This is it. There is a reason it has been in print since 1902. Yes, it does talk about cheating at cards but the same moves are the basic staples of card magic. Don't think this is an introductory textbook though. It's graduate level work. (For an intro level book for a good price, go get Royal Road to Card Magic by Hugard and Braue.) Pay close attention to every single word, and study the somewhat difficult to understand drawings.Take a few years to digest and practice. And, if you are serious, go find yourself a good teacher.
This edition contains the classic, original text, improved with larger pictures, while maintaining the first edition's pagebreaks. Add to this a comprehensive index, and what's not to love? An indispensable reference for any card worker, and as valuable today as ever!
Are you interested in cards in any way? Well then you might be interested to know that you are required, by law, to own this book. Get it before the Prestidigitation Police come knocking at your door.
Erdnase's book is simply the bible for deception with cards, both in gambling and magic. Written in 1902, it is enjoyable to read and worthy of study. This edition, which I downloaded to a kindle fire, makes the material convenient and portable.
This is a must read for cardicians.(people that do card tricks or works with cards). This is the bible for card workers. This book comes complete with the mystery of who even wrote it. This is not for the novice or self working card magician. The sleights will require practice to use and understand the principles.
Great book with lots of info. You will need a lot of serious concentration over time to master the techniques described within this classic.I just got through reading "The Magician and the Cardsharp: The Search for America's Greatest Sleight-of-Hand Artist" and would highly recommend it to help you with SWE's book. It's a great historical treatise about Dai Vernon's search for the "center dealer"; something not discussed in the SWE book. Probably because it was thought to be impossible to accomplish.
Whether you're a magician or gambler, this book is a must read. I read it in my teens, and have re-read it many times since. Having it as a handy electronic version, complete with drawings, is indispensible
This is a somewhat hard read for many ( if not most ) who venture through its pages, but when you get it... You really have something. It is one of those books you almost have to have some knowledge of to become a member of "the magic world" where card magic is concerned. There are many card magic books that are easier reads, more fun, more "up to date" but this was one I have seen referenced so many times I'm so many ways by so many great card men that " I Had To " and I am glad I did.
