Magic Tricks

The Stack Attack book by L.R. Brooks is a great book for Card Magic. Magicians and Mentalists often use stacked decks of cards in order to perform amazing feats of card magic. A Stacked Deck is a prearranged or "stacked" deck of cards.

Two of the most popular stacked deck that Magicians and Mentalists use are the Si Stebbins stack and the Eight Kings stack. If you ever wanted to use a stacked deck, or you do use a stacked deck, then you need to purchase Stack Attack by L.R. Brooks.

Lew Brooks also teaches you an overhand false shuffle called "The False False Shuffle." False Shuffles are usually used in conjunction with stacked decks as to keep the cards in order. A False Shuffle is any shuffle that leaves the deck in the same order as it was before the shuffle.

The Stack Attack book contains nine routines, with full patter, but seven of the routines are gambling routines. You don’t have to use any extraordinary memorization techniques to use this book. It uses no memorized deck routines just stacks ranging from a few cards to the whole deck.

Also, Lew Brooks does not use any particular stack system in his Stack Attack book so you should be able to use any type of stacks with this book. I use the Si Stebbins and Eight Kings stacks and know these stacks can be used with this book. You should be able to use this book with other types of stacked decks like; the Nikola stack, the Aronson stack, the Tamariz Stack, and the Osterlind Stacked deck (from Richard Osterlind's "Breakthrough Card System").

The Bughouse Poker effect is by its self worth the price of the book and is one of the highlights of Stack Attack. This is a great purchase if you are into Card Magic and I recommend that you purchase this now from Penguin Magic now.
