1 comments about Card Games for One: Patience-Solitaires (Teach Yourself).

1. This is book details and describes many card games that are made for only one player. These range from the well-known Klondike (Solitaire on Windows) to elaborate 3-5 pack games that require hours of complex play.

   Don't be scared though...there are plenty of normal, quikc-learning and fun 1 and 2 pack card games. The variety is enormous and dazzling

   I highly recommend this book to anyone who even nearly liked Solitaire

2 comments about Magic with cards : 113 easy-to-perform miracles with an ordinary deck of cards.

1. This book is quite miss leading. 113 easy-to perform miracles boils down too about 5 basic magic tricks with dozens and dozens of variations. Although these tricks are essential for future card tricks I think its not worth it.



2. I found this book to be a great book that teaches card tricks ranging in skill from easy to difficult. It includes tricks based on the Si Stebbins Master System, Math-based tricks, and preforming tips and tricks. Overall, I give it 4 stars.

1 comments about Peg Solitaire: 23 All-On-Your-Own Games (Klutz).

1. I absolutely love Klutz books, and have all of mine in a plastic bin that I call my "bored box" for when I have nothing to do.

   But I say, don't bother with this one. It's a disappointment.

   For one thing, each page is only about 3x3" (perforated, and you have to separate them yourself -- the actual equivalent equals only about 20 normal-sized pages). The book is highly overpriced (I didn't buy it through Amazon -- if you get it, get it through them since they have a good price on it!)...I paid $18 for it. And finally, in the first edition they made a mistake so just added a Post-It note to correct it!

   The worst thing about it is that there are only a few ways to play Peg Solitaire before you get bored with it.

   Instead of getting this one, unless you are a Peg Solitaire addict (because then you will probably like it), I recommend grabbing a friend and getting the Klutz Book of Board Games. It has one Solitaire game in it that you can play by yourself, but the rest of the games are for buddies. Or if you're convinced you want to play something all alone, get their Klutz Puzzle Arcade, full of puzzles -- it's an A+!

   By the way, sorry my review is so biased. I think Amazon has a pretty reasonable price for it, so you might want to go ahead and spend your cash on it if you really like this sort of game.

1. This Book Has Good Tricks for Beginer to advanced Card magictions. However Some of the tricks in this book are very esay to figer out. My 5 year old cousin could figer out some of the tricks.Taht is why I gave it 4 stars.



2. Ummm, I didn't really like this book too much. It's card tricks were just, well, to put it straight to you, weird. I'm not really sure how a card trick qualifies as "weird," but the ones in this book do...like throwing Threes in the air so that as they spin while falling, they look like aces (part of a trick). Some of the beginner tricks are WAY to easy to figure out, and some of the advanced tricks just are too complicated with not enough effect. You'd be better off with Hugard's and Braue's stuff. This book just doesn't cut it for me...and it also doesn't have many illustrations either (barely any). So, if you like "weird" card tricks, then go for this. But I wouldn't strongly recommend it...however, it is I guess a good reference book for any magician's library.
