Great book Report this review

Well, as the first reviewing this book, I must say that it is one of the best books I own on card magic. Especially with older books, the instruction is usually hit and miss, with vague illustrations and descriptions. This book, however, has clear illustrations of the key positions needed to understand the sleights, and goes through every move step by step.

As for the content, while the tricks themselves are pretty good, none of them are spectacular. (One of my favorites is one where you take 5 blue cards and 1 red card and change them into 5 red cards and 1 blue card and is virtually self working). The real reason this book is great in my opinion are the tons of great moves it teaches you. You can learn tons of steals, controls, and my personal favorite move that I now use regularly, the turnover pass.

Overall, if you want to improve the mechanics of ALL your tricks, buy this book
