Expert At The Card Table by Dover Erdnase

\n

Das klassische Lehrbuch zur Kartenmanipulation für fast ein Jahrhundert unentbehrlich. In ihm lehrt S.W. Erdnase, ein Meister der Kartenmanipulation, Kartenliebhabern, wie sie die beeindruckenden Tricks und Fingerspitzengefühl-Bewegungen ausführen können, die ihn berühmt gemacht haben.

\n

Die erste Section handelt von Tischkartenkunst, also im Klartext: Kartenspielernсход. Schritt für Schritt demonstriert Mr. Erdnase seine Systeme der falschen Mischen, Falsches Riffeln und Schneiden, das Dealen aus dem Unteren und geschickte Bewegungen wie Kartenpalmen, "Handverkleidung," sogar Drei-Karten-Monte.

\n

Die zweite Section befasst sich mit Legerdemain: der Kunst des Zwingens von Karten, Ein- und Zweihändiger Transformationen, dem listigen "Slide" und mehr. Kartenbearbeiter werden Erdnases Auswahl von beeindruckenden Kartentricks lieben, darunter die Akrobatischen Könige, das Exklusive Gesellschaft, der Divinierungsrohr, das unsichtbare Flugzeug, eine Gedankenlesende Taktik und vieles mehr.

\n

In einem informativen Vorwort zu dieser Ausgabe berichtet Martin Gardner über die unglücklichen Details des Autors' persönlicher Lebens und erzählt die Geschichte dieses berühmten Buches, dessen Methoden, behauptet Mr. Gardner, "heute genauso nützlich für Magier und Kartenspieler sind wie 1902." Dieses Buch ist immer noch das Bibel der Kartenmechanik und ein Genuss beim Lesen, genau wie in den frühen Jahren des Jahrhunderts.

\n

"Das Expert at the Card Table ist das bekannteste, sorgfältigste Buch, je veröffentlicht über die Kunst der Kartenmanipulation am Tisch." - aus dem Vorwort von Martin Gardner

The Classic Treatise On Card Manipulation

For almost a century, this book has been considered indispensable to attaining the highest level of card mastery. In it, S.W. Erdnase, a supreme master of card manipulation, teaches card enthusiasts how to perform the dazzling tricks and sleights-many of them how own creations-that made him famous.

The first section of the book deals with card table artifice, or, to put it more bluntly, cheating at cards. Step by step, Mr. Erdnase demonstrates his own systems of false shuffling, false riffling and cutting, dealing from the bottom and such slick moves as palming cards, "skinning the hand," even three-card monte.

The second section covers legerdemain: the art of forcing a card, one- and two-hand transformations, the devious "slide" and more. Card handlers will love Erdnase's selection of dazzling card tricks, including The Acrobatic Jacks, The Exclusive Coterie, The Divining Rod, The Invisible Flight, a Mind Reading Tick and many others.

In an informative foreword to this edition, Martin Gardner relates the unhappy details of the author's personal life, and recounts the history of this famous book, whose methods, Mr. Gardner asserts, "are as useful today by magicians and card hustlers as they were in 1902. This book is still the bible of card 'mechanics,' and as much a delight to read as it was in the early years of this century."

"The Expert at the Card Table is the most famous, carefully studied book ever published on the art of manipulating cards at gaming tables." -from the Foreword by Martin Gardner
