Comments (from Ryan Matney): Are you jonesing for some new card magic? ‘Card Jones’ contains 20 new effects with cards that are high on subtlety and low on skill. Also included, as a bonus 21st trick, is a description of the marketed effect ‘The Demolished Deck.’ This effect was a limited release made available to only a few and highly praised by many customers. Now you can read the full details on how to make this reputation making routine. Many of the effects in ‘Card Jones’ are impromptu. All regular cards, No gaffs.

Contents (numbers are not page numbers):
