This is David Solomon's first book. It features more than forty of his original card routines and dozens of the techniques used within those routines. It is full of novel handlings and ideas that you will be able to apply to other card effects in your repertoire.
David was one of the longtime members of Chicago's Magic Round Table during the time Edward Marlo held court. David spent untold hours watching and helping Marlo create card effects and many of those collaborations are included in this book.
A nice feature of the book is Eugene Burger's input on the routines and the many insightful interviews with David about the magicians he grew up with in the Chicago area, and the stormy controversies that developed.
The routines in the book require minimal to advanced skill but are mostly considered intermediate since David favored well thought out methods with clean and natural handlings. He often eliminated extraneous moves through subtlety, and devilishly clever thinking to create fooling card effects.As a special bonus you also get access to an online video where David Solomon performs ten of his favorite routines from the book.

"In this book, you will discover how David's commitment to magical thinking, to taking things apart and putting them back together in new and different ways, has generated some very wonderful card magic." - Eugene Burger
