Hello Café Members!

Does anyone know if there are any Books, Lecture Notes or DVDs that exclusively feature Effects With Jumbo Cards?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

Thank you for your post.

I have a set that I can perform both with jumbo cards and poker cards. I start with Small Triumph by Nobuyuki Nojima from Asian Astonishments by Steve Marshall. Be sure to soap the cards, otherwise, proper handling may be impossible. I use the same cards for EZ Oil and Water from Nathan Kranzo's Easy Card Magic.

I have my eye on Kranzo's Easy Card Magic... Haven't bought it yet. What's your verdict? In addition to EZ Oil and Water what would you say are the gems?

Thanks!
Phil

Easy Canasta is quite good.

Mark Wilson's Complete Course has a section on Jumbo cards.

EZ Oil and Water grabbed me right away. The other stuff didn't grab me, but that may change. I just have so much card material, that I stopped looking for more, for now.
