Harvey Berg is doing a lecture tour at the moment. I went to see him in Liverpool earlier this week. This was the first lecture that I have been to and if they are all similiar to this one I can recommend them.
Harvey Berg does "Mentalisim" magic using mostly cards although he has a great book trick also. I bought a set of his lecture notes and they give good clear instructions on 10 tricks using a pack of cards. However trying to remember the order of the "Stack" and each "Cycle" is taxing but does click into place after a couple of practice sessions.
If he is in your area and "Stacked" decks are your thing it is worth going to see him.

I worked with Harvey in The USA a few years back.
A nice guy with some nice ideas.
He is not really into being a showman or performer but you will learn some things from him thats for sure.
