Steve was a professional magician from Scotland, one of the few at the time he was around. That made
me read his book with the expectation of reading great practical card magic and boy it didn't
disappoint. It's all cards, a lot of it is great and direct to the point with no BS. Like in any
card book there are things you won't use either because you don't like the trick themselves (I
personally distaste Hofsinzer's aces for example), or can be too technical requiring palming. The
negative is that its all cards. The positive is its 52 card effects, which is a great value. Highly
recommended.
