TESSERACT – Mike Powers

TESSERACT by Mike Powers is a large-format hardcover collection of modern close-up magic, bringing together 55 carefully developed routines across a wide range of props and performance styles. Following the success of Power Plays, this volume continues Mike Powers’ reputation for practical, inventive, and highly visual magic.

Drawing on more than 40 years of experience as both a physics professor and professional magician, Mike presents material with a clear teaching style that emphasizes understanding, structure, and workable methods. The book is supported by over 330 photographs, making each routine easy to follow, and includes free online video instruction covering required moves and handling.

While card magic plays a central role, TESSERACT reaches far beyond cards. The book includes routines using coins, paper money, rubber bands, rings, envelopes, business cards, and even an iPhone. There are also selected mentalism pieces, self-working mathematical effects, and a memorized-deck routine that is stack independent while preserving stack order.

A standout feature is the closing routine, Heisting Histed Heisted 3.0, the latest version of Mike Powers’ well-known series, designed to create a strong impression of genuine thought reading.

The material ranges from technically engaging routines to self-working pieces, offering a balanced selection for magicians with different interests and skill levels.
