Summary

Can't hold two cards in your hand without dropping them--much less handle a deck? Then here's your magic book of tricks! Using methods subtle enough to fool anyone, even the clumsiest would-be magicians can put on a stylish show. Simple, casual cuts create confusion for the spectator, and your chatter will distract them while you sneak a peek. Sometimes you'll do the dirty work behind your back (an easy thumb-flip of the pack). Your skills will astound everyone!
