This book is pretty difficult if you're just starting out, but if you've been performing card magic for awhile, go for it. Waving the Aces is one of the easiest effects out of the book and Oil and Water is easy too because it uses sleights from Wave the Arses, There's also Reformation which is intermediate, but the hard effects are not effects it's actually the sleights and the gambling demonstrations. If you don't know any gambling moves, miracle switch, second deal, etc, then don't buy the book because it'll only keep you wondering and therefore going on youtube just to find out, which is bad so I don't recommend doing that. Any more questions just pm me please.
