Features: The front of the playing cards features 54 different suits, which can serve various functions such as changing suits, colors, positions, transforming from few to many, and from small to large. The back of the playing cards in the same deck displays a uniform pattern, which can both conceal the front's suit and number while hinting at its presence, creating a sense of illusion. As long as the cards are face down, all truths are hidden. Additionally, playing cards are small and thin, easily held in the palm or back of the hand. The cards and the hand make an excellent combination for magic; the holder can manipulate the position, angle, and number of cards with ease and discretion, leading to various transformations. Thus, it is widely believed: playing card games are full of fun; playing card magic is endlessly variable. To help readers better learn and perform playing card magic, this book collects and organizes many outstanding playing card magic tricks from around the world. In addition to providing a general introduction to the basics of playing card magic, it also details the performance methods and techniques of 161 playing card magic tricks.
