“This book will open your mind and your card magic to some devastating techniques, methods, strategies and tricks with which to baffle both the layman and magician alike. Indispensable for the complete cardician.” -Phil Willmarth, The Linking Ring

“The familiar ways in which we tend to think about marked cards may suggest that the principle is a poor one, when in fact it is the application, an area in which we could all stand a better education. Mr. Charles has now provided us the textbook in that course of study, and I highly recommend you sign up immediately.” -Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii
