**Volume 1**
The Quick Change Artist
Here's a great opener with lots of visual magic including multiple color changes followed by the four aces turning into the four jacks.
Precision Aces
Four aces and three selections are lost in different places in the deck. After a few shuffles, the aces trap all the selections.
The Big Blind
Here's an amazing Texas Hold 'Em demonstration. The performer divines the flop, turn, and river cards from a shuffled deck-and wins the hand with a powerful hand.
Bringing Down the House
It's the strongest blackjack demonstration you'll ever see. The performer deals four suited naturals from a deck shuffled by the audience.
**Volume 2**
Ladanye's Ambitious Card
Every performer seems to have their own version of this effect. Ladanye's version has a closer that brings the house down. One of the cleanest and strongest versions you'll ever perform.
Arcane Control
The performer gives a stunning demonstration of how he can control cards during a shuffle.
The Player
This is a version of the torn and restored transposition made famous by David Williamson and David Blaine. Jason reworked the effect and gave it a killer presentation. This one is a real crowd pleaser.
Forging Ahead
Here's one of the strongest signature transfers you'll ever do. In Jason's version of this classic plot, you transfer the initials from the face of one card to the face of another card. This effect will eviscerate your audience.
**Volume 3**
Lucky 50
A fifty-dollar bet is made that the performer can find a selection from a deck mixed by a spectator. The performer wins the bet and finds the card where no one suspects.
The Set-Up
The performer offers to teach a card trick to the audience. After the explanation they are left with an even greater mystery.
The Ultimate Exchange
The magician makes a card change places with another card that's face up in the spectator's hand!
Through and Through
The performer pushes a single playing card through the table. The effect is repeated. On his second attempt, the entire deck travels though the table - except for one card - the signed selection.
**Volume 4**
The Gathering
The performer finds three selections using four aces in just one shuffle.
Thought Transference
The performer causes a card the spectator is thinking of to disappear from a packet of cards. The thought-of card reappears under the spectator's hand.
The Big Stack
This is a gambling demo that will bring the house down. The performer shuffles the deck twice and deals himself the four queens. His opponent has the four kings. When the performer shows his hand again it's turned into the four aces.
Best for Last
The performer deals himself every poker hand from lowest to highest. This is a closer that you'll add to your repertoire right away!

Can be effectively used as a working tool for the predictor (not just for investments)
Format: Hardcover
This is one of the best works on the declining economy and US, associated possible revolution/civil war and later major power war, that is presented in a clear, convincing and replicable way. Kudos to Dalio!! More importantly, the contents of the book can be used to predict upcoming events rather than just perceiving the world on fire with several likely upcoming breakouts (e.g., war with China over Taiwan, the likely loss of our reserve currency, the unsustainable and uncontrollable burgeoning national debt which grows by a trillion USD every 100 days). The author makes a valid case that significant events are moving very rapidly and, for the rest of the 2020s, things are going to get a whole lot worse for the non-elites in our society. Of note, the book was actually written in 2020, published the next year, which then allows the readership now in 2025 to verify the accuracy the observations and predictions. Right on target!

Great book for understanding how the world works!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Dalio has a unique perspective on the topic of the changing world order. He is a successful businessman who has spent his career analyzing economic trends and patterns, and this book is a culmination of his findings. His writing is clear and concise, making complex economic concepts easy to understand.
One of the best features of the book is its organization. The book is broken down into 14 chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the changing world order. Dalio starts with the big picture, examining the major forces driving the changing world order, before delving into the specifics of each major empire, including the Dutch, British, American, Chinese, Soviet, and Japanese empires. Ultimately, he brings everything full circle by discussing the changing world order today and what the future may hold.
Another great aspect of the book is the way that Dalio weaves history and economics together. He doesn't just present economic theories in a vacuum; he uses real-world examples to show how they have played out over time. For example, in Chapter 5, he discusses the Great Depression and how it shaped the changing world order in the 1930s and 1940s. He also uses the rise of populism in Chapter 7 to illustrate how economic inequality can lead to political instability.
Overall, I would highly recommend "The Changing World Order" to any intelligent human interested in economics, history, or politics. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping our world today and what the future may hold. As Dalio himself puts it, "understanding how the world works is essential if you want to accomplish your goals and live a fulfilling life."
Here are some key takeaways from the book:
The changing world order is driven by three major forces: the changing relative powers of countries, the changing relative productivity of countries, and the changing values of countries.
The rise and fall of empires is a natural part of the changing world order. Each empire has its own unique characteristics, but they all follow a similar pattern of rise, peak, and decline.
The post-World War II order was built on the idea of free trade and cooperation between nations. However, this order is now under threat due to rising nationalism and protectionism.
China is currently on the rise and is likely to become the world's dominant economic power in the coming decades. However, although this rise is not guaranteed, and there are many challenges that China will need to overcome, the US needs to step up its game on several fronts to compete.
The future of the world order is uncertain, but there are a few things we can say with some degree of certainty. For example, the rise of automation and artificial intelligence is a hot topic today likely to have a major impact on the global economy in the coming years.
Overall, "The Changing World Order" is a well-written and informative book that is sure to appeal to a wide range of readers. Whether you're a history buff, an economics nerd, or just someone who wants to better understand the world we live in, this book is well worth your time. As Dalio himself says, "The more you know, the more you'll understand, and the more you'll be able to make informed decisions about your own life." Five stars from me, give it a read!

10/10 Recommend
Format: Hardcover
I took Jeffrey Sachs's Globalization class on EDX Academy and somehow stumbled upon this book in between class and finding books around the subject.
I watched his youtube video that generalizes the book and was blown away by how my current class I was taking aligned with it.
This book is an easy read, and especially for those who aren't well-versed about world history and world economics. I will admit that I do love history, and am learning economics, so this book was a beautiful way merge all these timelines together.
The book breaks down and summarizes key points in world history and economics to make points to get the message across each chapter.
Font size is great! Might even be considered larger compared to other books.
The only thing I wish this book provided was thicker paper in the physical book itself, especially for the hardcover version.
If Ray Dahlio ever comes out with a special edition of this with a higher quality paper, I would gladly purchase it for my collection.

Excellent book – exciting and educational!

This book is a true gem! It took us on a journey back in time and revealed the real story of the Olympic Games in a simple, vivid, and perfectly understandable way for children. My young students loved it, and I found it extremely useful and well-written. Ideal for kids who love history, sports, or simply want to learn something different in a fun way.
Highly recommended!
