3.0 out of 5 stars Ok Book, July 12, 2002

This review is from: Blackstone's Modern Card Tricks (Paperback)

Ummm, I didn't really like this book too much. It's card tricks were just, well, to put it straight to you, weird. I'm not really sure how a card trick qualifies as "weird," but the ones in this book do...like throwing Threes in the air so that as they spin while falling, they look like aces (part of a trick). Some of the beginner tricks are WAY to easy to figure out, and some of the advanced tricks just are too complicated with not enough effect. You'd be better off with Hugard's and Braue's stuff. This book just doesn't cut it for me...and it also doesn't have many illustrations either (barely any). So, if you like "weird" card tricks, then go for this. But I wouldn't strongly recommend it...however, it is I guess a good reference book for any magician's library.
