Now this is not say that this is a bad book, quite the contrary, but it is not really for the beginner. I managed to get through the first couple of chapters before getting lost underneath a myriad of forces, dovetails, glides, and flourishes. After reading Royal Road though, i managed to understand a lot more of the book and some of the more advanced tricks i could think through, if not work through.

This is by no means a book for the advanced magician but, beginners beware, a little knowledge of magic will be needed before handling this.

this book is verey good infact it is great!! it has a wide range of slights and tricks and maney arm spreads. this is a must for any magican (card, coin, ball, etc)

This book will take u from advanced to a pro who look's and feels confedent in the trick that they peform. And best of all when the tricks are don corectley they will knock your audienc dead and they will not see it coming.


Excellent book! Might consider a revision...   December 23, 1998

This is an excellent collection of card sleights and a few tricks. My only complaint is that some of its methods require every ounce of your attention to comprehend them. Not real clear in some areas but other than that it is excellent!
