Customer Reviews
Good but difficult - for advanced magicians - Rated Buckley was evidently a master magi and this work is suitably advanced. I've been doing card magic for some time and I found some of the stuff impossible. It's not tremendously well laid out, the descriptions are hard to follow and the pictues confusing. I know a lot of magicians seem to like this sort of thing so they can pride themselves on finding obscure stuff etc but if a book is written to explain then it should do it better than this. Most of the tricks ("experiments" as he calls them) are unlikely to be stunning as described but a showman can make them brilliant. I wouldn't buy this unless you are already advanced in the art Advanced Card Manipulation - Rated This is a 'classic' in the magic world and I read it many years ago and to be honest I did not find the material particularly outstanding. It is definately not for the beginner BUT more for those with intermediate to advanced skills. I will probably have another go with it now as I hope time & practice has improved my skills. Nevertheless, the book is well written for its time and the diagrams are quite useful in understanding the concepts being written about. this book is excellant for those willing to practise. - Rated This book will take a while to master but the sleights taught are priceless. Dovetail shuffles, DL's. There are tricks using the sleights and also a chapter devoted to manipulations...
