CHAPTER I
NECESSARY SLEIGHTS
As I've said, I do not care for magic books that leave out im-
portant sleights. Although I also said that I had to take it for
granted that you all knew the standard ones—I am giving here, the
fundamentals of a couple of sleights which are mentioned through-
out the book. Also, I am including a list of where in the book, and
in the descriptions of which tricks—you will find certain other
moves explained.
I do this so that when you read that you are to use a particular
sleight, you will know just where to find it. In this way, I can feel
that this book is complete unto itself.
HINDU SHUFFLE
This is simply another form of the overhand shuffle. The right
hand holds the deck, from above, near the inner ends. The thumb
is on one side, second finger on the other.
The left hand approaches the deck, palm up. It reaches up
from under the deck, so that the bottom card is facing the left
palm. The thumb and fingers grasp small packets of cards from the
top
of the deck. (See Fig. 1.) As these packets are taken, they are
allowed to fall into the left palm. The left forefinger should be at
the center of the outer end of these cards as they fall. This acts as
a stop, to keep the cards from falling out of the hand. (See Fig. 2.)
There are two ways of looking at this. Either the left hand
keeps moving back and forth, taking the groups of cards, or, the
left fingers merely grasp the cards and the right hand moves back
