DESCRIPTION:
Amateurs can use them to get a start in magic and to feel, at once, the rewards of giving a professional performance. What is a self-working card trick? A trick that does not depend upon legerdemain or special abilities on the part of the magician, but a trick that works automatically because of the mathematics inherent in the card deck itself. Long practice and supernormal dexterity are not needed to perform these tricks, yet they are often among the most entertaining and most spectacular of all card tricks.Some of these sure-fire tricks are simple, a good place to begin. Almost all of these tricks can be worked informally, with a borrowed deck of cards. Some also adapt to stage presentation.Individual tricks in this book have sold for more than the price of the entire book. Author Karl Fulves is one of the best-known writers and editors in the field of magic.. Advanced and professional magicians will find tricks to add to their acts or informal routines. Others were specially adapted from professional routines and are here presented for the first time for amateurs
The card magicians library starts here! Johnnyuma Having both performed and taught card magic, this book is a must! For the beginner, this is a no nonsense teaching aid that any serious student will use. Later, as the magician learns advanced techniques, one can revisit these effects and make them seem impossible. This is the 1st book that I recommend to all serious budding card magicians. If you only learn a couple of tricks, this inexpensive book will be well worth its cost. Highly recommended!J.. "Well worth the money" according to mosinu. So far seems well written and fairly easy to follow. I got the ebook version on my kindle and it works great and creates a nice conversation starter when I am waiting for something and working on different card tricks. I would recommend it for beginners, but try to read/skim through it once before you start trying the tricks. Then get good with each trick before you move to the next; which might require a few tries, but you will enjoy it a lot more and find yourself picking up the tricks faster as you move along. I would also recommend doing like I have b. "Too complicated" according to FAYE E GODFREY. Too complicated for a 10 year old child
