The reader is introduced to the mysteries of card magic gradually. Each chapter describes clearly a move cartomagica different followed by a selection of games based on the principle explained in that chapter. The volume contains 76 card games complete, each of which has been carefully selected and is shown as the amateur game simply run a "dull", while those traveling along the road to card magic in the end prove quite competent to present a brilliant "tour de force".
This book is an excellent introduction to card magic that every newcomer should read; the chapter on the interesting and important subject of "giving a plot" to games deserves careful study by every performer who is eager to improve the entertainment value of their number.
