This is mostly an ebook on card magic but it also has a few effects with coins, dollar bills and cigarettes. By far the best routine in the ebook is the "Ten Card Poker Deal". It is a hugely entertaining, dynamic routine in which ten cards culled from the deck are dealt into two poker hands in a multitude of ways, but somehow, the magician's hand always ends up winning. The effect is virtually self-working and Harry's routining turns it into a real reputation maker.
From the Foreword:
Of course, I can't make an entertainer out of you. I can include effects and routines in my books with which I know I can interest and entertain most any kind of audience. They're effects which I feel have the interest and entertainment value 'built in.'
