Synopsis

So you can't hold two cards in your hand without dropping them--much less handle a deck without fumbling? If the thought of appearing in front of a crowd saying the words "Pick a card, any card," scares you silly, then this book of tricks will work magic for you! Using principles, methods, and secrets subtle enough to fool anyone, even the clumsiest would-be magicians can put on a show in great style, complete with comic patter. And, many of these have never been published before! Simple, casual cuts create confusion for the spectator, and your chatter will distract them while you sneak a peek. Sometimes you'll do the dirty work behind your back (a simple flip of the pack with the thumb), as in a mind-reading trick where you pick out a spectator's "freely chosen" card. Or honour a special guest by "helping" him pick a card with his name printed right on it!
