I've heard that his magic foregoes fingerflicking knucklebusting hardcore method for subtlety and I've heard that book is quite good. However, you seem to be asking about an awful lot of products. Focus on what ya got and masterit first! =D

Excellent book! A lot of stuff in the book that doesn't require a lot of technical skill.

His book is terrific. Brainwave is a classic.

I would like to thanks Turk for his words of encourgement in the private message...
and to vwc06: I do not live in the states.. so I do not get free shipping for my orders... in fact, it costs a lot to ship to my country and I can save a lot if I try and get all the stuff I want in one shipment... no point wasting so much on shipping charges when I could use the amount saved to get more magic stuff...and that's the reason I ask about a lot of products... if I were living in the states and can get free shipping... I would of course order each item as and when I want.... eric Quote: On 2003-10-06 12:47, vwc06 wrote:

One of my favorite card books. Not very much in sleights very good on sublety. Highly recommended.

The effect is the important thing, how you achieve it is not.......

Eric,
point taken. My apologies =) Well, seems like you should add this one to your order! Sounds like a winner. -Vincent |

It is one of my favourite books. There are NO knucklebusting sleights. Most effects rely on basic sleights or subtleties that are explained in a glossary in the back of the book. Most of Trost's marketed effects sold very well so having his entire work in one book is a great deal.

It is a favorite of mine as well. No hard moves and many tricks rely on subtle methods. It covers a wide variety of effects as well, gambling, predictions, coincidences, packet effects, even tricks with ESP cards.
