Long out of print, this outstanding debut work by a master of magic is once again available for a new generation of audiences and performers.

Mariano Palhinha, famous for his manipulative magic, here reveals his favorite effects--many of which rely on subtlety instead of difficult sleights. Primarily card miracles, one or more should easily find a place in your repertoire.

"Altogether a nice little card book, novel both in ideas and presentation."   --George Johnson "The chapter on voice culture is worth the price of the book alone."   --Chas. C. Eastman "I urge you to pay particular attention to the author's 'With the Chameleons' — a two-deck miracle that features a double color change of the card backs. And then, to top it off, the two decks themselves exchange places on the table!" --From the Introduction by B. W. McCarron
