One thing that isn't made clear in the description is that these are all packet tricks. This may or
may not appeal to you. I'm not a huge fan of these sorts of tricks, because they all seem similar
to me... take a few cards, do some sleights and false displays and false counts, convince the
spectator they saw something, and then show them something completely different.
Reading one effect after another like this starts to feel very repetitive, but that's just personal bias. Other people might love this stuff, since there are some well-developed routines in here. One legit complaint is that none of the required sleights are explained. That's ok, if the book is meant for intermediate to advanced card handlers; however, this should be made clear to potential buyers. There is a sleight index in the back of the book, but I'm not sure how that's helpful when it just points you to effects where the sleight is used, but not described. Did this review help you?
