Magician's Magic by Paul Curry

"No recent book on magic... reveals so many inside secrets." - Martin Gardner

Known among veteran magicians for his invention of many new tricks and his imaginative twists of old ones, Paul Curry incorporated thoroughly engrossing material with a style that was truly elegant. This book by a "magician's magician" discloses the secrets behind a collection of close-up marvels--including the author's "Out of This World," reputed to be the best card trick of the past century.
