Fancy pulling the wool over your mates’ eyes, leaving them scratching their heads in disbelief? With a few card tricks under your belt, you’ll be the life of the party (or at least the reason for some good-natured eye-rolling). This book is your ticket to becoming a card wizard—no prior experience necessary.
Seriously, nail just the first chapter and you'll be able to baffle your audience with a handful of jaw-dropping sleights of hand.
The authors, Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue, are no slouches when it comes to magic. They’ve laid out everything you need to know in a straightforward, no-nonsense way. You’ll learn shuffles, flourishes, the glide, the glimpse, false shuffles and cuts, the pass, the classic force, and a myriad of other techniques. With these skills, you’ll be able to perform over 100 mind-blowing card tricks, including gems like Thought Stealer, Gray's Spelling Trick, Do As I Do, Now You See It, Obliging Aces, Rapid Transit, Kangaroo Card, A Tipsy Trick, and so many more you’ll forget what a normal deck of cards looks like.
Each trick comes with more than 120 clear line drawings that make following along a piece of cake (seriously, even your pet goldfish could get the hang of it). This book is a fun and accessible introduction to card conjuring that will have you dazzling the crowd in no time—yes, even if you’ve previously struggled to shuffle without losing half the deck.
