DESCRIPTION

You've got serious skills...Lynn Searles believed you should show them off!

An unabashed sleight of hand card man and Erdnase devotee, Lynn Searles is perhaps best remembered for Cannibal Cards and his contributions to Karl Fulves' "Pallbearers Review." That's why he dedicated his first book to "those who delight in the skill of the hands." Any magician interested in constructing a gambling demonstration or even adding an effect or two along these lines to his repertoire will find this booklet an invaluable resource, as will the general card man (person). Clearly written explanations and nearly two dozen Sid Lorraine illustrations make a range of important moves and sleights accessible to those willing to put in a little practice time. What's more, there are even several outstanding self-working effects: Searles' version of Jamison's Ace Control with a special kicker finish, Jacks and Aces - a surprising Jacks to Aces transposition that's actually easy to do, and his handling for the Siamese Aces (A Renovated Trick - A Variation). 34 pages, re-typeset.
