Excellent!!!

I was watching a old 52kards YouTube vid and I heard Asad mention that he highly recommended this series. I’ve always had a hard time following card magic books but upon further research I’ve heard numerous people say how easy these were to follow and they really are! I went ahead and bought the first 4 volumes at once and I’m going to read through them all from beginning to end even the stuff I already know. I have to say that there are so many new small touches I’ve been learning that I’ve been missing out on in mostly only watching video tutorials on YouTube. I’m very very happy with these books. 52kards service and shipping was exceptional as always. Thanks Asad and crew!!!

Great series!

I haven't read the books yet, but I've heard great things about this series and Roberto Giobbi. I do have other books on card magic which look very interesting, but I think they will simply compliment Card College. I'm old-school, so I love having a physical book in my hands. As a beginner magician, this series will help me learn this art step-by-step. YouTube is still a great place to watch how-to videos, but nothing beats good old fashioned books! A must-have for magicians of all levels!
