"The very latest wrinkles in card magic. Hahne's Perfect Double Lift is worth more than the price of the book." - T. J. Crawford
"A beautiful-looking book containing effects that are also 'beautiful.' Hahne illustrates the book with 'Magical Maps,' each explaining a trick. Of his six, you card men will like the Double Card Lift and the Red and Black Mix-up the best, while the less skilled like myself will enjoy the Photographic Card and the Upside Down Mystery. Hull explains, for the first time in print, his Animated Chalk Marks, a fine effect for club or parlor. Of his other items, his own favorite is the 20th Century Spell, but my vote goes for Modern Television, a clever item that can be worked in a manner to leave them gasping." - Lloyd E Jones

"The tricks described are truly masterpieces of the card worker's art. Will be of benefit to every magician. Highly recommended." - W. W. Durbin

"Fresh ways of revealing selected cards, new and useful sleights, two exceptionally effective items requiring only standard apparatus, how to thoroughly shuffle and still keep the red and black cards apart, a spelling trick that is more diverse than any we've ever heard of, and a 'photographic' feat that reproduces not only the proper card but also the human hand that holds it. Don't pass this by." - Tom Bowyer
