The Card Magic of Le Paul

s13zeTheDay · 03-04-2011, 01:46 AM

This book is a must-own for any serious card worker. It is broken down into two parts, Sleights/flourishes and tricks.

The tricks, while all good, are nothing special. You might use one or two, but lets just say that when looking for new routines to learn I rarely turn to this book. (If you have further questions comment in this thread.)

The Sleights, on the other hand, are great. Le Paul created many of his own sleights and improved many more. One of my favorite go to moves in all of magic is the Le Paul Invisible Turnover pass, taught in the book. He also includes many other valuable techniques, such as the side steal, top and bottom palm, center steal, bottom/second deal, and false shuffles. Not only are they explained in detail, there are pictures of his hands with a deck of cards performing the moves, which is unusual for a book at all, let alone one published so long ago. Even if you think you know many of these moves, I guarantee if you read this book it will improve your handling of at least one of them.

Overall I recommend this book to any card worker looking to improve their mastery of key sleights, whatever level they may be at. Though the tricks are forgettable, the wealth of information and improvements on sleights is indispensable.

Price: $11
