In Robert E. Neale's world, playing cards appear, vanish, turn over, multiply, change and identify themselves to the magician, all in very mysterious ways. But if that were all they did, this book would be little different from hundreds of others on card tricks. What is unique in Robert E. Neale's world is that, while the cards do all these things they also tell stories, arouse emotions, explore the mysteries of life and death, and leave their viewers feeling just a bit altered by the experience. These are card tricks that entertain in ways that are rare and fascinating. Over 60 new presentations with normal playing cards, 441 pages, 164 illustrations, hardcover. This is a GENTLY USED copy of this highly sought after out of print book.
