Verbal Magic draws from a large repertoire of effects that Tamariz created for performances on radio and television, situations where the magician does not have direct contact with the spectator. Many of these effects are performed by the spectator in his or her own hands. For example, the spectator takes a few red and black cards from the deck and following the magician's instructions, mixes them chaotically. Yet, voila, the colors magically separate.
In the book Tamariz says that when seeing one of the tricks performed spectators should "experience it as a magical effect that only the magician can produce through his spells and special powers...." In his 2008 review in Genii magazine, Jamy Ian Swiss asked "...isn't that the goal of any magical performance--no matter the particular method or effect in use? This amazing--and fun!--book is a manual of how to achieve it in the most challenging circumstances of all, filled with larger, if subtle lessons on almost every page."
