The entire run of The Cardiste, a wonderful magazine from the 1950s, now on PDF on CD, along with thirty other effects by its editor, the legendary Rusduck (J. Russell Duck). The set includes material by Vernon, Elmsley, and other names. Here are some highlights from our package: Over 200 pages of material, more than 90 card routines, convenient PDF format on CD, the complete original 11 issues of Rusduck's Cardiste with effects by Dai Vernon, Alex Elmsley, and other card stars, over 30 additional effects by Rusduck, biography of Rusduck, and indexed for easy access. An essential reference source for the serious card magician! Rusduck (J. Russell Duck, 1909-1959) was a Pennsylvania police chief who wrote one of magic's most articulate magazines, The Cardiste, before his early death at 49. His pioneering work with stacked decks and gambling demonstrations in his hand-typed journal and other magazines still resonates in today's card magic. This CD features more than ninety effects, many of them self-working, with the emphasis on strong presentations and routining. Rusduck emphasized clear themes and powerful climax routines, and both the working professional and the hardcore card expert will find dozens of enticing effects here.
