I have been going through some old boxes of magic items (Books, Videos) and remembered how amazing some of the things were so I thought I would review a few of the items starting with this one.

Review
113 pages of easy to do card tricks with no slight of hand. Original publish date of 1976 so quite old now but still a good book for those of you out there who like self working tricks. Over 40 easy to follow illustrations. All tricks can be done with a borrowed deck and usually not much set up.
Overall
I would give it an 9 out of 10 for the simple reason it is cheep, self working and an easy read. As time has passed I have become less fond of self working tricks such as these not because they are no good but because I like to challenge myself with slights.
Look out for more reviews coming on classical books and videos that are still avaliable but maybe overlooked.
