I’ve had to make some difficult decisions in my life (and in card magic, with which I’ve been deeply involved for about 84 years at this writing) and this became one of the most difficult. That is – selecting the items/concepts/ideas to include in this book.

After over eight decades of devising, teaching, writing, and performing card magic all over the world, for laymen and for magicians, I’ve chosen my top 30 personal favorite and most effective routines and effects to include here. (Plus a bonus and a new idea or two.)

A couple of knowledgeable magician friends read the manuscript and each exclaimed “Every item in this book is worth more than the retail cost of the book!!”

I assume – strike that … I hope – you will agree. This is a go-to book – a SEARCH SAVER.
