Trickery Treats Card Craft by J.K. Hartman

PDF Available

Nearly a decade ago, J.K. Hartman’s groundbreaking work, Card Craft, was released, marking a significant milestone in card magic literature. Spanning 700 pages, it became the largest book dedicated exclusively to card tricks. Now out of print, it commands prices exceeding a hundred dollars among collectors. Following its success, the acclaimed sequel, After Craft, debuted in 1995. However, the pinnacle of Hartman’s contributions is undoubtedly Trickery Treats, a stunning 240-page hardcover filled with extraordinary card magic.

Richard Kaufman, who has been diligently publishing Genii, The Conjuror’s Magazine, has also managed to bring this remarkable book to life. Trickery Treats features over 61 innovative tricks, each illustrated with more than 650 drawings by the talented Joseph K. Schmidt. A standout feature is the “Process of Elimination,” an exceptional equivoque method that narrows down 52 options to a single card effortlessly—no skill required. The cards remain untouched by the performer, and each copy includes a separately printed gimmicked script.

This expansive 240-page book promises to deliver not only captivating reading but also impressive magic to showcase during the holiday season. It’s the perfect gift for any magician in your life!
