Andrus Card Control - SIGNED (Vol 1 and 2) by Jerry Andrus - Book
PLEASE NOTE: These copies come from a collection. They are in very good to great shape. Book one is signed to "David Grand" by Jerry Andrus himself. On the "copy number" page, it is dated instead of being numbered "22 Feb 1996." Please refer to the pictures and feel free to call us with any questions before making your purchase.
Jerry Andrus was an incredible creative and inquisitive man. He could converse just as easily on questions surrounding quantum mechanics as he could on magic and optical illusions. He looked at a deck of cards very differently than most of us. This allowed him to create unique and astonishing moves and applications for them. Anybody seriously interested in sleight-of-hand card magic should study this most important publication by Jerry Andrus.
Andrus saw the deck in a different way to anyone else we know. He found interesting ways to shuffle, palm, reverse, pass and change cards. They're all detailed here.
Volume one contains the text. Volume two contains over 1,050 line art illustrations by the author.
