The Dai Vernon Book of MagicLewis Ganson & Dai VernonI was lucky that I stumbled across this book very early on in my magic development.

Leipzig was a gentelman of magic who could... | ★★★★★ $14.90 to wish list | |

Aces in Deception or "How Right You Are"Lewis GansonAn easy and effective multiphase routine with a Svengali deck. A spectator is correct continually in finding a previously selected card which the performer underlines with the punch line "How Right You Are." From the introduction:
Here is one of those card routines in which the happenings are inexplicable to the uninitiated. The handling of the cards is so natural and each move is performed so deliberately, that trickery appears out of the question, yet a series of effects take place which really are uncanny.
To begin with, I will confess that a Svengali pack is used throughout and... | $10 to wish list | |
Card Magic by ManipulationLewis GansonExcerpt from the introduction: By much trial and error, made during odd hours over several years, a system for producing fans of cards has been built up gradually—not based on an entirely new principle but consisting of a sequence of moves in which many of the good points of other methods have been gathered together whilst faults have been avoided. A complete description of my card routine, in which the continuous production of fans of cards forms part, will be given in this book, but before commencing there are certain aspects of the sleight usually known as the “back and front”... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list |
