The Degree Trilogy 3 Book Set by John Guastaferro

Like most magicians, John Guastaferro is constantly striving to improve his magic. But unlike most magicians, he's not focusing on making big changes. Instead, John has spent almost 20 years making small but deliberate tweaks. These "one degree" adjustments may seem insignificant at first glance, but when compounded, they have massive impacts on audiences. After exploring the idea for almost two decades, John Guastaferro and Vanishing Inc. are releasing the complete Degree Trilogy.

Across the three books of the Degree Trilogy, you'll find just under 75 fun, powerful, and practical routines with a deck of cards. Individually, these books were all smash hits, and together, they make a fantastic collection of magic from one of magic's top creators.

The Degree Trilogy comes with all three books, as well as a limited edition slipcase designed by John himself. It's the perfect way to protect and display the books, as well as celebrate the culmination of the trilogy.

Here's what the Degree Trilogy includes:

One Degree

One Degree was the hit that started it all. It was one of Vanishing Inc.'s first best sellers and was voted Book of the Year when it came out. This collection of twenty professional and practical card routines introduced the magic world to John's signature "one degree" theory and showcased his philosophy of making small but meaningful changes to improve your magic. You'll find effects for casual performances, strolling workers, formal close-up, and everything in between.

The Nth Degree

The Nth Degree follows the same obsessive standard as One Degree: every one of these 26 routines is the result of years of micro-adjustments proven in the real world. Whether you're looking for highly engaging, interactive magic, fresh four-of-a-kind plots, or elegant reworkings of the classics, you'll find it here. Expect the Guastaferro trademark: magic that is as fun to perform as it is deceptive to witness.

Final Degree

John saved the best for last with the final instalment in the trilogy: Final Degree. Elevate your card work with twenty-eight professional routines that bridge the gap between classic foundations and modern miracles. From strolling powerhouses to deceptive effects with minimal sleight of hand, this collection is built for the real world. Plus, go behind the curtain with exclusive essays from John on branding, intentional structure, and finding your purpose as a performer.
