Encyclopedia of Card Tricks (Dover Magic Books) Kindle Edition

I give this one five stars for the sheer wealth of knowledge it contains! I love how there are more tricks in it than I can find almost anywhere, and the descriptions of how to do the tricks are very straightforward. Some have said it's lack of pictures makes it difficult to learn from, but I didn't find it a problem given the simplicity and in-depth style of the wording. You can pick up a deck and perform some of these very quickly, while others you will have to work a few days on. Regardless, I believe this to be an indispensable gem of a card trick book and will not part with mine...

My son enjoyed the content of this book

More dense than the beginner's books out there, but highly detailed and comprehensive. An excellent overview of the arsenal of sleights every magician should master.

A+

This would be a bible of card tricks. Already have performed several. Even has gave me some ideas for more tricks. Explains how to make some gaff decks, which is good if you have them and want to maintain them.

I purchased this for a 10 year old who loves magic but found we have to read the tricks ourselves then teach him to do them. This book is loaded with tricks!

Lots and lots of old school card tricks. Some good stuff and some not. Some that have potential but the patter and presentation around the methods need to be altered and updated.

This is a classic book, that is incredibly valuable. However I have found several errors in descriptions, leaving the reader to figure out what the correction should be. This is particularly a problem in complex tricks! If you are patient (which I would recommend for the complex tricks) then you can figure them out, but it is very frustrating when the book is wrong. Some of the tricks are slightly outdated, that said there are countless tricks in here, some are real gems. A classic, but beware of Kindle edition.

great book

Avevo questo libro in formato elettronico, ma l' edizione cartacea è molto piú comoda. Ci trovate di tutto di piú, dagli effetti selfworking a quelli che richiedono mazzi speciali o audace manualitá.

Is has a great deal of tricks. The key point is to keep practicing. Amazing

The best book of card magic I've ever gotten! A must have for any card magic enthusiasts young and old!
