This eBook is the very first of a series of eBooks to come, presenting my own versions of the classics of card magic. These simple, straight-forward plots will cover the gamut of card magic in this series of upcoming Classic Card Magic eBooks.
Please keep up with this Classic Card Magic series and you will have a very strong base for your card magic performances, and a very nice array of magic effects... not just a "pick-a-card-find-a-card" type of theme.
I have brought some of the plots and patter, up to date... but IN NO WAY have I changed the bare essence of the effects or plots.
Every magician who wishes to perform and entertain with a deck of cards MUST KNOW THE CLASSICS OF CARD MAGIC. It is THAT simple!
If you don't know the classics... you will be floundering like a fish out of water - and the spectators will know it.
There are some who will say, "Oh, I don't use cards in my magic!" and that is a sad thing. There are many easy-to-do cards tricks that will make you look GREAT!
Cards provide an almost infinite number of ideas for relatable magic, provide new patter ideas that will thrill spectators, and provide an "alternate universe" of scenarios and situations that will captivate your audience.
I, myself, can rarely go to any gathering, party, bar, family function, etc. without someone saying, "Hey, Paul, do a trick!" and will then hand me a deck of cards... because when you do magic with THEIR cards, the outcomes are even more amazing! That's the way people think - and prepare for in advance!
Please continue following this series of Classic Card Magic eBooks and I am SURE you'll find a wonderful array of very doable card effects, with excellent patter, that will thrill your audience... and have them "look" at you in a brand new way... it WILL happen!
