Giacomo Bertini's System for Amazement

A complete rethinking of coin magic from one of its boldest innovators.
Giacomo Bertini has long been respected among elite coin magicians, but with System for Amazement, his work is finally revealed in full. This book presents a radically original system of sleights and theory that redefines what’s possible in coin magic.

At the heart of the system is Bertini’s theory of micro-misdirection—a subtle and effective approach that opens new doors in both method and effect. Combined with dozens of original sleights, this method enables the creation of brand-new routines and the reimagining of classic effects with modern elegance and astonishing deception.

Born in Florence, Italy, Bertini developed his techniques in near isolation—an origin that led not to repetition, but to true innovation. Over decades, he built a comprehensive structure of coin magic, and now, for the first time, it’s fully documented in one groundbreaking volume.

What you'll learn:

• A full system of coin sleights—completely original and widely adaptable

• The theory of micro-misdirection that powers the entire system

• Professional-level routines that are visual, fooling, and practical

• New and previously published material, unified and fully explained

• Over 300 pages of techniques, philosophy, and performance-tested magic

This is not just another coin magic book—it’s a foundational work that belongs in the hands of any magician serious about sleight-of-hand. Whether you're a working professional or a passionate student, System for Amazement will challenge and inspire you like few others.
