"No, I didn't think so. Yet, I'm constantly amazed to discover how many otherwise knowing members of the conjuring fraternity pass up the opportunity to perform on the spur of the moment because they neglected to carry a little something on their person.

"Don't let this happen to you.

"Armed with one or more of Mr. Schoneck's entertaining effects as described in this book—and a deck of cards—you'll be armed and ready to unleash a miracle or two wherever people gather: at a party, the cocktail hour, your favorite watering hole, or when meeting with a reporter from the local press."

This book contains a dozen impromptu card magic miracles to amaze any audience. Edited by T. A. Whitney.
