Magic Tricks

The illustration and pictures in the Fred Robinson book are phenomenal. I wish every magic book was illustrated with the detail of hand positions such as the ones in this book. Everything is easy to read and the lines drawn are well defined. This makes it easy to figure out where to place each finger on the deck. Although the material is easy to read, that doesn't mean it's not challenging from a technical standpoint. Some of the topics include Robinson's work on false deals, the pass, palming, faro shuffles, color changes, and more. I didn't care much for the stand up material and coin magic at the end of the book, but the other 80% of the book that's focused on card material is incredible.
