First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce, With Dustwrapper

The very scarce first UK edition of this work, which was first published in the US over a decade earlier.

This is a comprehensive manual of advanced card handling and sleight-of-hand, aimed at magicians seeking to refine their technical skill and performance.

Covering a wide range of methods including false shuffles, palms, passes, controls, forces, and flourishes, it also explains the psychology of misdirection.
