Magic Tricks

This is how bad Lucky at Cards is: Halfway through the instructions, I shut it off, knowing I would never perform it. The trick requires labyrinthian handling: Two cards on one pile, one on another, etc. But there’s no patter to explain why. When the magician asks the spectator why he’s doing it, the answer is, ‘We don’t know, it just works.’ It’s like Martin Gardner with memory loss. There are innumerable better card downloads here. I have bought many. Why would Penguin rip off its customers? I don’t know. But it worked on me, sadly.
