Читать книгу Expert Card Technique - Jean Hugard - Страница 6

The authors wish to express their appreciation of the friendly spirit in which many of the tricks and sleights printed in this book were contributed by Bert Allerton, Theo Annemann, Cliff Green, Gerald L. Kaufman, Harold Lloyd, Jack McMillen, Jack Merlin, Paul Rosini, Dai Vernon and Luis Zingone.

They are particularly indebted to Charles Miller, who generously and freely gave of his favorite methods that this book might be that which the authors can only hope it will be—a comprehensive and lucid source book of expert card technique.

It was indeed a happy circumstance that Carl W. Jones of Minneapolis, accepted the manuscript for publication. Mr. Jones has endeared himself to magicians the world round for his editing and publishing of John N. Hilliard’s notable book, Greater Magic, a book that has established an all time record in popularity with magicians. It is Mr. Jones’ prediction and the authors’ wish, that Expert Card Technique will also become a standard book of card magic.
