How many times have you heard, “I’d hate to play cards with you?” Well, in the last few years, that question has changed to, “I’d hate to play poker with you.” Maybe our audiences are trying to tell us something…
We now have Tom Frame’s wonderful book put out by Vanishing Inc. This book is beautiful, and the material wonderful. There are straight poker demo type effects, transformations, and predictions. Even mentalists will get a ton of mileage out of “Texas Fool ‘Em” by Larry Becker and Lee Earle, especially if hired to work an event in a casino.
There’s knuckle busting stuff, self working stuff, and everything in between. The text is well written and the photos are clearer than clear. There is even a brief history of poker by Jason England in the back of the book, as well as quotes about poker, and Hole Card Nicknames. This is more than enough information to make you look like a card expert when you perform any of these effects.
If you are a card magic fan, or a working pro who uses cards (which is pretty much all of you) you will benefit from having an effect or two from this book ‘up your sleeve’ for the next time someone says, “I’d hate to play Hold ‘Em with you…”
Five Stars
