The best card magic books out there is Darwin Ortiz’s books. Pure gold. But this one and all of his other books. Great detailed pictures, amazing explanations and absolutely killer tricks but this before it’s gone!!
The production values of the book is standard affair. The photos and drawings are pretty good but not as good as the more modern publications. One thing about this book is I find the descriptions a bit sparse it assumes you already know a lot of the moves. The book starts off with the best description of the pinky count I have ever read. Ortiz is a master teacher for sure. Most of the tricks are very hard but very satisfying. The tricks are more gambling orientated but that said the effects are great. I really like this book.
