Sometimes, you need more than just a collection of tricks.
“…performing insights from a serious pro… really good, really weird, and I enjoyed it a LOT.”
– Phill Smith
Imagine if you had the ability to take a normal moment in time and bend it into something profound – sometimes magical, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes strange, but always meaningful. You have this ability RIGHT NOW, inside you – IF you have the knowledge to tap into it. If only there was a book…
And when Brent locked himself in a hotel room for three days with only his notebooks full of ideas, that is exactly the book he created.
PLOTS, PLOYS, AND OTHER CONS is conceived and assembled by the one man perhaps better qualified to write it than anyone else.
Brent Braun is the man whom serious students of magic come to when they need practical guidance in their effects, shows, and overall game winning strategies. Brent has coached dozens of magicians, including some of the biggest names in the business, and has worked on numerous television projects. A top-notch teacher, performer, and creator of magic, he is highly a sought after teacher and consultant.
Plots, Ploys, and Other Cons grew from the laboratory of Brent’s experience. It is practical, emotional, and encouraging. It will teach you about plots, ploys, and other cons, but it isn’t about the effects.
- Page 105 shows you a foolproof watch and wallet steal ANYONE can do RIGHT NOW (It is UNDETECTABLE). Perfect if you’re too scared to steal a wallet or watch.

- The advice on page 11 can help you quadruple your magic income – if you work it.
