Magic Tricks

Dan and Dave's first book reveals over a dozen conceptual palming techniques designed to inspire new ways of thinking about the age-old practice of holding out. Highlights include a method for replacing a bottom palmed card to the top of the deck, a switch loading a palmed card beneath the top card in the action of turning it over, a variation of the Miller Cascade Control that allows for the card to be palmed and a streamlined approach for executing the Diagonal Palm Shift from a peek. Limited availability. Includes a commemorative deck of playing cards.

Both volumes are included. That's over 600 pages covering well over 200 effects with playing cards.

Welcome to Dai Vernon's legendary annotations for The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase.

It is as close as you will ever get to a personal session with The Professor.
