introduction, every magician will benefit from the incredible value these pages hold.
