DESCRIPTION
Hands down, one of the best little references on essential card sleights! Rather than just describing the basic mechanics, Leech strives to really "teach" you how to execute each move smoothly and correctly, including helpful handling "dos and don'ts," angles to watch, etc. As a student of Ed Marlo, and confidante of other card magic icons, like Dai Vernon, Bill Simon, and Paul Rosini, Leech knows of what he expounds! Sleights include: CONTROLS - Triple Cut, Simplified Pass; THE CRIMP - Spread Crimp, Age Old Card Control; PASSES - Standard Pass, Turnover Pass (Hermann); THE PALM - Top Palm, One-Hand Palm, Multiple Palm, Diagonal Palm, Bottom Palm; THE REPLACEMENT; CHANGES - Top Change, Bottom Change, Double Lift, Glide, Drop Switch; FORCING - Classical Force, Hindu Shuffle Force; FALSE COUNTS - Over Count and Buckle Count; FALSE SHUFFLES - Erdnase Top Stock Shuffle, Strip-Out Shuffle; CUTS - Charlier, Simple False Cut, Slip Cut, Double Cut; REVERSES - With Double Lift and Another Method; ADDITIONS - Marlo’s Secret Card Add and Another Method; THE COLOR CHANGE - Side Steal (Bottom); FROM THE CENTER - Side Steal (Center); THE MULTIPLE SHIFT; THE BIDDLE SLEIGHT; THE PEEK; THE SECOND DEAL; THE MEXICAN TURNOVER; and THE KELLY BOTTOM PLACEMENT. Finally, Leech advises which sleights he considers the most useful and which ones are less important, or difficult to acquire, or do without detection. A handy guide even for the experienced card worker. 30 pages, re-typeset, illustrated.
