As the title suggests, it is a book about card tricks and includes some of Lorenz's favorite tricks and tricks. It also contains two short theory chapters and a bonus chapter.

• Longitudinal Slide Shift - A volta for the stand-up range. Without hectic movements and with good angles.
• Satisfriction - A study of jogs, different controls and new approaches.
• The Merrow Shuffle - A false shuffle at the table - simple and deceptive.
• One For Mr. Mayhew - My center deal routine, with a few nasty twists.
• Go-Stop - A seemingly impossible version of the classic stop trick.
• All Bags - 51 cards are chosen (almost) at random. A fun prediction routine.
• Kool and the Gang - My Follow the Leader Routine. Including Giancarlo Scalia's handling of the Delight Switch.
• Coincidencia Banal - A triple coincidence routine with only one game.

Lorenz's book is a triple threat of magical material with strong effects, clever ideas and a great title. Highly recommended.
