Description

Modern Card Effects sees two experienced card workers tip their professional repertoires to create what Genii magazine suggested might well have been “the first book of its kind” — a comprehensive explanation of audience-tested card material, written by and for performers.

The book begins with a selection of striking color changes, and although the authors assume familiarity with various Passes and Side Steals, an interesting method for delivering a card from the center of the deck to the right palm in a lightly folded condition is explained in full, as are a number of other novel sleights. The rest of the book is devoted to complete routines, covering a mix of both impromptu material and effects requiring some degree of preparation. Whether you’re using the clever method for gaffing a card to ensure a break-free Riffle Force or employing the authors’ preferred technique for a simple and direct Cards Across, you’re sure to find something worthwhile in this book’s eighty-four pages.
