It starts as an innocent game—just a few matchsticks and a curious challenger. You play, you win, and your opponent is left scratching their head. Then, in a moment of generosity, you reveal the two secret rules that unlock the game. Confident they’ve mastered it, your opponent challenges you to one final showdown. This is when you deliver the final twist… Ready to master the game, leave your opponents outmatched, and always come out on top? Discover the secret of NIM.
The Secret of Nim is the definitive guide to the classic matchstick hustle.

This is such a great game that you will win all the time! 100 % recommended.
Ever since Justin Monehen showed me how to play, I have been hooked.
You won’t have to pay for a drink again after becoming a NIM Master !
Marc Paul –
This is great! I’ve always loved winning at Nim but your secret “third rule” is brilliant, so devious!
Andy Reay –
I think this is going to create quite the storm. If you like a bit of a hustle and a bit of fun with your mates then this is a super three phase routine. X

Ok, so it’s a slim book (48 pages), but it goes through the game in tremendous detail. First you learn the basic rules, then you learn the ‘real’ rules that make the game virtually unbeatable, and finally it goes through every possible configuration that makes you a ‘Nim Master’.
Very pleased to report that the game and rules are insanely easy to remember (no maths) and you’ll be playing and winning immediately.
The intro ‘story’ gives a good feel for how a routine should unfold, and for those that want to delve deeper there is the original game text and maths at the back.
This is clearly aimed at magicians/hobbyists who want to perform a light hearted hustle routine and should not be seen as a con.
Well written, easy to follow, nice routine. Recommended.
