Versatile Card Magic Revisited by Simon – PDF Download

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.
