Card Tricks: The Royal Road to Card Magic

Well written, clearly written and clearly presented. I have found the instruction / tuition contained within its pages, invaluable. It is an acclaimed work by accomplished magicians.

Good place to start with some great tricks once you have learnt each move

Bought as gift. Was loved by the person who received it although a little in depth for her at 1e

Outstanding easy to read and follow book on card magic showing how to perform astonishing tricks using a standard deck of cards and nothing more than sleight of had. Despite its age, this remains the standard book on card magic for any aspiring magician. It should be noted that this is not a book for young children. The tricks in this book require careful practice and relatively large hands. Younger magicians will want to start with trick decks and move onto this book when they are hooked on performing magic and want to learn the real art of card magic.

Lots of good information. Clearly presented. Teaches you how to manipulate cards. This requires practice. A deck of cards should become your constant companion if you really want to learn. No short cuts but the results are great.

Not bad but tricks are very difficult .only buy if u have alot of time on your hands

Absaloute standard for any budding magician, buy read digest learn it's a classic. Lovely condition no complaints.

Wow I've learnt the whole book, I'm now a professional magician, well that's what have the bad magicians on the World Wide Web say.

This book was a gift for my teenage grandson and he loved it. I can't wait to see the magic tricks that he will learn.

Très beau livre avec une intro ajoutée à l'originale, après sa reedition, détaillant les objectif de ce livre. Anglais très correct, peut être un peu compliqué des fois mais ça reste globalement très compréhensible. Pas besoin d'être familier avec les termes anglophones des "card tricks"

the classic starting point for card magic. The writing style may feel a bit dated at points, as are some tricks, but I feel I am learning fast

Hay que tener en cuenta que el libro fue escrito hace ya tiempo, por lo que algunos juegos pueden parecer algo antiguos, pero son perfectamente adaptables a los manejos actuales. Contiene clásicos con los que merece la pena experimentar, y los manejos básicos con la baraja (algunos nivel medio). Casi 300 páginas de contenido que sin duda te hará experimentar. Recomendable para magos que se estén iniciando (por todo), o para algo más avanzados para que conozcan juegos del momento (aunque técnicamente puede que no les aporte mucho). Por supuesto, el libro está en inglés. Muy recomendable, por este precio tener el libro con el contenido original que puede inspirarte para añadir buenos juegos a tus rutinas/shows :D

It's something that teaches you all the basics of card magic
