Introduction

Welcome to CARD MAGIC USA.

Following the success of Scotland Up Close, England Up Close, and other ebook projects that featured only UK-based magicians, I decided to embark on a new publishing venture, this time featuring card magic from the United States of America. The enthusiastic response from those I contacted has resulted in this superb collection of Card routines and Sleights. I am also delighted and honored to include material from friends who are no longer with us: Gene Maze, Frank Thompson, Michael Skinner, Paul Swinford and Roger Klause. To navigate this ebook, simply go to the Contents page (next page) and click on a name or effect. The hyperlink will take you straight to the desired page. At the end of each effect & chapter, you will see an up-arrow . any arrow will return you to the Table of Contents. While this electronic book is copyright Peter Duffie, each article is strictly copyrighted by the contributor. No extracts may be taken from this publication without the permission of the copyright holder. All manufacturing rights are reserved by the contributor. I would like to thank Mike Vance for proofreading and editing this book. So, I will leave you now to enjoy this unique collection of American card magic.
