Description

The venerable card index is often overlooked by modern performers, but this short booklet sees Max Andrews offer discerning conjurers sixteen powerful reasons why it’s a tool worth using. As the author notes, the effect of locating any card called for from a shuffled deck that has been divided and placed in the magician’s pockets has amazed all classes of audiences “from royalty downwards” for many years, and although Andrews opens this collection with that very routine, the tricks that follow are equally entertaining and baffling. The material explained here isn’t just of interest to card workers, either — mentalists are certain to enjoy “Spectacular Book Test” and “Em-Ay Coin Prediction.” A great introduction to a neglected prop.
