Here’s what famous magicians have said about this book:

“Excellent tricks, clearly explained.” – Leo Rullman

“Covers card, coin and mental tests, all of which are really practical and well thought out along the lines of subtlety and subterfuge. That I.O.U. effect is a ‘must’ pocket item.” – Ted Annemann
