I agree, Vlad.
Zebaztian, I guess I should have asked this in my post just above, but it seems you feel the thread has either gone off-topic or hasn't been properly addressed. Am I right, or am I missing something? Just asking is all. |

I felt the thread going the wrong way: from 'what's a good book on self working card tricks' to a kind of 'are self working card tricks a good way to perform magic'.

Both topics are interesting, but they deserve their own discussion.

No one mentioned Stack Attack by Lew Brooks. Very good & easy to do stuff in there.
Self concept is destiny..

I long for the day when devotees of the pasteboards can share their passions without the regrettable "upstairs/downstairs" rift that separates the discipline. We have all too often seen a brilliant technical purist bore an audience to the point of brain-freeze; and we have all seen a "self-worker" in the hands of a massively talented entertainer that renders the audience awe-struck. The common denominator here is our love of playing cards and all that we can do with them. As the bard once wrote, “Let me not to marriage of true minds admit impediments.”

Chiming back in with yet another two suggestions:
"The Annihilation Deck" by Cameron Francis - SOOOOOOOOOOOO strong "Up the Ante" by Martyn Smith (the Café's own Captainsmiffy) Nary a sleight in either yet both with such an explosion of spectator neurons you will chuckle with such Mephistophelean glee. Panlives, I love how you end many of your posts with classic prose. It makes me smile. Keep it up! Ahimsa, as we row forward ceaselessly into the past, Vlad |

Sorry to bump this thread but a friend told me to get Scarne on Crad Tricks and I think it's a great book!

No one should underestimate "Scarne on Card Tricks" on the assumption that it is old, stale or no longer relevant.
This book has some truly ingenious thinking and more than a few scorchers.

Agreed. And now that I've downloaded it to my Nook, I can take it with me wherever I go!
