This is an electronic facsimile of the first edition of this book that was published by Richard Kaufman in 1997. Now out of print, we are delighted to be able to offer this publication as a PDF, and we thank Richard Kaufman for suggesting and supporting this venture.

 

 

 

 

Welcome to Effortless Card Magic. As the title suggests, there is not one difficult trick in this book. There are some that are entirely automatic in their handling, while others use a few basic moves. The title, "Self-Working," is a misleading one, and I threw that out before I had even started work on the book. For example, does that mean that we can put the deck on the table, leave and have a cup of coffee, while the deck entertains the audience? The audience cannot be entertained unless we present the effect to them. So, even the most automatic of card tricks, requires you to work on its presentation. As my friend Gordon Bruce once told me, "There is no such thing as a self-working card trick." I think he was right.

In my introduction to Duffie's Card Compulsions, I said, "During the planning of this book, avoided any segmentation of the tricks into chapters.../ personally find it rather arduous plowing through a whole chapter of four ace tricks, followed by a chapter of sandwich tricks." However, I found it difficult to apply that approach to this book. Therefore, I slotted each effect loosely into a category. I think most chapters contain a fairly wide variety of effects and methods.

I have added a small chapter at the beginning describing some fundamental moves. This may help readers who are not familiar with full deck retention shuffles and cuts. Any other simple moves are explained within the trick. Most of the routines are appearing here for the first time, with only a few having been in print before. So, I hope you are able to find something of interest. At least you will not break your fingers as you work your way through!

Here is a brief guide to the 'effortless' navigation system in this PDF.

Hyper-links: The Table of Contents is fully hyper-linked. Every entry in the Table of Contents links to the starting page of the trick.

Link-back function: At the bottom of any page (not just the last page of a section) you can click on the page number and you will be instantly taken back to the Table of Contents.

Text Searchable: The PDF is fully word-searchable using the FIND function in Adobe Reader.
