Excellent work filled with strong card routines. Explanations are detailed and supported by photo illustrations.
From the preface by Ned Rutdlege:
Jim and I have complementary minds. An idea from one of us sets up echoes in the brain of the other. Jim has a fantastic grasp of magical literature, and a high intelligence that puts his knowledge to work. The methods he comes up with are often unusual and always interesting. For me, they start wheels turning. I take the method, or nucleus of method, and begin re-shaping it for entertainment value...then I lay it in the laps of a live audience.
This book is about cards ... another we've written is about mind-reading. You won't have to share the work that went into them. But we hope you'll share the pleasure.
