This is my first book purchase from Penguin. I found it a little hard to follow at first, but it's
just getting used to learning from a book, and getting used to the 1940's language that it's written
in. Still, there are a lot of good things about this book. There is TONS of material in this book;
it's incredible. Although the scope of the material is vast, it fails to detail such sleights as the
Elmsley Count. There are some great tricks in it too. The Expert part of it Im not so sure about.
It ranges from all skill levels. Its so dense, you're bound to find something you can use. It
details not only technique with a regular deck of cards, but also double-faced cards, and the
stranger card (a card with a back pattern different from the rest of the pack). Be ready to go
through it with a fine-tooth comb. All in all a great collection. If you like books get it. If you
want to increase your repertoire get it.
If you do end up purchasing it, please contribute
to the forum. I need help. Thanks.
Good Stuff
