Card Stories - Ariel Frailich (Numbered 1st ed.)

Card Stories is a practical book about card tricks, presentations, and creativity. Every trick is described with a complete, fully scripted presentation, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of the trick. Not only will you learn strong tricks with memorable presentations, but you’ll gain insights that can help bring your own creations to life.

The tricks feature simple, direct plots that every spectator can follow: Ambitious Card, Card to Mouth, the Collectors, Card through Table, Cannibal Cards, and more. Most tricks can be performed at a moment’s notice, even with a borrowed deck. The handlings are streamlined and require only average card handling ability.

The presentations frame the tricks with stories that interest and touch the audience and helps spectators remember you. The stories use familiar plots: childhood and comic-strip heroes, cannibals and technology, kings and crooks. And more. The stories provide logical reasons for every action, and emotional hooks that make even blasé spectators sit up and take notice.
