How to shuffle, control and force cards, including special gimmicks
and advanced flourishes, all shown in more than 450 step-by-step
photographs. This title includes basic techniques such as the
Biddle Grip, Charlier Cut and Table Riffle Shuffle, and how to
control and force cards using techniques such as the Finger Break,
In-Jog Dribble Control and Hindu Force. Tricks for all levels of
ability and experience: self-working tricks include Hocus Pocus and
Magic Time; advanced tricks and flourishes include Card through
Handkerchief and the Card Spring. How to use special gimmicks with
cards, for example, make a card change into a different card with
the flick of a finger, or make a card rise mysteriously from its
box. Over 450 step-by-step photographs show how each trick is done,
both from the performer's and the audience's perspective, and a
useful glossary contains a list of terms associated with card
magic. Cards are internationally recognized symbols, and the scope
for creating illusions with a deck of cards is huge. They can be
made to appear, disappear, change suit, multiply, defy gravity and
a lot more besides. This book begins with an introduction to magic,
emphasizing the importance of keeping the secret and how to
practise performing. There are step-by-step instructions showing
how to perform a wide range of 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. The book is ideal for both the hobbyist and
the more serious performer.
