Don't be put off by the price. This volume contains a surprising number of great tricks, and clearly explains a good number of the basic techniques. It is written for the beginner, but it is fairly comprehensive, and the intermediate card magician will find much here as well. Come on, even if I'm wrong, look how much money you're out.
