Second Wind by Asi Wind

Second Wind from Asi Wind takes the sleight-free, simple beginner tricks we all started magic with and transforms them into modern miracles that will fool even the most knowledgeable magicians.

Don’t let the deliberately vintage design fool you—while Asi lovingly emulates the classic typewriter fonts and hand-drawn illustrations of old beginner books, the content within represents cutting-edge magical thinking. The contents of the book are beginner tricks reimagined through the lens of a master craftsman.

Asi’s approach is so smart: he takes familiar effects and layers them with multiple methods and principles, creating magic so deceptive that audiences simply have to give up trying to figure it out.

Second Wind captures the charm of vintage magic books with its compact, pocket-sized format—small enough to carry anywhere while remaining perfectly readable.
