This is my new book, SECRETS, a Discovery of Magic.
270+ Page Digital PDF Book. 280+ Card Tricks and Deceptions. Instant Download.
SECRETS is my first ever magic notes journal.
When Magic discovered me over 20 years ago, I started to journal all of my creative ides for close-up magic and card tricks, but I didn’t write too much, in stead, I sketched all of my ideas in detailed drawings over 50 pages that would document my discovery of magic.
In 2021, I moved out of my home studio into the Mad House, whilst gutting my old studio, I ripped all of the drawers out of an old filing cabinet, and hiding under the bottom drawer, a familiar black book lay looking up at me.
Although somewhat beaten up, stained and damaged by a recent flood, the book appeared to have dried well, and the contents of each page in good, protected condition. I sat back and prepared for a nostalgic visit, back to the time when magic had found me over 20 years ago. I embraced every page, with excitement, humiliation, laughter, inspiration and motivation.
Now, as a teacher of Magic and the Deceptive Arts, the greatest discovery within my rediscovery of this book, is the amount of hidden gems, life lessons and forgotten magic tricks and deceptions, protected for over 20 years between the beaten covers of my first ever magic journal, that I now get to share with you.
I have spent the past year studying my own work, I have taken the time to offer explanations for each drawing. This book brought back so many performance anecdotes and memories and this new opportunity allowed me to recall them all to share with you, so that you can come with me into the past and experience my own personal discovery of magic.
The 50-page journal has now become an almost 300-page book, offering over 280 Close-up Deceptions, Magic and Card Trick, Sleight-of-Hand Techniques and Ideas, Gimmicks, Gaffs and Trick Decks, Street and Stage performances. The book is full of creative ideas and stories from my performances and I am now delighted to invite you back in time to experience my discovery of Magic.

from 174 reviewsThe quality is unbeatable. The quotes are amazing. I was honored to be a part of the project.
It was an honor to be a part of the Madvice deck. The feel and handling of these cards are second to none. Salute to Daniel and Team Madison for producing these.
This deck turned out beautifully! Truly, a sanctum of ideas.
Every quote a doorway; every card a new story waiting to be written.
Inspiration becomes inevitable the moment they’re in your hands.
It’s an honor to be part of this project, community, and to leave a small stain of wisdom on the cards of MAD history.
The MAD Deck has been the greatest addition to my collection yet! Super clean design and amazing quality for such a low price! 10/10 Recommended it to anyone who takes playing cards seriously!
I’m really excited to use this and DM’s videos are great. I usually wear baggier pants, so I’ve been practicing palming from the device while my hand is half in my pocket and that seems to work quite well. Depending on my pocket size and shape it either naturally goes into classic or gambler’s cop.
I absolutely love how the Madvice playing cards turned out.They are both inspiring and unique and deliver a great meaningful and thoughtful vibe.The Madvice playing cards are quite literally a game changer when it comes to leaving a very nessasary and important lasting impression;whether it be during game play or having a family gathering and discussion of the many great quotes that are showcased within the deck.It is quite simply the absolute perfect holiday deck of cards and for me was a great experience and thankful opportunity to be a part of this project and have "The Ace of Diamonds" as a platform to add one of my long time favorite quotes.The Madvice project sends a very powerful message and speaks volumes that we can always be inspired in life...

Love all the different backs - such a unique deck
Buy this beautiful deck, it's awesome. It comes with a great reveal trick and a tutorial that gives you a lot of ideas.
Following the bottom deal master class it was great. I also liked that it was short and to the point (1 h).
Utterly in love with this deck. So humbled to have played a small part in its creation!
I have absolutly nothing but praise for madison card there cards are excellent qualty the online course are great. Lookforward to my future purchase.
Just got my hands on the Enigma cards and I’m seriously impressed. The feel is super smooth right out of the box, and the design hits that perfect balance of classy and mysterious — exactly what you’d expect from Madison. They handle beautifully for magic and card flourishes, and the subtle look make them stand out without trying too hard. Definitely one of my new favorites in the collection. Love both colors!
