The Jumbo Book of Card Tricks & Games

by Bob Longe

With more games than you ever knew existed and as many tricks as a professional magician has up his sleeve, this super-huge collection gives you days' and days' worth of fun! Some take as little as 10 minutes, for others you'll need to master some rules first, but when you get in the swing of it you'll never put down that deck of cards. Try rummy, poker, euchre, whist, and hearts--all the basic games, with all the instructions and scoring procedures--as well as solitaire for those moments when you're alone. But, when you've got an audience, put on a show with such card capers as "I Love the Piano," where you transfer a card from one pile to another with a magical "snap" of the fingers. You won't ever want to stop playing!

As this was a gift, I just scanned through it and only read sections of the book. What I saw and read impressed me!
This looks like it would be a great deal of fun for anyone who is into card tricks, no matter if they are a beginner or more advanced at them. The instructions appear clear and helpful.
As far as the games go, there is a lot of variety when it comes to card games. There are games that are solo or ones with multiple players. Again, the instructions, rules and such appear to be clear and easy to follow so that anyone can learn the games.
This is a wonderful book and with so much packed into it, it is sure to keep a person or family busy for quite a while!
