Now with this big ebook by Ed Marlo, the card trick is changed into a miracle...or a whole series of miracles! Plus an innovation called Marlo's secret Gimmick, which carries you even farther into the world of Acrobatic Cards. Contents include: six methods for handling the gaffed card, three methods for placing the selection, fifteen effects with Acrobatic Cards, Secret Gimmick, with ten effects, and a dozen inspired tricks including some by Jon Racherbaumer. Fully illustrated by Nelson Hahne. You will need a packet of Acrobatic Cards.
