Initially released at Blackpool magic convention,\u00a0we have a limited number of copies available on\u00a0our site.\u00a0<\/span>Here is the foreword by Derren Brown, with whom Andy is currently on tour:<\/p>\n

\u201cA<\/em><\/span>ndrew Frost has the best Double Lift I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019ve seen a few Double Lifts in my time. I\u2019ve waited awkwardly while a pushy neophyte fumbles with a resolute index finger to get purchase; equally I\u2019ve admired the smooth nonchalance with which an experienced card-botherer sets up for the ruse. But no matter how neatly achieved, I don\u2019t think one has ever passed me by. There\u2019s always a whiff, an aura which causes some internal radar needle to flutter and bounce as the sleight refuses to pass by entirely undetected.<\/p>\n

Now, you\u2019ll say, because it\u2019s the kind of nasty thing you tend to say: what about the times when you were fooled? Surely on those occasions a Double deceived you, the point is that you wouldn\u2019t have registered it, and therefore you won\u2019t know to count such instances in your arrogant register of other people\u2019s failings. Perhaps. In which case, it may be more accurate to say that Andrew\u2019s is the only one I know has fooled me, but I\u2019m sticking with my story. When he showed me the move, I could not process that I was watching a Double. It\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n

Now, Andy is a brilliant magician. When I first asked him to join our team, I was taken aback by how loved he is by his peers. Everyone that knew him enthused wildly. And then once I spent a little time with him, I quickly understood their devotion. Furthermore, he manages to remain just as likeable when he performs. It\u2019s very easy to become the worst version of ourselves the moment we step before an audience. Perhaps it\u2019s his background in stand-up, or even teaching, but when he performs, he\u2019s very present, completely natural and engaged even with a perfectly thought-through script, and very funny when he wants to be. I have cried with laughter at his tricks backstage when we toured together for\u00a0Showman<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, he only has good things to say about other people. Listening in on the trio of Andy, Alex Hansford and Bradley Hodgins, who graced the show\u2019s backstage, I was struck by how kind they were towards each other, how supportive and encouraging they were in their late night card sessions. Furthermore, this sentiment extended out towards the fraternity generally: they never had a bad word to say about anyone. When does that ever happen? Perhaps it\u2019s the quiet security and generosity of spirit that comes with proper talent.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how these qualities might come to inform a magic utility sleight like a Double Lift. But he is kind and wise and loved, and we should look closely at what such a person has to offer us. Pay attention to the details described here, because if you nail this, it\u2019s a treasure. And then, if you get to spend more time with Andy, I hope that, like me, you try to keep learning.<\/p>\n
