Nice book.

I'm reading it at the minute; some really good stuff and plenty of material.  "52 ways to cheat at poker" is a nice compliament to that; not as much content (and a lot of interesting, if useless stuff as well) but it's very well explained and has som more up-to-date examples of sleights explained in Erdnase.

Scarne on Card Tricks is a great book for magic tricks.  It doesn't have slight of hand, but I use some of those tricks every day.

Yes that book is really funny.
I'm not regret buying it.
