If you read by my books, you already know Marty Kane. One-man inserts in The Trapdoor and one-man chapters in Semi-Automatic Card Tricks. This is a NEW (as in not-used) book. It's also a NEW (as in just released) book of 68 card tricks - 49 without sleight of hand, 41 impromptu. Hardbound, 224 pages and 80 photos. Limited supply. Foreword by Peter Duffie. Introduction by Steve Beam.

"Dealing! Counting! Cyclical stacks! Mathematics! The stuff of entertaining, deceptive card magic Many would say 'No way' without a further thought and turn up their noses, but they're the deprived souls who are unfamiliar with the quirky creations of Marty Kane. His special brand of gullery, evidenced in spades in Card ChiKANEry, combines outrageous patter, offbeat presentations and wily principles into befuddling foolers that are fun to fiddle with and fun to perform: novel and original card magic with a sense of humor!"- J.K. Hartman
