From the After Craft "Buyers Guide": "This book is a sequel to Card Craft--Collected Trickery, published in 1991. An advance reading of that volume or a knowledge of its contents, however, is not assumed or required. Necessary moves and sleights described in the earlier book are re-described in full, either in the introductory chapter (Covering all Basics) or in the body of a trick, although (unlike Card Craft) a general compendium of standard sleights is not included." Hartmans Card Craft has become a modern day classic of magical literature. After Craft is an equally fine publication. All cards, all fascinating, and all expertly described and illustrated. A Kaufman and Greenberg book.
