Add to your arsenal of magic and card sharper's knowledge with this hard-to-find manuscript from a recognized master of deception. Daub or "shade work" is a special treatment that the card cheat adds to one or more cards during play. It's most always done when playing with someone else's deck.
Savvy magicians and card workers decided that card cheats shouldn't be the only ones to make use of this technique. Thus, Irv Weiner devoted this booklet to the topic.
The book gives 12 practical methods of securing daub in a natural manner. Five suggestions for applying the daub are given, as well as an additional five in which the spectator does the work for you. Seven other tips about daub are offered in conclusion.
New to this revised edition are several additions by editor T. A. Whitney that make this work even more complete.
