Pros will tell you the presentational aspect of a trick is more difficult to master than any sleight or move.

This is the most basic form of presentation, but it remains effective for those who do not have the creativity or inherent comedy to develop entertaining... | ★★★★★ $19.50 to wish list | |

AvatarRobert Walker & Jon RacherbaumerRobert Walker was a unicycling, high-school student. Looking five years younger than he was, he was a dyed-in-the-wool card guy tutored in Marlovian ways. He was also a precocious writer-creator, obsessed with false counts and packet tricks. He spent many hours "twisting the night away," taking voluminous notes, and developing new methods and approaches. His first mini-treatise dissected a marketed packet trick by Larry West ("Wild, Wild West") which he passed onto Jon Racherbaumer to publish.
