After giving it a lot of thought, here's the Jolly Almanac of Card Knavery, a 240ish page PDF for learning card magic, available for free.
https://theburnabykid.com/nwmb/2018/10/1......knavery/ Inside are 12 chapters of material, including dozens of techniques, over 70 tricks, and essays about magic theory. I'm distributing it under a creative commons license (more details within the PDF itself in the book's Introduction). There are some relevant terms in there involving how to share this with others, but otherwise, if you want to download the PDF and start learning, it's available for free. Hope you guys have had a good weekend!

I haven't read through all of it. (I'm not a card guy.) But it looks great. The interludes will be helpful for all beginning magicians.

It's been brought to my attention that the purpose of the book might be unclear. Apparently I'm as lousy at marketing as I am at capitalism. As such, heer ya goo...
JACK (the Jolly Almanac of Card Knavery) is an intensive introduction to card magic that borrows heavily on resources in the public domain, along with a couple of contributions from myself. Inside are 12 chapters of material, including dozens of techniques, over 70 tricks, and essays about magic theory. It is my hope that this book provides an adequate update to existing introductory texts. Pardon the copypasta in sentence two.
