![]() ![]() Offering the most foolproof methods available, Jean Hugard and Fredrick Braue explain such basic manipulations as the palm, the shuffle, the lift, the side slip, the pass, the glimpse, the jog, and the reverse. This means the proper instruction book, and practice.In this definitive work on card technique, step-by-step instructions teach you the correct methods for the basic manipulations and the more advanced flourishes, and only then allow you to learn tricks. The way out of this dilemma, however, is not immediate, but it is reliable: a surer mastery of technique. You may try to cover up by doing a more difficult trick and fail again.

THE SIDE STEAL AND SOME OF ITS FINER POINTS, BY DR. Strangely, Hugard and Braue linked no creator's name with any of this breakthrough material." I observed this from my own experiences with Charlie, and received corroboration of it from the late Dai Vernon, who was Charlie's friend and companion for many years. The opening chapter, entitled "The Secret Lifts," contains nine pages of revolutionary approaches to double turnover sleights, which I can attest were originated by Charlie. Over the years, insiders have come to believe that much of the uncredited material was created by Charlie Miller. Other names listed in the contents are Dai Vernon, Cliff Green, Jack McMillen, Paul Rosini, Bert Allerton, Gerald Kaufman, and comedian-movie star Harold Lloyd. Seven are attributed to Charlie's good friend Louis Zingone, and eleven to Charlie himself, making him the major acknowledged contributor to the book. For example, Hugard is credited with six items, Braue with four.

He also divulged some Dai Vernon material to Fred Braue that was not supposed to be published, but which Braue put into the book anyway. Miller gave many of his favorite methods for the book. Many of the items in the book which are not specifically credited have been suspected to that of Dai Vernon and Charlie Miller.Ĭharlie Miller was said to be responsible for contributing many of the original material and for ghosting almost half of the book. The book, illustrated by Donna Allen, is broken down into six parts: (1) Sleights, (2) Flourishes, (3) Technique, (4) Tricks, (5) Miscellaneous, and (6) Misdirection and Presentation. ![]()
