![]() ![]() ![]() Clearly, to travel the royal road to card magic, you must begin with the fundamental principles and learn these well, as you would in learning any other art. If you find that, in your hands, a certain trick falls flat, you can rest assured that the fault is yours, and that further study is required. These tricks have been chosen with the greatest care and every one of them is effective if properly done. You should, however, select at least two of them and learn them so well that you can perform them smoothly and entertainingly before going any farther. We do not suggest that all the tricks in each section should be mastered before you pass on to the next sleight. Each chapter describes a new sleight or principle and a selection of tricks follows in which that particular sleight, and those already learned, are the only ones used.

It is far better to know only a few tricks which can be performed with grace, skill and effect. We cannot emphasize too strongly that knowing the secret of a trick is not the same as knowing how to perform that trick and that knowing the secret of hundreds of tricks is of little value unless each can be performed smoothly and entertainingly. The novice knows the mechanics of so many tricks that he cannot do any one feat really well the professional performs a smaller number of tricks which he knows how to present in such a way as to create the greatest possible impression upon those who watch. There is a vast difference between the two, and if proof were needed, one need only watch the same feat performed by a novice and by an expert card conjurer. To perform card tricks entertainingly you must not only know how the tricks are done, but how to do them. ![]() "I should say," the magician responded dryly, "that I know about eight." Devant was making a point with which all professional magicians are familiar. How many do you know?." Devant glanced at the youth quizzically. Devant," said this young man, "I know three hundred tricks with cards.
