The Expert at the Card Table

This is for those looking to buy the now iconic green coloured edition hardback- this is not it. It’s a different design entirely.I believe the text inside to be utterly faithful to the original first edition but aesthetically it looks nothing like it. You can see a reworked dust jacket design in the preview on this page but the beautiful green hardback with the rectangular logo which has been constantly referenced over the years is not underneath. It’s a grey hardback with a simple spine. I found this really disappointing as that’s the entire reason why anyone would buy this exact edition. It’s supposed to be a replica.Why would anyone buy a £30 edition of a book which can be bought easily for £7? Because the edition is faithful to the design of the original, which has became totally iconic amongst people who love cards. That’s what’s being advertised in the blurb here and unfortunately not what you get.This is reworked aesthetically and as a result I don’t understand why it exists as a supposedly faithful recreation. I know it’s pretentious to even buy an edition like this, but if you’re going to do it- do it right.

Lovely item arrived in good time

Fab loved it

One of the best books about magic, Great quality print

This is truly an amazing book created by one of the most unknown but at the same time most iconic names in the magic community. I'm so glad I was able to find this piece of art for such a good price, loved it. Solid 9/10

there is no greater magic book, it is just the ultimate one. it covers almost all the slights i know of (thats a lot) and there are some very ingenious card trick in there.

It's amazing if your into magic but it is the 'expert 'at the card table so it is difficult to read and understand

Bought for my son who is obsessed with magic, he was really pleased with it. Recommended.
