Impromptu Card Tricks
by Mago Marko

In this fantastic ebook, you'll find the truly impromptu tricks found in The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks, together with dozens of notes not found in the original. These notes add new and interesting tricks and fresh ideas for presentation and even patter in some instances. But that's not all. We have added many illustrations that help clarify the description of certain tricks. Another thing we have done is adding, in some cases, the original advertisements that were used to sell these tricks when they were put on sale way back then.

Truly impromptu means that you take a normal shuffled deck and immediately, with no preparation whatsoever, you perform miracles. A very small portion of these tricks require a piece of paper and a pencil to write a prediction, but that's it, and for almost the totality you don't need anything more than the normal and shuffled deck of cards. We have chosen the tricks that meet this criterion from both Glenn Gravatt's original Encyclopedia and Jean Hugard's later version, and we have complemented them with dozens of helpful notes, illustrations, and historical advertisements to provide you with a book full of excellent and impressive impromptu tricks that you will perform.
