Trost knows how to construct entertaining card magic…” “The student of magic will find a great deal of valuable information in this book … Mr. (He) is one of my heroes in card magic… Nick’s fertile imagination has created some of the most truly memorable effects during the past few decades…” “The name Nick Trost has always been synonymous with good, simple and commercial magic. But, that (I guess) is just a mere bonus. If, along the way, it happens to fool other magicians-fine. He’s kept his eye on the ball that magic is to entertain (and mystify) laymen with.

Once again there are over 100 tricks, this time collected in 13 chapters covering Gambling Tricks, Poker Puzzles, Divinations, Gilbreath Tricks, Predictions, Coincidences, ESP tricks and more. As in the other volumes in the series these routines rely on subtle moves and principles rather than difficult sleight of hand.
Nick Trost’s Subtle Card Creations series of easy-to-do card effects continues with Volume 8.
