Review by Rennie Parcesepe for Card Magic of Nick Trost by Nick Trost

5 out of 5 The Best Card Book EverThis is the best card book I own and my library exceeds 800 magic books. Most all the effects use sublety as opposed to sleight of hand. All the effects in the book are fantastic, I cannot find one I do not like.Click here for more information.

Review by Caine for Card Magic of Nick Trost by Nick Trost

4 out of 5 Good material – However, not hard hitting…I originally purchased this book because it discusses many slieghts used in most card magic. I was also short on budget and couldn’t afford the entire "Card College (Volumes 1-5)" by Roberto Giobbi at the time of purchase. The routines contained within "The Card Magic …

Blind-Sight by Nick Trost

Blind-Sight, which works entirely on the Gilbreath principle, was developed over a period of time. I came up with a new method for “mixing” the cards that I am quite pleased with. The “mix” appears so random that it is hard to conceive how the performer could know the location of any card. _EF Two …

Half and Half by Nick Trost

From Nick Trost’s wonderful Card Magic of Nick Trost. The idea for this effect was inspired after reading an ad for Bob Bell’s “Miracle Mates,” marketed by Micky Hades in 1963. The routine given here is that of Stewart Judah’s, and the idea for making the perfect set of half-cards comes from Paul Swinford. _EF …

Abra-Card-Abra by Nick Trost

From Nick Trost’s wonderful Card Magic of Nick Trost and Precursor X (January, 1986). This trick was inspired by Dai Vernon’s “Do as I Do,” which appeared in Hilliard’s Greater Magic (1938). _EF The performer hands a packet of red-backed cards to a spectator while he holds a packet of blue-backed cards. The spectator hands …

Technicolor Change by Nick Trost

From Nick Trost’s wonderful Card Magic of Nick Trost and Precursor X (January, 1986). The inspiration for this effect came from a letter sent to Nick from Bill Miesel in which he described a trick that Father Paul Zipfel performed to win the close-up contest at the 1966 I.B.M. Convention in Indianapolis. _EF “Technicolor Change” …
