First Word

Hello! I look forward to our time together with these card tricks. There is something here for

everyone, from the rank beginner to the advanced card magician. You’ll find a variety of

effects, including some fairly novel concepts as well as my versions of some of the classic

plots. But I think every effect here has something to offer, whether that something is its novelty,

a simplification of handling, or a unique application of a method to a problem. In any event, I

can assure you that I have used each and every effect here in my working repertoire at some

point, and all have played well for me.

The question is, will they play well for you? To a very large degree, that depends on you, my

friend! I am not egotistical enough to think that every person who reads this book will think that

every item in it is the best of its kind. I doubt that even ONE person will think that! But if you

go through this book with cards in hand and glean the effects that seem to suit you and your

performing persona, and if you then put in the time and effort required to practice and rehearse

them properly, I believe you will find them more than satisfactory. I know your audiences will.

I know because I’ve seen the reactions of people who’ve witnessed these effects, either in one

of my performances, or when they were performed by one of the magicians to whom I’ve

taught them.

I’ve been accused of being a “pot-stirrer;” of “harping” and “always being on my soapbox,”

when it comes to the attitudes of most magicians. Well, so be it. There are too many (and their

number only seems to be growing) who seem to think that a magic performance is all about

them and their egos! My friends, this is the wrong path! When you learn that the show is about

the AUDIENCE and THEIR enjoyment, and about how you can share your magic to bring joy

and wonder to THEM, you will be traveling the right road. It’s not only the right road—in the

end, it’s the BEST road, and the most enjoyable journey for everyone concerned.

So grab your favorite beverage, and maybe some pretzels or peanuts, uncase the pasteboards,

turn the page and let’s begin our journey toward the back cover together. Hopefully, you will

have found many treasures to share with your audiences by the time we reach it!

Best wishes,

Scott

Several of these effects originally appeared in my books, Never Miss a Trick! and Officiously Yours , both of

which are now out of print.
