I love this book. It's so fascinating to see many tricks and methods that we did not know at the time. My favorite part was the jumbo card star. I don't know why more magicians do not do this version of it.
ReplyDeleteThe 1977 Barnes & Noble paperback was my first copy of this book back in the late 70s. I lost it later on but eventually picked up the later printing gray hardcover edition. It's a fabulous book. The contents are fascinating as Michael points out. There would nothing like this book until Patrick released The Key years later.
