Royal Road to Card Magic help

Postby mccabe24 » Aug 31st, '06, 00:38



I have a copy of RRTCM on order at my local magic store, and I litterally can't wait to get my hands on it! Could anyone post a summary of this book (some of the key sleights, flourishes, forses, etc.) I used the search function, but all of the reviews I found were just people talking about/recomending the book. If someone could post a link to a review, that would be just as helpful. There must be a reveiw on this site somewhere... :?

Sorry, this is probably a pointless thread that will most likely wind up in the sin bin, but I have heard so many great things about this book and can not wait to read it!

50% of my working repertoire comes from this book in regard to close up card magic. That is how highly I regard this book. It is my bible.

You can sign up, and if you're accepted, you'll be able to actually review the effects in the books and engage in discussions regarding the tricks.

Hope this helps.


Wow, does it value the effort/time to get in? You have to contact the admin by email, talk about you, you have to know someone that is already a member of this forum. etc.. It's kinda strict, but It should be a good forum.

It's a forum like any other, but there are some cool sections, like the one about Royal Road to Card Magic. The entire effects are posted there for you to read and/or comment about. You can also work with other members on variations to existing effects.

BTW, one of my favorite effects in RRTCM is "Thought Stealer" and I posted my variation of this effect on those forums.

I go look for that! I don't think I've seen that one.
