the question here is this: does anyone have this book "black and white" by Bruce Cervon? I think this is the title of it. I have seen it in my used book store weeks ago and now it bothers me that I didn't get it for some reason. The book comes with a set of black and white cards (I think 8 of them)
Should I go back to the store and try to get it? So far my search on this and other forums didn't bring any results. I guess my question is: is this book good or not so good. |

Question of what book to buy or effect to do is always a one of personal tastes. The book has more in it than you would think from the title and description. At first glance it appears that you are buying a sizable book with one little packet trick. Actually it is much more. There are about 8 chapters with about three different tricks or effects in each. So you get a fair number of different effects to try out. It is not the basic, and essential book that Royal Road to Card Magic is, but still could be a fun addition to your library. Hope that helps, Steve

"still could be a fun addition to your library."
I guess that's what I need to know, yes your reply is helpfull especially that I wasn't sure what exactly I was asking lol. Thanks for your post. ARe principles in this book usefull for other (normal) playing cards? Well thanks, I guess I'll go back to the bookstore and take a second good look at it if they still have it. |

There are some principles in the books that would be useful for normal playing cards, but most of the ideas are tailored to the unique properties of the black and white cards. I do have this effect and would recommend it. There are some very unique visuals included that you don't see with normal Oil & Water type effects.
Take care, Jason
