Versatile Card Magic Revisited by Simon – PDF Download

In 1981, a new publishing house quietly introduced a groundbreaking book on card magic by an unknown author. Today, Frank Simon’s Versatile Card Magic is hailed as a modern classic. Those fortunate enough to possess the original edition recognize that Frank’s techniques are ingenious, producing effects that astonish both magicians and spectators. Now, the long-awaited edition of Frank’s elusive work is here. The text has been meticulously revised, rewritten where necessary, and entirely re-typeset. The original 111 images have been upgraded to 283 stunning, high-resolution photographs. The only constant remains Frank’s exceptional magic and the iconic Jerry’s Nugget cards featured throughout.
