Full Facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this classic treatment the student is led, step by step, from the easy to more complicated sleight of hand tricks. The authors, both noted authorities on magic, present complete, easy-to-understand explanations of shuffles, flourishes, the glide, the glimpse, false shuffles and cuts, the pass, the classic force, and many other techniques. Illustrated with 121 black and white illustrations. Review: Amazing Book for Beginners - As a beginner magician, I could not be happier that I have found this book. When one first begins his journey into prestidigitation, it is normal to be completely overwhelmed with the mass of sources that claim to teach you the magic you need. The latest culprit of this are the videos that make the promise of mastery of a particular trick within X minutes of watching. RRTCM takes this premise, and completely negates it, despite having been written much prior to the thought of such an idea. Hugard & Braue dispense of the notion that a good magician is one who knows a thousand tricks, for a thousand tricks equate none if you cannot perform them correctly. Each chapter introduces a feature of card handling, whether it be shuffles (overhand, riffle, hindu), flourishes, passes, glimpses, etc. Then, at the end of the chapter, the authors provide a handful of tricks that are performed due to that certain sleight you just learned. The authors instruct you to read the book in order, making sure not to rush ahead, almost as if you were studying for a college class. If you take this approach, it will seem dull at first, but it will make you a better magician, I promise you. To sum it all up, there is a reason this is called the Bible of Card Magic. Whether you're new to the field of card magic, or a seasoned veteran, this book should be the first in your library. Review: Fantastic Book - Classical work. You progress from the very basics through advanced techniques. Explanations and images work well together to ensure proper form and technique ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,823,578 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Magic Tricks #49 in Card Games (Books) #111 in Magic & Illusion | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,141 Reviews | ## Images ![The Royal Road to Card Magic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kshAAVTWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Book for Beginners *by J***A on August 11, 2014* As a beginner magician, I could not be happier that I have found this book.

Explanations and images work well together to ensure proper form and technique ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Number One resource for card technique *by S***) on March 27, 2017* Highly recommend. The number one go to book for learning card magic technique. If followed in order, one will have enough material to buld an impressive routine at the end of the book, though Each section teaches technique then tricks with those learned techniques to apply and lock that learned technique in to memory for future tricks. There's a reason this book is the number one mentioned book for learning card magic. The material within its pages will do one well as you progress. The key with this book as well as any other is Practice. But even though this was written in the 50's it is still THE BEST starting point to learn.
