## Description

The Royal Road to Card Magic [Hugard, Jean, Braué, Frederick] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Royal Road to Card Magic

Review: Amazing Book for Beginners - As a beginner magician, I could not be happier that I have found this book. When one first begins his journey into prestidigitation, it is normal to be completely overwhelmed with the mass of sources that claim to teach you the magic you need. The latest culprit of this are the videos that make the promise of mastery of a particular trick within X minutes of watching. RRTCM takes this premise, and completely negates it, despite having been written much prior to the thought of such an idea. Hugard & Braue dispense of the notion that a good magician is one who knows a thousand tricks, for a thousand tricks equate none if you cannot perform them correctly. Each chapter introduces a feature of card handling, whether it be shuffles (overhand, riffle, hindu), flourishes, passes, glimpses, etc. Then, at the end of the chapter, the authors provide a handful of tricks that are performed due to that certain sleight you just learned. The authors instruct you to read the book in order, making sure not to rush ahead, almost as if you were studying for a college class. If you take this approach, it will seem dull at first, but it will make you a better magician, I promise you. To sum it all up, there is a reason this is called the Bible of Card Magic. Whether you're new to the field of card magic, or a seasoned veteran, this book should be the first in your library.
Review: Fantastic Book - Classical work. You progress from the very basics through advanced techniques. Explanations and images work well together to ensure proper form and technique

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent learning tool
*by P***A on October 7, 2012*

While "The Royal Road" may be neither royal nor a road, it is an excellent book for beginning and intermediate magicians. It covers a wide variety of both techniques and tricks, and is highly recommended for every magician's library. As much as I enjoy my Kindle, this is one book I wish I'd purchased in "hard copy", to be able to pass on to my granddaughter.
