Description

Since the first volume was published in 1993, the Semi-Automatic Card Tricks series has become the largest and most reliable resource for professional caliber, non-sleight of hand card magic.  Full-time magicians and conjuring hobbyists alike have come to rely on the creative card magic stored in these volumes when they want to go for the jugular.    

Calling on his 15 years editing the underground sleight of hand journal The Trapdoor, the author seamlessly blends diabolical methods with humorous presentations proving once again that it is possible to captivate an audience with only pasteboards and personality.  In addition to fifty items of his own creation, the author has brought together over two dozen of his friends from around the world who have contributed fifty of their pet effects to this volume.  This is high-octane, low-fat, innovative card magic built from the ground up.  These effects feature the latest in card trick technology incorporating new principles and little-known subtleties.  Whether you want to out-magic your fellow magicians or fry the synapses of your lay audiences, this is real magic for the real world.
