The little giant book of card tricks

With so many card tricks - and sleights of hand to help you carry them out successfully - you'll be the star at your next party or family gathering.

Some of these tricks are brand new, others are improvements on the classics.

Familiarize yourself with tips on presentation, entertainment, misdirection and the patter - and work on the sleights of hand such as false shuffles and cuts, force of hand and double lifts.

Then astonish audiences by forecasting selection, moving cards form one pack to another and knocking a card through the table!
