In this rare manuscript, the fertile mind of "Hen" Fetsch - with some editorial help from California publisher Lloyd E. Jones - reveals several of his favorite effects, betchas, tips and gags with miniature cards.
"Hen" also tips the way he prepares himself to be able to perform these effects at a moment's notice -- even with a borrowed deck. No difficult sleights are required. All moves and setup are well-explained and illustrated.

★★★★★ Date Added: Thursday 30 January, 2025This updated edition of “Miniature Card Magic,” by “Hen” Fetsch from 1943 contains a short selection of novelty effects with these cards.
It also contains suggested forces and false cuts that can be used with miniature cards.
It even includes a few printable miniature cards if you don't currently own any.
I do wish there were a few more tricks included.
