Comments: From the first annual (1956): "Each, year in our gathering together of material for the Yearbook, we find many card tricks are submitted - far more than we can use in the Yearbook if we are to keep it the book of wide variety it has always been. It occurred to us that our readers might enjoy an all-card annual as well as the regular Yearbook, and we hereby begin such a series." This was combined with the 57 Annual and another book into Card Tricks for Cardicians in 1972.
