| Synopsis: |
Card tricks are popular because cards are internationally recognized symbols. Over the centuries magicians from the East shared their ideas with magicians in the West, resulting in a universal familiarity with cards. Perhaps this explains why there are more card tricks published than any other type of magic. The scope for creating illusions with a deck of cards is huge. As you will learn in the following pages, they can be made to appear, disappear, change colour, multiply, defy gravity and a lot more besides. The book begins with an introduction to magic, emphasizing the importance of keeping the secret and how to practise performing. The main section of the book consists of step-by-step instructions showing how to perform card tricks, including basic techniques, how to shuffle, control and force cards, self-working card tricks, card tricks requiring skill, special gimmicks and advanced flourishes. Showing both the performer's and the audience's perspectives, the book is ideal for the hobbyist who wants to entertain friends and family, and the more serious performer who wants to become a professional magician. |
