Even if you’ve been doing magic for juniors all of your life, there are valuable instructions, pointers, rules, hints and vital information in this work that are worth $100 to anyone who entertains the small fry.

FULL OF SPECIALLY SELECTED MAGIC

Sure, Bert Easley gives you tricks that are suited to junior audiences, all tested material as used by Bert in his own programs, but far more important are his detailed instructions. HOW TO MANAGE AND KEEP INTERESTED AND ENTERTAINED, ALL TYPES OF YOUNGSTERS, BOTH MISCHIEVOUS AND OTHERWISE.

Accomplished card professionals all recognize that Paul LePaul was one of the greatest manipulative magicians in advanced card work, so that no advanced card man, or any less experienced magician aspiring to that status, can afford to be without this great book.

Paul’s book starts with the beginning section providing expert grounding in sleights and flourishes (including the Pass, the Side-Steal, Palming, Acquitments, Double Lifts, Changes, Controls, False Dealing, False Shuffling and Flourishes). Paul then provides detailed descriptions of approximately two dozen of his finest magical sequences under the heading—“New and Different Magical Effects”: including One-Eyed Jacks, Bashful Queens, Rising Cards, and Gymnastic Aces, to name just a few.

The book therefore, is particularly recommended not only to top card professionals, but also to the newer, really serious student of card magic.
