(this will be my first review so it wont be the most informative [Sorry])
The Book
http://www.amazon.com/Encylopaedia-Card ... 057202620X

Price
I bought it for on holliday (or as we in the states say 'vacation') to England for about £10 in a little shop in Bath.

Personal Review
Fantastic it offers a plethora of card tricks utilizing things like simple math, Magicians Wax, One way back designs, Double Backed cards, The Nikola System (a prearranged deck of which I have never heard) and a few legitimate Psychological tricks.

Grade 8.6/10 I am more into impromptu tricks so I get all sorts of those plus a lot of great ideas just waiting to be expanded upon.

I couldn't believe how much this book contained when I bought my copy from Amazon for £10. Encyclopedia is the right word.

You can read it free on The Learned Pig. Definitely worth buying, though.

Anyone happen to know what was 'revised' in the 'Revised Edition'? But anyway, yes - revised or not - the EoCT is one of those books there seems to be little excuse for not having in your magic collection.

Excellent book with tricks that apply to novices as well as expert cardicians. Buy it, it's a classic of its kind.
