Stepladders & Demon Traps makes you a thoughtful, confident creator of your own magic."This is the best thing I've read this year."
- Mark Elsdon
Why do magicians ask people to say "stop" instead of "freeze" or "hold it"? Why do they pretend to fail a trick? Why does a routine include a magic effect at all?
Stepladders & Demon Traps advocates purpose in the creation of a magic routine. Countless choices are always made but not always consciously, so Nicolaj Christensen reminds us to identify a creative vision and actively explore and cherry-pick the most fitting ideas. In a nutshell, form follows function.
Teaching seven routines (close-up and stand-up, with and without playing cards), Nicolaj provides a case study of various choices he has made to fit the elements of each routine to its vision, trying to support what's at the center of each premise and clean out the clutter.
Five essays speak more generally about a deliberate creative process:
- A summary of the routines as part of a larger vision.
- A reminder that changes cannot be made in isolation.
- A deconstruction of brainstorming as an analytical tool.
- A helpful distinction between theme and premise.
- A discussion of the kinds of subject matter that come with the territory of a magician. Nicolaj suggests that if a magic trick doesn't take into account the layers of meaning inherent to magic-as-magic, the work might be fundamentally out of touch with itself.

Best cabin filter I've ever used...
After my girlfriend dumped a container of Italian beef juice onto the passenger side floor mat and having it soak into the floor mat and the carpeting, it left my new car stinking of Beef gravy. I bought this to hopefully extract the annoying and horrible smell from my car. The filter is perfectly made and fit with exacting precision and minimal effort. If is well built and of superb quality, materials. The bright white cartridge style top side is pleated for maximum air to filter contact. The other side has these wonderful beads of activated charcoal/carbon that are for absorbing odors. As soon as I installed it and turned on my ventilation/ AC/Heat, I could smell the clean filter and also a sense of cleaner air. Hoping this will do the job in time!!

Good Fit & Fresh Air, But Slightly Reduced Airflow
I recently installed this cabin air filter in my 2024 4Runner, and it fits perfectly. It does a great job of filtering out the dusty Las Vegas air, leaving the cabin smelling fresh. However, I did notice a slight reduction in Airflow, on the highest blower setting, it feels like the output is about 25% lower than usual. It’s still early to tell how it will perform long term, but so far, it's doing its job well. If you prioritize air quality over maximum airflow, this is a solid choice at a good price too!

Filter fits well into cabin filter compartment of 2011 Toyota Avalon Limited.
Fits easily into my cabin filter slot of my 2011 Toyota Avalon Limited. It has performed well after a month of use. The design of this filter appears to be superior to the filters that are utilized at the Toyota dealer.
The filter was easy to install via the back of the glove compartment.
