Comments: The first in a three volume set of card magic reprinted from a variety of Abbott's card effects and books of the past. The volume includes Chapter 1 Unique Card Magic, and Chapter 2 Tricks With Special Cards. The three volumes were later combined in 1989 into a single volume, which is still available from Abbott's Magic.
