If you secretly get a playing card that has the real signature of someone from the audience, and nobody knew or would only suspect that it would exist, would you have a use for it? We thought.

And what if the method for obtaining this signed card happened to be an incredibly strong, 100% practical card effect?

And what if the only props they needed for this were playing cards and a normal marker? No expensive or soon outdated high-tech.

And what if this principle and this trick with a number of other incredibly strong, completely impossible card tricks with signed spectator cards are only getting up to get your own creative juices going?

If all of this sounds like something you could use, then Resigned to Miracles is your book.

Resigned to Miracles presents a method to secretly get real signatures from one or two spectators on the back of playing cards. Nobody suspects that these signed cards exist, not even the people they signed!

The signatures are obtained in the performance, without backstage technology or copy methods. They are originals, no copies. Armed with these signed cards, you can achieve exceptional effects, effects that nobody will expect or can explain.

The method with which this is possible has been kept under closure for over thirty -five years. Peter Gröning, her creator, used her to win the first prize in close-up magic at the Swedish championships in 1999 and only shared them with a few card magicians who understood their value and preserved their secret.

After these many years, Peter decided to make his concept and the very strong effect that enables a wider selection of the magic community to make it possible.

In addition, he explains a dozen highly original, deeply amazing effects with cards and one with coins that are signed by viewers. With these ideas you will amaze your audience and have a tool that can be used without limitations. They are about to resign with great joy.

Peter Gröning was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1966, where he still lives with his wife Anki and the two children Gustaf and Ellen. Since 1983 he has been singing, acting and dancing professionally in numerous theater productions, musicals, operas, films, contemporary dance companies and on television. He also appears as a mentalist for large companies and other customers.
