[.ca] World's Best Card Tricks (ISBN 0806982330)

Wonderful:
For the past week I have taken this book everywhere I go. It has tought me lots of amazing--yet easy to do--card tricks. This book contains a decent amount of pictures. Only one or two of his selection of tricks I have not been able to figure out...yet. What can I say? The book is defently worth the $$ you pay for it!

The title is BS!:
I have been doing card tricks for a while, and I have to say that anything of Bob Longe's is a waste of money. The tricks in this book are terrible. These are certainly NOT the "World's Best Card Tricks". I can't believe some of this \ostuff\c is even in here. I highly recommend the reader to learn card magic from great authors such as Jean Hugard, S.W. Erdnase, and Arthur H. Buckley. If you are a beginner, get the "Royal Road to Card Magic" By Hugard and Braue. It is of MUCH higher value and the tricks in this book will be 100x better than the stuff that's in Bob Longe's books. There is absolutely no way you can be the life of the party with these tricks, as the author claims.

THE BEST book I could find on card tricks.:
No doubt that this is the greatest book on card magic. No sleight of hand is required and all you require is a deck of 52 cards, preferably the Bicycle brand Bridge sized cards which are easy to handle. Therefore the tricks are easy to learn. I am not a professional magician, no way close to being even an amateur and yet I could amaze and dazzle my family members and friends. I am just a beginner to this world and now I am genuinely interested in magic in general and card magic in particular. Thanks, Bob for this great book. I am sure I will check out his other books as well.

For those who are REALLY starting into card magic.:
If you never read "Royal Road To Card Magic", "Expert Card Technique" or "Expert At The Card Table", you'll find this book a good one. It has some good tricks, but it has some dumb ones too. I recommend this book for those who does not want to learn some sleight of hand before starting doing card tricks. As Amazon warns, this book is juvenile literature. Last word: if you buy this book and you like it, then buy "101 Amazing Card Tricks". It's written by Bob Longe too, and in my opinion, they should be sold together, for their similarity.

Fabulous for the beginning Magician!:
I'm a magician member of the Magic Castle now, but in my early forays into card magic this book helped wean me away from trick Svengali and stripper decks, so that I could be handed a deck of cards from anyone and perform a nice trick. They're not all home runs. But I still get great responses from several of the tricks contained within here. ...and yes, I now own Card College, have read Royal Road to Card Magic several times, but those books should come after this one. This one will help you decide if you're serious about persuing more card magic or not. A fabulous starter book, but make sure you practice!!
