DESCRIPTION

Jean Hugard's Encyclopedia of Card Tricks, originally published by Max Holden was based upon this, Gravatt's Second Encyclopedia, along with his (first) the Encyclopedia of Self-Working Card Tricks, published in 1936. If you have the Jean Hugard edition just cited, many of these effects are included, but not all. In this Second Encyclopedia of Card Tricks, Gravatt explains 125 self-working card tricks from the top card men of the day - all clearly explained in his unique, concise style. 96 big pages, top quality, easy-to-read and study re-typeset edition (not just a collection of scanned pages).
