I bought this book elsewhere cause it's out of stock now. It's my understanding that the book is out of print. I had to do some searching, but I was able to track one down. If I were you, I'd track one down before they it becomes completely unavailable. With all that being said, the book is superb. It is a book of easy-to-do, but very effective card effects. I read a lot of positive reviews about Mr. Trost's material, and that's what persuaded me to track this book down. The book is great. It is well organized into chapters. He has tricks with regular cards, standard gaffs, ESP cards, etc... Heavy sleight-of-hand is okay, but it's nice to have a book in your hands that you know, no matter where you turn, you'll have an effect that you can pull off. I'm very excited about this book. Though you won't find the book here, Penguin still has his classic book THE CARD MAGIC OF NICK TROST, plus the other two SUBTLE CARD CREATIONS volumes. I plan on getting these real soon before they become too hard to come by also. These are must-haves for all card workers.
