By Karl Fulves

All magicians need a variety of card tricks for their acts, especially the spur-of-the-moment kind that can be performed without any special sleight of hand. In this outstanding new collection, an expert magician presents step-by-step, foolproof instructions for 65 of his most impressive card tricks, guaranteed to work flawlessly and to impress and delight audiences.
No special dexterity is required to master such mystifying and entertaining illusions as "Prediction Wallet," in which the card a spectator has chosen and signed turns up in the magician's wallet; "Magnetic Force," a trick that uses a "magnetized" card to find the mates to a pair of target cards; "Cupid's Hotline," in which an audience member telephones a psychic and the latter identifies the card in the former's hand; or "Suspense," which dangles a card in midair.
Each trick is clearly explained and illustrated, and many include patter and presentation suggestions. Magicians at all levels, beginner to expert, amateur to professional, will prize this collection of surefire tricks by one of the masters of card magic. 116 black-and-white illustrations.
