SYNOPSIS:
Deck-Sterity is Harry Lorayne’s fourth major card magic book and continues his tradition of teaching practical, commercial card routines designed for real-world performance. The book contains more than forty effects, sleights, utility moves, and presentations, ranging from ingenious double-lift techniques and color changes to Ace routines, poker demonstrations, revelations, sandwich effects, and mental card mysteries. While primarily devoted to card magic, Lorayne also includes a handful of non-card items and utility concepts that can be applied across close-up magic. As with all of Lorayne’s writing, the emphasis is on natural handling, strong audience impact, and clear instruction, making Deck-Sterity a valuable addition to the working card magician’s library.
