70 easy card tricks: a beginner’s guide to magic

70 tricks that are easy to learn and will astound your friends and family.

Learn 70 tricks that are easy to master and hundreds of techniques that are essential for every budding magician.

Easy Card Tricks includes mathematical dupes, sleights of hand, ’mind-reading’ stunts, expert shuffles, and card predictions that will seem impossible to an observer. Some of these tricks need no special skills at all, some need simple equipment such as a pen and paper, and some need simple conjuring skills to make the false shuffles, double lifts and glides look effortless. But all of the tricks are impressive and, with a little repetition in private, you will soon be a master of illusion.

Whether you are hoping to impress your friends and family, hone your skills that you’ve already developed, looking to be the life of the party or simply looking for a new hobby to pick up, Easy Card Tricks is the book for you.
