When it says 'expert' it isn't kidding - there are moves and techniques here that would take a long time to master - but the resulting effects are remarkable. Everything is well described, and the diagrams are clear and helpful. The suggested dialogue is quaintly old-fashioned, as with most of the classic card trick books, but that just adds to the charm :-)
Arguably the second most important book on card magic in the 20th century. Much of the unattributed material comes from Charles Miller and Dai Vernon.
