Synopsis

Master the art of card conjuring with clear, practical guidance you can use at home or on stage.

This practical guide covers the essentials of sleight of hand with playing cards, showing how careful practice, showmanship, and a few reliable techniques create convincing magic.

  • Foundational sleights and core tricks, including the Pass and methods for forcing a card.

  • Strategies for naming cards in a shuffled pack, and other deceptively simple effects that pay off big.

  • Guidance on pacing, audience engagement, and mixing sleight of hand with mechanical or scientific elements.

  • Practice plans and tips to progress from beginner to a confident, entertaining performer.



Ideal for readers who want a solid, hands-on introduction to card magic and practical tricks that can be learned and performed with ordinary cards.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Tricks with cards are ever popular, and are within the reach of every one who cares to devote a little time to the study of sleight of hand.

Who has not watched in speechless wonderment, and longed to emulate the nimble-fingered professor Is he takes the cards in his hand and causes them to pass thence, invisibly, along his sleeve and finally alight on his white shirt front; or as he throws a card some twenty feet in the air, at an angle of 45 degrees, and causes it to return to his hand, which, during the flight of the card, has seized a pair of scissors with which the card is now severed in twain?
