 Good Learners Book May 3, 2007
Whitney (Italy)
Ordered this book as a gift for my husband. He's new to card tricks. While he didn't find the entire book useful, he did find a lot of interesting/entertaining tricks to work on.
Overall 4 stars because it helped him learn some new tricks but didn't keep him occupied for more than 2 weeks :).
 A great book for ideas March 30, 2007
Tom Ewall (Lawrence, KS United States)
Some people cook by recipe, others "by ear," so to speak. I do magic by ear. That is, I look for ideas, and then usually tweak things to fit what I think makes sense.
This is a tremendous book for ideas! Lots and lots and lots of them.
So for a "give me an idea I can run with" person, I think this book is just great. For someone looking more for a step-by-step recipe, this probably isn't the book for you.
 Good start February 19, 2007

The title of the book gives a good idea of what is in store. Primarily an information source of magic card tricks.
Light on useable information so far as performing is concerned, yet good for the historian.
Then again, most magicians are weak performers and strong on history, so this book will be a treat.
Very Complete Book of Card Tricks November 14, 2004

This book is great in its completeness and organization. It walks you through most of the card tricks. This book is not geared toward beginners or younger audiences. If you are a visual learner this book is not for you. There are very few pictures and diagrams so you will have to use your imagination at times to visualize what the trick is supposed to look like based on the descriptions.
Card Tricks book is a great reference January 22, 2004

The cardtricks book is well written and PACKED with card tricks - more than you could deal with in a lifetime. Hugard has written many books on the subject and you can't go wrong. Another online resource I found and loved is http://www.ellusionist.com - amazing site with card trick movies and a bunch of cool stuff.
