Discover the Hidden Genius Behind the Curtain of Magic.
The Finest Magic of Pedro Lacerda is more than a long-overdue magic book — it’s a front-row seat into the life and work of one of magic’s most quietly influential minds. Spanning 300 pages and featuring over 300 crystal-clear photos, this volume is a treasure trove for serious students of the art.
Inside, you'll find Pedro's personal journey through magic, from his early days to international tours, to his behind-the-scenes role as a key organizer of FISM 2000. But this is no mere memoir. You'll gain access to Pedro’s entire professional repertoire — the effects he used to fool, charm, and astonish — as well as a dedicated Toolbox Section of knuckle-busting card techniques, explained with clarity and precision.
A direct disciple of Arturo de Ascanio, Pedro absorbed Ascanio’s theory and artistry first-hand — often sitting with him in his own home before the famed El Escorial gatherings. Every sleight and sequence in this book carries the fingerprint of that lineage. Whether you're a performer, a collector, or a student of magic's deeper mysteries, this is the kind of book that becomes the crown jewel of a magician’s library.
With a foreword by FISM Champion Helder Guimarães and a heartfelt preface by master magician Armando Gómez, this book opens with tributes from two of the most respected minds in modern magic.
Also included is a rare, no-holds-barred Q&A between Pedro Lacerda and renowned Portuguese magician Rui Fernandes — an intimate conversation that reveals the man behind the magic: his philosophy, his influences, and the path that shaped his remarkable career.
