Summary: Excellent Bar none
Review: Best introductory/intermediate book to card magic .. Book I say, I think for me at least the DVD/videos out there that display actual sleights are a better tool.
RRTCM has a few nice tricks in it also some that are older than the trees but they still amaze most laymen.

Summary: This book is eternal
Review: I found this book back in 1976, when I was becoming intrested in card/parlour tricks. I wasn't amazed to see that this book was still in circulation - because it provides excellent instructions on the basics of card tricks, while it offers detailed drawings and it also provides moves that the experienced person can you to improve their skills.If your intrested in card magic - this is the first book you should buy. There are several great books - but this is one that should be on every magician's book shelf.

Summary: Royal Road to Card Magic
Review: I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone wishing to enter the world of card magic. It teaches you right from the basics through to some VERY impressive tricks.
I was so glad to start my magical journey with the Royal Road to Card Magic by Jean Hugard & Frederick Braue

Summary: A must have
Review: I'm ashamed to admit that this wasn't the first card trick book I ever bought. This book walks you through every amateur sleight of hand any card-magician-to-be could ever hope to learn with a bounty of helpful illustrations, along with very deep text. While some of it is a little difficult to wade through, it is well worth the effort. The tricks, with rare exception, are excellent, and the way in which they are taught is very user-friendly. Instead of teaching seven or eight sleights of hand at once, this book teaches you one, then a few tricks using that sleight. Then it teaches you another, and then some more tricks. If you're just looking into card magic for the very first time, or are an advanced magician, this book will prove to be both fun and informative - a must have.

Summary: Indispensable
Review: I've always been fascinated by magic tricks, but it wasn't until about a month or so ago that I finally decided to try learning to do them myself. I bought a couple decks of cards and I searched around the Amazon website for different magic books; I ended up buying this one as well as a few others. Having already read several of them, all I can say is that, for the incredible amount of information contained within this book, it is well worth the price. A few of the books I purchased were a bit overwhelming, but not this one. The instructions for learning the different sleights are presented in such a way that I felt very comfortable picking up a deck of cards even though I had almost no previous experience. Within a day, I was able to do one or two of the first tricks in the book, and since then I've learned several more. I know the other reviewers have mentioned this, but one truly great thing about this book is that the difficulty level of the sleights actually progresses reasonably as you make your way through it. There's one trick in here-the pass-that it says could take at least a couple of months to get right! This is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it to anyone even slightly interested in learning card tricks.
