Summary: A must have
Comment: I'm ashamed to admit that this wasn't the first card trick book I ever bought. This book walks you through every amateur sleight of hand any card-magician-to-be could ever hope to learn with a bounty of helpful illustrations, along with very deep text. While some of it is a little difficult to wade through, it is well worth the effort. The tricks, with rare exception, are excellent, and the way in which they are taught is very user-friendly. Instead of teaching seven or eight sleights of hand at once, this book teaches you one, then a few tricks using that sleight. Then it teaches you another, and then some more tricks.
If you're just looking into card magic for the very first time, or are an advanced magician, this book will prove to be both fun and informative - a must have.

Summary: A Wonderful Book For Magicians of All Kinds
Comment: This is the book that got me seriously started with card magic, and I still learn something every time I pick it up.
It teaches the basics of card magic: shuffles, palming, the pass, glimpses, etc. But more importantly, it covers the real secret of magic: how to entertain and amaze. There is more to a card trick than meets the eye, and this book covers those things.
Each chapter teaches a sleight (or sleights) or a principle of magic, and then a trick (or tricks) utilizing that sleight.
I still use some of the tricks from this book in my performances. The tricks taught are all excellent and absolute stunners in the right hands.
Besides the general chapters, there are two chapters on flourishes, one on routining an act, and one on platform tricks.
I highly recommend this book to all students of magic. It is a classic, and an excellent choice for the beginner. Even if you are an expert, you should own this book, as it will enrich you as a magician.
The Royal Road to Card Magic is one of my favorite books in my magic library.

Summary: Excellent Bar none
Comment: Best introductory/intermediate book to card magic .. Book I say, I think for me at least the DVD/videos out there that display actual sleights are a better tool.
RRTCM has a few nice tricks in it also some that are older than the trees but they still amaze most laymen.
