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.

2 comments about Blackstone's Modern Card Tricks.

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.

2 comments about World's Best Card Games for One.

1. This book makes no attempt to be comprehensive in its listing of solitaire games, but the games it does describe are described in large print, with diagrams, and examples for the games that are not so obvious. This was useful to me as some of the more comprehensive books (and web-sites) keep the directions minimal. Certainly a good buy at this price.
   
   UPDATE: This book is now published under the title GREAT SOLITAIRE GAMES.



2. I collect books on solitaire. I would not recommend this
   to anyone but a collector -- there are much better books
   in print, such as Morehead and Mott-Smith's "The Complete
   Book of Solitaire and Patience Games" or Parlett's
   "Teach Yourself Card Games for One". Barry claims to
   have selected the best games in her book, but it is still
   littered with junk like Auld Lang Syne (a virtually
   unwinnable game with no skill). The descriptions are
   often incomplete and occasionally wrong (her description
   of Pyramid, allowing cards to be used a second time after
   being discarded, is nonsensical). She describes Storehouse
   as a minor variant of Canfield; it's actually a forerunner
   where cards are packed in suit. She rates games by
   amount of space used (an interesting feature) and level
   (it's not clear if this is supposed to be win rate, in
   which case many of the ratings are wrong, or something
   else). Myron Miller's illustrations are nice, but the
   book has little else to recommend it, either in selection
   of games, or clarity and accuracy.
