Advantage Card Playing and Draw PokerF. R. Ritter... deals with the mathematical odds of draw poker.
Some people believe that F. R. Ritter might be S. W. Erdnase, the unknown author of Expert at the Card Table, which was published three years earlier than this book in 1902. Another historically interesting fact is that this is likely the book Dai Vernon "mistook" for Expert at the Card Table when his father brought it home from work to show him as a young boy.

"Antonio breaks new ground in close-up magic. What a fabulous idea." - Arturo de Ascanio
"In my lifetime, I've seen some of the greatest "CUPS N BALL" routines performed by Dai Vernon, Mike Ammar, John Thompson, Charlie Miller, Johnny Paul and the many others with brilliant routines and moves & sleights.

Besides the twenty titled effects, there are numerous variations, and a few surprises. Almost all the material is sleightless, the few exceptions involving nothing more than a Jog Shuffle, a Double Undercut, or a Slip Cut. Conticello's modern treatment of Vernon's Cutting the Aces includes a full description of the Ossip Slip Cut.
This installment includes thoughts on presentation, a brief biography of the author, and a list of works consulted.

Marlo: Low-Down and CozyJon Racherbaumer... Master Effects, is the Rashomon Principle. Two spectators are forced to choose the same card due to a clever placement idea. 1 This great semi-automatic trick took to heart Al Baker's admonishment that "magicians stop thinking too soon."
The Twisting craze has mercifully abated, but Vernon's "Twisting the Aces" is still performed. Marlo's Upside-Down Syndrome is based on a "buried" Larry West trick and is an example of getting maximum effect using only a few cards.

It is easy to sing the praises for Slydini. He was one of the most influential close-up magicians of recent history. Probably nobody sufficiently knowledgeable in magic will dispute this. The only other names which I would mention in the same breath are Dai Vernon, Edward Marlo and Arturo Ascanio. (I am excluding any living masters from this list or magicians far into the past.) Slydini had this incredible smooth style and lovable personality. He also created his very unique method of misdirection, which Karl Fulves has tried to capture in this volume.... | ★★★★★ $30 to wish listPDF |
