Paul Clive – Card Tricks Without Skill

Description

This collection of card tricks is really wonderful with very nice routines and simple effects. It is surprising that this book has not seen more attention and is hardly known. Take a look. You will be surprised. One of those hidden gems. It has been described by others as a “minor classic”.

This ebook covers both the first and expanded third edition.
