I am looking for suggestions on resources (preferably books) for powerful self-working card tricks. Anything from simple effects to stack work. Any advice is much appreciated.
I don't have them, but I've heard good things of Scarne on Card Tricks and the Card College Light series.
Juan Tamariz’s has some beautiful automatic tricks in his book Sonata.
That is cruel .... Sonata is long out of print.
I've read that there's a reprint in the pipeline for a decade or so?
Maybe now that The Magic Way is finally out they'll be focusing on the reprint of Sonata?
At least, I'm hoping they're working on it, I would love to get it
What about Mnemonica by Juan Tamariz, I heard it great.
Lucky to have this book, Neither Blind Nor Silly is a prime self-working effect. A slight modification can set you up for doing an Out of This World type effect right after. A super solid one-two punch!Juan Tamariz’s has some beautiful automatic tricks in his book Sonata.
Ooops! Sorry, I forgot that in Italy a local publishing house has recently print/it’s printing some copies of thatThat is cruel .... Sonata is long out of print.
Glad you found it helpful!I'm a big fan of self-working card tricks too. Thank you for sharing this very interesting list.
