BOOK - Counts Cuts Moves *PREOWNED*

OFF THE MARKET!
From the estate book collection of a retired professional magician.

One of the best CONCISE books on the most important moves to know!
If you are looking for some easy to understand information on these very useful moves, this book is a "must-have".

About 20 years ago, we had the pleasure of hosting Jerry Mentzer for a lecture at Magic Tricks.
Aside from being a very friendly and funny man, Jerry was a genius at making the complex but necessary moves into simple techniques.
He was not someone who made things long and drawn out- which is why this book is only 73 pages!
It gets right to the point.
If you don't have this book in your library yet- GET IT!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Here at long last is a book of basic counts, moves and maneuvers that are used primarily in tricks with small packets of cards.
If you know nothing of basic card magic, this book will instruct you.
Many of the basic counts such as the Elmsley Count, Jordan Count, Haback Count, Spirit Count, etc. are described.
The Ascanio Spread and many other moves and false counts are also included.
