Card Tricks: The Royal Road to Card Magic Hardcover – October 11, 2016

A classic. My first card magic book in the 1950s

Got this as a gift for my partner‘s dad because he has started playing with card tricks and I flipped through some of the pages and it’s the real deal. Fresh hardcover crispy well written book. It’s got all sorts of different types of slide of hand card tricks and it’s really cool. I can’t wait to gift this!!

Bit of a dull read but nonetheless teaches you basics of card tricks and such

I am still in the beginning section of this fascinating book but I have already learned a number of important things in regards to card magic and how to properly hold and handle the cards and why it is done that way. I was recommended this book from every respectable magician on YouTube and the internet in general. This book is an absolute classic and must have for any aspiring card magician.

It should be noted that this is simply an updated (and very nicely done hardcopy) version of The Royal Road to Card Magic - just because it has the “Card Tricks:” added to its title, it is not an ‘offshoot’ of the original. It is a new and improved version, with better and clearer diagrams/images (I compared it to another copy I have of The Royal Road to Card Magic). Oddly enough this new, improved and hardcopy version is cheaper than the older paperback version! So I would definitely purchase this book without hesitation. It is chock full of fundamental essentials for the budding cardician/magician. A must-have - pick this up now!

I thought I ordered a paperback but when it arrived was pleasantly surprised to see it was a hardcover

There are some simple tricks and harder ones. Just remember to practice, practice, practice.

Bought as a gift for the youngling; he seems to like it well enough. Seems well written and has good instructions. Good for beginners.
