In this definitive work on card technique, step-by-step instructions teach you the correct methods for the basic manipulations and the more advanced flourishes, and only then allow you to learn tricks.

Offering the most foolproof methods available, Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue explain such basic manipulation as the palm, the shuffle, the lift, the side slip, the pass, the glimpse, the jog and the reverse. They detail various false deals, crimps and changes and the more advanced execution needed for forces, fans and the use of the prearranged deck. Also presented is a wide variety of tricks, including discoveries, self-working tricks, one-handed tricks, stranger cards, and such individually famous tricks as The Four Aces, The Rising Cards, and the Zingone spread. In addition, the authors include a complete compendium of shakedown sleights-to warn the card player and aid the entertainer-and a performer's guide to misdirection and patter.

Many of the methods explained were revealed here for the first time, while many previously known tricks are presented in improved version. In every case the aim is simplicity of technique for the purpose of mystifying an audience, not technique for sake of technique. An unsurprpassed collection of methods and manipulations, this classic work will help any aspriring magician to achieve expert card technique.

A Must Have Classic

This not only one of the best, but also one of the most vast books on sleight of hand card magic. Given the shear content that is in this book, it is worth every penny. It covers everything, from palming to false dealing to passes and has a lot of material from Charlie Miller, one of the greatest men in card magic.

Thanks for the awesome review

A Must Have

No cardman, close up magician, card mechanic, or magic collector's library would be complete without this. Whether you're starting or have been doing it for decades do yourself a favor, get this book. However if you've been doing this for decades you already have it I'm sure.
