Comments (Zigby7): Seven chapters of high quality card magic by top card magicians. Nineteen contributors have added their effects to this book. Emphasis is upon complete tricks with cards as opposed to sleights and bits of information. Some sleights are described, but over 75 percent of the effects are complete tricks. There a even a few self-working tricks included. Caveat: the majority of the tricks require some skill.
