Card Control by Jerry Andrus

Description

Let’s not mince our words here: Jerry Andrus was an insanely creative, ridiculously inquisitive individual. This set of books was his best work on magic and it is a must-own for anyone interested in experimenting with sleight of hand card magic.

Andrus saw the deck in a different way to anyone else we know. He found interesting ways to shuffle, palm, reverse, pass and change cards. They’re all detailed here. Volume one contains the updated and reformatted text. Volume two contains over 1,050 line art illustrations by the author.

Check these out. Seriously. Do it now.
