The Effect This booklet is the perfect primer for budding card magicians. Since its first printing in 1976, hundreds of thousands of copies have been sold - and keep selling, year after year. A new full-color cover has brought this classic publication up to date.
Inside are tried and tested tricks that can be performed with any deck of cards - and with little sleight of hand or special ability. These are tricks that can literally be mastered in minutes!
FREE BONUS: When you purchase this product from Penguin you'll
gain access to a special private discussion forum exclusively for magicians who perform this effect. This is a free feature that can be
very helpful in mastering your new magic. Please visit the Penguins
Only section for more information.
I don't really need to say much about this book, because if you are always performing with a trick deckof cards, then you need this book because you will transition over from having to carry many decks with you to only having to carry one and still be ablt to produce many great effects, and the spectator can look and examine the deck.

I received this book in less than a week...thumbs up to Penguin! This book teaches a few basic principals (followed by about 100 tricks) important for those who just started or are GOING TO start card magic. This book is a MUST before learning sleight-of-hand card tricks!

This book is good for beginners, but not for people who can already do basic manuvers. This book seems like a few tricks, and then they are repeated in a slightly different way. Example: Card from wallet/card from pocket. Overall, I thought this book was pretty good. Everything is easy to do and explained well. Good, if you're a beginner and not so much if you have other books and are more advanced (like me). I still enjoy it though. For the price, I say go for it.

This book is okay. It has a few good tricks in the booklet including the one Oz did in the demo. And it didn't really teach me a lot more that I already didn't know but it was still worth it for the few tricks that I learned.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
