DESCRIPTION
These 52 tricks were favorites with Ted Annemann and the majority bear the earmarks of his genius for substituting subtlety where difficult sleights would ordinarily have been called for. Among the effects are contributions by such famous card men as Dai Vernon, Dr. Daley, Jean Hugard, Al Baker, Audley Walsh, Stewart Judah, and many others. We know you’ll enjoy doing these tricks, as each one has been streamlined to obtain the maximum of effect with the minimum of effort. We feel sure, too, that you will prize this collection of 52 impromptu card tricks and that this book will prove to be one of the most popular books in your library. Completely re-typeset from the original Max Holden edition, 76 big 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 pages, illustrated by Nelson Hahne.
