Encyclopedia of Card Tricks

Jean Hugard was known and revered throughout the world of magic as a practical performer, inventor and author; and, until his recent death, he was in close consultation with my American colleagues on current magical subjects. This new revised edition of his Encyclopaedia of Card Tricks is one of the most complete works on card miracles, and will be welcomed by professional and amateur conjurers, for it is a leading textbook on a specialized branch of magic. The masters of magic, drawn from all parts of the world, contributed many of their finest effects to this book, and their generosity has been rewarded by this new production of the Encyclopaedia.
