great book and very informative. I'm starting at the beginning of all the tricks in this book as it takes you up a level in your cards and handling. Practice is needed on each section before you move through them. Some experienced magicians will have this knowledge but as you go through it you will find more difficult levels and tricks. It's awesome. I look forward to competently being able to do these tricks. As advised one at a time and practice before you move on. Brilliant

I was blown away with how clever the tricks in this book were! Also the sleights are described so well you will be able to pick them up instantly. After reading the 1st chapter of the book you will already have learnt so much !!! Highly recommend for beginners and even intermediates

Wonderful book I learnt from this book as a young lad, unfortunately I loaned the book and never saw it again. It’s now back… This book is a joy and has rekindled some classic moves. Thank you so much.

Some of the techniques taught in this book were very well explained and quick to pick up. Others take longer to perfect but the clear instructions make me confident that I'm on the right track. I'd recommend this to anyone starting down the road of card sleight of hand.

A must read for any aspiring magician. This will arrange the most basic principals and a few tricky little numbers. perfect material for a teacher or begining student, or even as collectable research. only a tenner and well worth digesting. Grab this book, a new set of bicycles (black tigers are well tasty) and sit down for a few days revising like mad.... "CRACKING"
