"THE ROYAL ROAD TO CARD MAGIC"
*****************
Althoughoriginally published some 40 years ago, its 302 (including comprehensive Index)pages cover so very, very much as regards the basic handling of playing cards& their uses in Magical Presentations. Sure, moves such as the AscanioSpread & the ElmsleyCount hadn't yet been invented(!) ... but earlier& surely the 'teethcutting' moves/sleights/subtleties/...effects etc such as 'Do As I Do', theClassic Force, the CharlierCut, the Waterfall Shuffle, the Hindu Shuffle, the Natural Jog .... are allhere. Read, practice & amaze 'emall!
This ThirdImpression, published by Faber and Faber, is still in very good condition & is still complete with its originalillustrated dust jacket (althoughsadly, the latter is torn -- as shown in one of theabove photographs. A Classic? ...this book sure is!!
