The Last Word on Cards
W.F. (Rufus) Steele
Magico Magazine Edition
Softcover, Copyright 1952, 63 Pages

Step back in time to a Golden Age of Card Magic - the early 1950s - and a compilation of baffling, nearly self-working card effects from legendary card men, like Ed Marlo, Dai Vernon, Al Leech, Johnny Platt, Dr. Jacob Daley, Audley Walsh, Oscar Weigle, Eddie Fields, Bill Simon, Bert Allerton, and others; as well as Bob Hummer and even Robert Nelson. Compiled by Rufus Steele, all of the effects in this book are audience-tested miracles that place an emphasis on subtlety over sleight of hand. You'll even find the original "Moe and Sam," the forerunner to Frank Everhart's Sam the Bellhop routine. Plus, Senator Crandall's hilarious explanation of "An Impossible Transposition," by an old magician with one arm by the name of Lester Overton...he couldn't remember the name of the other arm! If you're looking for a presentation for your magic club friends, this one will have them rolling in the aisles. Packed with strong card magic from cover to cover. Foreword by Frances Ireland. Don't miss this one!
