Resigned to Miracles by Peter Gröning: The Holy Grail of Signed Card Magic
Imagine performing signed card miracles that seem genuinely impossible. Not just difficult. Not just clever. Truly, utterly impossible. Peter Gröning's Resigned to Miracles delivers exactly that with one of the most brilliant breakthroughs in modern card magic.
This hardcover book reveals a revolutionary method for secretly obtaining genuine duplicate signatures, one of the holy grails of card magic. Once you understand this ingenious technique, you'll unlock an entire arsenal of miracles that were simply impossible before.
The genius of Gröning's approach? It takes advantage of what he calls ecological magic, recycling the waste product from a previous effect. No secret gimmicks. No hidden writers or duplicators. Just brilliant thinking that exploits laypeople's natural assumptions once a trick appears to be over.
Here's what makes this methodology so powerful: You're getting real, genuine signatures on duplicate cards. This opens up effects that have never been possible before. Cards can visually transform while remaining signed. Signatures can travel between impossible locations. The applications are limited only by your imagination.
Standout Effects Inside:
Bit by Bit - The crown jewel of this collection. A card is signed on the back by your spectator. Then, impossibly, the face of the card begins to fade and disappear, bit by bit, each time you wave an envelope over it. When the face has completely vanished, the spectator opens the envelope to discover their signed card inside. The card that just disappeared is still in your hands, still signed on the back, but now completely blank on the face. This is the kind of magic that creates genuine astonishment.
Fade In - A blank card is signed on the back. Slowly, bit by bit, the face of a chosen card appears on this blank card until a full image materializes. The card remains signed on the back throughout the entire transformation. It's visual, impossible, and unforgettable.
Signed Sealed Delivered - The only completely impromptu effect in the book. This one requires no previous setup or performance, making it perfect for those unexpected moments when someone asks to see a trick.
Beyond these headline effects, you'll discover numerous applications for the duplicate signature principle. Gröning has even explored using this technique with other objects like coins, expanding the possibilities beyond card magic.
These effects require some sleight of hand, though nothing particularly difficult. If you're comfortable with intermediate card handling, you'll be able to perform these miracles. The methods are clever, the presentations are strong, and the reactions will be the best you've ever received.
What separates this book from typical card magic collections is the thinking behind it. Gröning hasn't just created tricks. He's developed an entirely new approach to signed card magic that changes what's possible. The duplicate signature method is the foundation, but the real magic is in how he applies it to create genuine impossibilities.
The book is beautifully produced by Hermetic Press in a quality hardcover edition. The explanations are clear and detailed, with enough nuance to help you understand not just how the tricks work, but why they're structured the way they are.
Why This Book Matters:
Getting a genuine duplicate signature has always been considered one of card magic's most challenging problems. Magicians have used secret writers, nail writers, carbon paper, and countless other solutions, each with their own drawbacks. Gröning's method sidesteps all of these issues with an approach so clever you'll wonder why nobody thought of it before.
The effects in this book aren't just theory. They're practical, performable miracles that have been tested in real-world conditions. These are routines you can add to your working repertoire knowing they'll deliver powerful reactions every single time.
