 A Cheater's Book January 18, 2007
Elinor Dashwood (England)

I bought this book as a gift for my brother, expecting him to learn a few showy tricks to impress me with. However, he told me later that basically the whole book was about cheating. He wasn't really interested by that, and the book is still sitting on a shelf at my house. I wish I'd been better informed about what kind of tricks were in the book.
 Excellent techniques and written very well August 21, 2006

I am fairly new to card magic / artifice / subterfuge and this book was great. I find his way of explaining hand positions superior to that of Hugard and Braue's material. I also enjoy the way he writes far more... The introduction alone is worth the price. The techniques are great because one doesn't have to rely on diversion, most of the sleights can be pulled off with the spectator's eyes directly on the pack.
A Must Have for Magicians October 27, 2005

Some book are just required. As a professional magician this book is absolutely a must have in my collection. The material is sometimes difficult to understand, but if you are truly serious about it, then you will get through it and the rewards for your performance skills are practically endless.

The tips and strategies in this book were extremely helpful. Now whenever I play with my friends or illegal poker rooms, I always win! Just don't try any of these strategies at the Bellagio.

The book helped me in understanding the basic moves and other subtleties in card manip... Knowing the purpose of each of the moves is worth it.
