Cut controls by Jerry Sadowitz

This isn' t a review, I just think the cover is funny. Jerry has cunningly put an illustration of a deck of cards between the letters of the word 'Cut' so it actually looks like the word cunt.


Creative genius some would say, others might call it offensive. One thing's for sure, its not a totally original idea.

Check out the photo of the cover of this book titled "A Declaration of Indepdance", the author has cleverly put the word cunt in white font over the flower so on first look you hardly notice it at all, but stare at the book like one of those stereogram pictures and it'll stand out at you.



Almost subliminal eh?

But I hear you say - "That's not a magic book". So I better give you an example of a magic book then.

And this one will shock you.

Have you ever looked really carefully at the cover of Close Up Card Magic?

Take a look...

This one goes one better than putting the word 'cunt' on the cover and disguising it in someway...




Now if you look really carefully inside the outline of the large spade in the center of the cover, there is actually a photograph of a cunt.

At least Jerry Sadowitz's cover is a little bit clever and Jerry hasn't spammed every member of Genii and half the magic crappe trying to get them to buy his latest book - which at $30 is a bargain compared to Harry wanting $100 for a bunch of reprints with some new pictures.
