Starting off right can be done in a variety of ways depending on your desires and how much you are willing to invest to start out. In the following couple of paragraphs we will look at a variety of books: those that will prove helpful to the beginner and provide a firm grounding in the art, those that will provide further instruction and a thorough understanding of the art, and, finally, books for the accomplished card handler. The secret is in the details and, for the most part, the best way to acquire the knowledge of these details is through books. You need to know how to get in and get out of a move, where and how to direct your audience’s attention so that you present the audience with a fluid picture that looks whole to them but leaves plenty of room for you to hide the method, all while presenting the effect in an entertaining manner. In The Expert at the Card Table, under the heading “Importance of Details”, Erdnase writes, “The finished card expert considers nothing too trivial that in any way contributes to his success, whether in avoiding or allaying suspicion, or in the particular manner of carrying out each detail or in leading up to, or executing, each artifice.”Learning things the right way means learning every aspect of a move or routine.
