The Royal Road To Card Magic - Jean Hugard

Originally published in 1948, The Royal Road to Card Magic by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braué, has become a classic in the field of conjuring and sleight-of-hand.

Highly regarded for its clear explanations (with over 120 excellent illustrations by Frank Rigney) and a progressive approach, the book starts with basic techniques and gradually advances to more complex tricks and routines.

Covering a wide range of topics, including shuffling, dealing, false cuts, forces, and various flourishes, it is essential reading whether you're just starting your magical journey or seeking to refine your skills. This remastered edition includes the original 1948 work, unabridged, with careful amends to text for clarity.
