BOOKS
This is a most unusual book; there is nothing else like it in print! It is an authoritative work on Floating Routines for Table and Stage utilizing our old friend "THREAD." The table of contents includes chapters entitled, "Basic Facts Relating to Effect," "Guide to Flotation, Using Thread and Balls," and "Routines Using Thread Link-Ups." The author gives routines for both "One Point Thread" and "Two Point Thread."
A must for those who want the real dope on the use of THREAD in magic.

This profusely illustrated book demonstrates step by step the astonishing card magic cultivated by one of the premier sleight-of-hand artists of the 20th century. It presents maneuvers that have left theater audiences amazed and that card-playing professionals have used to great advantage.

Over 300 photographs show the practitioner's exact hand positions during each critical move.
Australian-born Arthur H. Buckley became well known in America for the magic he worked with cards on the major vaudeville circuits of the 1920s. Schooled by the great sleight-of-hand artists he met in the entertainment business and by professional gamblers he met in his early years touring Australia, his absolute mastery of the most artful and demanding card-handling routines was legendary. In 1946, he wrote this practical guide revealing in detail the secrets of his art. Any magician or card conjurer who aspires to the utmost proficiency in card manipulation will want to have this indispensable reference in his or her library.
The book contains a republication of Card Control: A Post Graduate Course on Practical Methods; Supplemented by Forty Original Card Experiments, published by Arthur H. Buckley in 1946. The book contains 302 photographs, a glossary of terms in 219-pages that are paperbound.
