Art of Magic and Sleight of Hand

Sleight of hand rewards patience more than natural talent, and Nicholas Einhorn's guide breaks the classic effects down move by move. Instruction runs from beginner card handling and coin work through to mentalism and more demanding illusions, with step-by-step photography showing hand positions at each stage. Alongside the mechanics, Einhorn covers misdirection and the psychology that makes an audience believe what it sees, so the reader learns presentation as well as technique. Published by Southwater Books. What the format offers: • Numbered photographic steps for each trick, from grip to reveal • Card, coin and mentalism routines graded from simple to advanced • Guidance on misdirection, timing and audience attention • Technique drills that build control before performance Suited to beginners learning their first routines and hobbyists sharpening existing ones, this Southwater Books title is available from Boipoka.
