So, here’s the deal: this is David Solomon's debut book and it’s packed with over forty of his brilliant card routines, alongside a treasure trove of techniques that you can sprinkle onto your other card tricks (because why not?). It’s a goldmine of fresh ideas and unique handlings that’ll have you saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
David’s not just any magician; he’s a veteran of Chicago's Magic Round Table, where he spent countless hours under the tutelage of the legendary Edward Marlo. Those late-night brainstorming sessions birthed many of the routines you’ll find in these pages (imagine the magic gossip!).
And let’s not forget Eugene Burger’s insightful contributions — he’s not just a pretty face; his interviews with David dive deep into the magical scene of Chicago and the delightful dramas that unfolded (cue the soap opera music).
The routines range from minimal to advanced skill levels, but most are comfortably nestled in the intermediate zone. David prefers clever, clean methods with natural handlings (the kind that make you look like a genius). He’s got a knack for trimming the fat off tricks, leaving behind only the good stuff that fools your audience. Oh, and as a cherry on top, you’ll get exclusive access to an online video where David struts his stuff with ten of his favourite routines from the book.

"In this book, you will discover how David's commitment to magical thinking, to taking things apart and putting them back together in new and different ways, has generated some very wonderful card magic." - Eugene Burger
