Magic Video - Expert at the Card Table by Wesley James ( 7 Vols , ) (Digital Download)

Master the Secrets of Card Magic's 'Bible'

For generations, S.W. Erdnase's 'Expert at the Card Table' has stood as the undisputed foundational text for serious card magicians and manipulators. Revered as 'THE CARD MAGIC BIBLE,' its pages contain the core principles and techniques that define modern card sleight-of-hand. However, the original work is notoriously challenging to decipher and even more difficult to execute from text alone. Aspiring card experts have long yearned for a true master to bridge the gap between Erdnase's written word and practical, flawless performance. Today, that wait is over.

This isn't just a rehash; it's a deep dive into the 'real work,' offering crystal-clear, visual instruction that reveals exactly how each move should look and, crucially, how to perform it correctly. You'll not only learn the original methods but also benefit from Wesley's unique handlings, invaluable insights, and years of performance experience, ensuring you develop a truly professional command of the techniques.

A Comprehensive Journey Through Card Mastery

The 'Magic Video - Expert at the Card Table' series takes you on an unparalleled journey, starting with the history of the book and progressing through every critical aspect of card manipulation. From the Erdnase system of blind shuffles, riffles, and cuts to advanced dealing techniques like bottom and second dealing, stocking, and culling, no stone is left unturned. You'll master various forms of palming, complex shifts, changes, and transformations, culminating in sophisticated routines for both entertainment and mentalism. Each volume systematically builds your skills, making even the most daunting sleights accessible.
