Card tricks without sleight of hand painstakingly explained
It is a great collection of tricks requiring no technical skills apart form being able to do variations on a good overhand shuffle. The explanations are painstakingly clear. Good advice too, on subtleties in presentation. The quality off this reproduction is of the usual high standard from Dover Publications.
