Comments: Note the printed edition uses B&W photographs, while the ebooks are full color. The original sequel to Robert's "I Hate Card Tricks" book was "I Still Hate Card Tricks", but that included some effects that didn't match the "stage illusion in miniature" theme, so he split that book up into this volume (with some additional effects) and another book, Sleightly Wacked, also with additional effects. These are topological card effects, designed to mimick famous stage illusions.
