I actually prefer this book to the first one. If you have any doubt about the effects in this book just learn the very first trick. I've used it for years and it just knocks people off their feet. Now, I do a lot of sleight of hand magic but a trick doesn't have to be difficult to be good. It's the crowd response that counts.Like most of these Dover magic books, there are some real stinkers in there. But if you pick and choose you can find some real gems.This is an excelent book for a young magician just starting out. It's a good choice overall.
This is another really fine book of material for the average magician. Much is from 'Pallbeares Review', a magazine published by the author, and now considered one of the best sources for excellent material. Many of the effects in this book are mathematical, and will fool most people,including magicians. The nice part is that you don't have to understand the mathematics, or why it works, to be able to do it. All that is required is attention to detail and good audience management. For that reason, the magician-to-be should be at least 12 years old, although some of the tricks could be done by someone who is younger.
All of Karl Fulves books are good for beginning magicians. When you read the effects they seem very simplistic, but with good presentations everything is very usable material. As a professional magician I am often asked where to start learning effects and this would be a good place.Santiago(...)
This book provides some great trick ideas. As with any magic book, it's easier to learn an affect and deliver it from watching a video as opposed to taking it from the printed page. However, there are enough nuggets in this book to make it worthwhile! I would recommend it for anyone looking to add to their list of self-working card tricks!
Self-working card tricks have a bad reputation. That said.. some of greatest tricks in all of magic are self-working. It's not the trick, it's how you present the trick. The great thing about self working effects is the ability of the performer to perform the trick without having to worry about 'sleights'. If the patter is right, the trick will most likely be a success. Folks who write that they only got 'two or three' usable effects out of the book should consider themselves fortunate. If a magician can add that many effects to his repertoire for less than ten bucks... hallelujah..In my opinion, this is a better book than the first self-working card trick book. There is a nice variety of effects - a little something for everyone. Look for a couple of gems that you can add to your performance or use to impress your family and friends. You can't go wrong with anything by Mr. Fulves.
