Tricks with small packets of cards are very popular. Packets are easy to carry and provide some of the most impressive effects possible. Packet Tricks contains a batch of great tricks by well-known card men.

One part of the book is devoted to tricks which can be done with cards removed from a regular deck of cards. The second part of the book describes tricks which require some sort of special cards. In some cases, the "special" may just be a duplicate card or a card with an odd back. A few routines require double faced cards or other unusual cards.

The book is intended as a companion book to the authors book, Counts, Cuts, Moves and Subtlety. Anyone familiar with the various secret counts used in packet magic should be able to read Packet Trick and understand everything described in the book. Soft-bound and completely illustrated.
