Playing card magic is certainly the most extensive area of ​​magic. A deck of cards is the most versatile prop imaginable, and the number of manipulations, effects, and routines that can be performed with them is enormous, with new ones being added every day. With a deck of cards in your pocket, you can keep any audience thoroughly entertained for a long time.

In Lesson 49, Harlan Tarbell introduces you to tricks that all have something special about them, making them perfect for livening up a card game. For example, there's "Snooty," a jumping snake that seeks out drawn cards. There are floating and disappearing cards, as well as the card that appears on your spectator's tie. You'll also be introduced to various decorative tricks, such as cards that shoot into the air and twirl through the air. Cards leap from your hand into a hat held above it, or whizz from a deck held by a spectator into your hand.

Lesson 50 is dedicated to the topic of card risers. Cards mysteriously rise from envelopes, books, hats, and from "Tarbell's Haunted House."

All in all, this is a collection of top-class material, some of which can be learned quickly, while others require serious training.
