La Magie de Cartes Vol 1

Despite its name, La Magie des Cartes, is an English book. It  was penned by Frenchman Etienne Pradier, who now resides in London. He  is certainly one of the UK's most successful professional magicians.

While Etienne has previously released a number of sets of lecture  notes (all of which contain some great magic), this is Etienne's first  major book. It contains a collection of card tricks, plus some very  useful information and advice for working magicians.  Etienne is a true  worker and this shows both in his magic and in his advice.

All of the effects are from Etienne's professional repertoire and all  the tips hints and pieces of advice are from his experience of  performing in the 'real world'. So here you get lots of great  professional and highly commercial routines as well as some very sage  advice and hilarious stories from the life of a very busy working  Magician.

Included are effects such as a stunning take on the torn and restored  card, a wonderful finale for the Cavorting Aces, a delightfully simple  change effect of Kings to Aces, an amazing four Ace routine and so much  more. If you perform card magic for real audiences, we think that you  couldn't go far wrong learning from Etienne Pradier.
