The Expert at the Card Table

I have not seen an actual review of this book anywhere on here, I've seen that it is often referred to as "The Bible" but does it actually compare to RRCM? Does it have any additional topics that RRCM doesn't cover too for example?

Thank you.

The main review for it is here (http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic3592.php) though it's certainly not the pages and pages of discussion like many other books.

I've just ordered it from Amazon last night after watching the video ace of kev recommended in this thread (http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic40394-0-asc-30.php). It's cheap and I've read great reviews elsewhere.

A little-mentioned fact is that it contains possibly one of the best chapters on general magic presentation/misdirection. This applies to everyone, whether they use cards or not.

I have a printed copy for easy reference at home and TLP version for looking stuff up on the move.

Also see: The Annotated Erdnase by Darwin Ortiz, one of the most thourough treatments of the book available.
