Overview
This is a beginner's card magic lesson that is an amazing tool for anyone that wants to learn it all in one place. An experienced magician will have no use for this book. A beginner, who wants the keys to the kingdom will get no better bang for their $10 bucks than Anthony Norman's Basic Card Technique.The book contains 77 pages, originally published in the 1960's and is an oversized paperback book from the old world. It read like its old-school and in fact that adds a bit of charm to the dozens of lessons contained in this very inexpensive book.
Some of the moves may require some additional context for beginners, but this will keep a motivated student busy for a long time.
