In this latest compendium, as in his earlier books of self-working card tricks and magic, card wizard Karl Fulves reveals the nuts-and-bolts workings of some of his most successful, most infallible card tricks. The 95 tricks he describes can be performed either by beginners or by experienced card magicians who want to expand their repertoires. These tricks will definitely create the illusion of magic – but the steps involved in their performance are easy to follow, and anyone with a little patience can learn to do them.

Divided into such categories as Impromptu Card Tricks, Prepared Magic, Tests for ESP, Tricks with Aces, and Games of Chance, the tricks include such easy-to-master bafflers as "Silver Trap", "Odd or Even?", "Brainchild", "King Quartet", "Fate in Numbers", "A Friendly Ghost", "Unbalanced Aces", "Secret Spell", "Mental Case", and many more.

"This collection of card tricks," says the author, "exemplifies the best in streamlined, easy-to-do modern tricks with playing cards. The reader who masters this material will have on hand a repertoire of tricks that can be accomplished under a variety of performing circumstances for audiences of all kinds.
