The Expert at the Card Table - SW Erdnase

DESCRIPTION

Of the thousands of books written on card manipulation in the last century, few works are more important or highly regarded than The Expert at the Card Table by S.W. Erdnase (E.S. Andrews). As a result, this treatise is a must-read for anyone who handles a deck of cards or plays cards for money. It is divided into three sections. The first, Card Table Artifice, covers an array of false shuffles, cuts, palming, dealing seconds and bottoms, etc. The second is dedicated to sleights for the conjuror - Legerdemain with cards, including shifts, forcing, changes, false shuffles and more. And finally, the third section contains over a dozen card tricks. In this new, high quality ebook edition from Trickshop.com, Expert at the Card Table has been reformatted (from its original small and hard-to-read pamphlet size) to fit a standard US 8-1/2 x 11 or European A4 page size. It has also been completely re-typeset with larger, easier to read type with generous leading and larger illustrations - making this important material more accessible than ever before. 140 pages, illustrated.
