Comment (DrDanny): Produced by Louis Falanga, photos by Dr. Robert Balkan. Very similar to the "Card Finesse" titles -- variations, fix-ups, bits of finesse, etc. Well researched, with references to the original versions and variants being "fixed." From the Foreword: "Cardmen meddle with methods. They examine, analyze, reduce, modify, extend, reconstruct, vary and otherwise fiddle with methods by other cardmen. It's an inherent, irresistible impulse. Methodology is their madness...Card Fixes is dedicated to fixers - past present, and future."
