Teaches the skills so well that a true beginner will quickly seem experienced I love it because it Harry describes the techniques that worked best for him. It's geared toward beginners, so the methods he chooses to teach are simple enough for total beginners (like me) to learn to do well. The card tricks are all done with a normal deck, no modifications needed and no trick decks. You'll learn to control card position to make the tricks work, as well as how to perform the tricks and what to say to direct the audience's attention where you want it - or from where you don't want it.I did, very occasionally, find it difficult to follow along with what he d. Great Magic Book for Intermediate and Better Student! Lorayne Rocks! Tom Smith A notch or two above beginner's books. Lorayne writes in his easy to understand style, just like in his card magic books that are primarily published for the magic profession. This edition is at a great price as original copies are selling for $80+! Contains effects with cards, coins, mind reading, magic squares (WOW!), and other items that you could find in your pockets. If you like his style and are interested in more advanced work try Deck-sterity, Personal Secrets, and others. Truly a gifted teacher of magic!. A.D. Adams, Jr. said Five Stars. Outstanding book!
