DESCRIPTION
Over 60 brilliant effects by such legendary cardmen as Dai Vernon, Dr. Jacob Daley, Eddie Clever, Audley Walsh, Henry Christ, Charles Jordan, John Scarne, Leo Horowitz, Walter Gibson, Orville Meyer, Ted Annemann and others. Effects range from impromptu card effects to those that deploy such unsuspected allies as...shorts, double faced, stranger, duplicates and otherwise easily made and ingeniously faked cards. These, interwoven with Annemann, subtleties and misdirection, provide the means for creating miracles otherwise unobtainable. Regardless of whether you are seeking card tricks for close-up or stage presentation, you’ll find a full array here. And included for good measure are two complete routines, conceived and used by Ted Annemann, which alone are worth many times the price of this entire volume. Completely re-typeset from the original Max Holden edition, 107 big 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 pages, illustrated by Nelson Hahne.
