Scarne On Card Tricks by John Scarne. This book lists for $12.95 in paperback. This book is printed by Dover Publications and is an unabridged version of the original 1950 edition by Crown Publishers.
These days books seem to have taken a back seat to videos but I feel this book is an exceptional book on card magic. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to do cards tricks but is afraid of card sleights. Even the experienced card magician will find this book worthwhile. Written by the great John Scarne who in his day he was the highest paid card manipulater. The book contains over 150 cards tricks all of which require no sleight of hand. Many of the tricks are essentially self-working. The real beauty is the simplicity of the tricks. When you perform these tricks people will be amazed at the way they think you manipulate the cards. Whatever your skill level may be, you will find a treasure chest of routines that you can add to your show. The over 300 pages are very easy to read and follow. This is one of those books that you will want to have a deck of cards handy to try the tricks out.
