A COMPLETE COURSE IN CARD MAGIC If you're genuinely keen on diving into the world of card magic, you won’t find a better starting point than The Royal Road to Card Magic with R. Paul Wilson.
Since its debut, The Royal Road to Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue has been hailed as the most thorough course ever penned on sleight of hand with playing cards. It covers everything from the Overhand Shuffle to the elusive Pass and Palm (which sounds fancy, doesn’t it?).
Every chapter introduces a new sleight, followed by a handful of tricks that incorporate what you've just learnt—tricks that, by the way, include some of the most iconic card effects known to humankind.
Many of today’s top magicians cut their teeth on Hugard and Braue’s classic tome, including the card wizard himself, R. Paul Wilson. In these downloads, Paul walks you down this Royal Road, showcasing the sleights and effects from the book, mixed with some of his own killer insights. He takes you through each chapter with easy-to-follow instructions and multiple camera angles (because who wants to miss a single detail?). Plus, he performs most tricks in front of a casual audience, so you get to see the magic unfold before you attempt it.
This download series is a comprehensive journey into card magic that builds upon and refreshes the material in The Royal Road to Card Magic, introducing new effects, enhanced methods, and nuggets of wisdom from some of the best in the biz. Stick with this course from start to finish, mastering each sleight before moving on, and you’ll soon be impressing your mates with your card skills (or at least making them laugh).
R. Paul Wilson teaching the Royal Road is frankly one of the most entertaining ways to learn card magic. The production values? Absolutely top-notch! This is the best download course on card magic you’ll find today! -Bill Malone
