This is Swain's second (and, we think, BEST) book. It is full of the kind of practical yet sophisticated card magic you'll use and ENJOY using. Swain's routines are longer, multi-phased, and have a strong commercial appeal. Think Ortiz meets Bannon meets Regal. We're both huge fans of Jim Swain, and this is the book that fetches the most on ebay, because it's rarest and most sought after.

James Swain's book - Miracle with Cards - has stunningly effective simple card routines. Improve your sleight-of-hand card skills immediately and with ease. Thorough instructions with photo illustrated explanations to learn.
From Introduction by Darwin Ortiz:
"What I like about this book is that it lives up to its title. These are card tricks that go for the jugular, tricks that push the boundaries of what's possible with a deck of cards. In so doing, they ensure that the audience will remember the magic and the magician."

I love this type of magic book. Some interesting effects and plots. New ideas and moves I have not seen in other card books. It's well written. The photos are ok and does the trick. This is an older type of publication style compared to some of the modern styles but that said I loved reading and exploring this book. I can highly recommend it. There are some difficult stuff in here but also others that are fairly easy. A great book!
Three quotes from the book that will make you buy it.“You should be the very best close up performer you can because, chances are, you will be one of the very few your audiences will ever see”“Becoming proficient in sleight of hand does not have a price tag except for years of hard labor” “Musicians cannot steal each other’s songs (it’s illegal), and writers cannot steal each other’s stories or characters. If magicians want to be considered artists, then they must abide by these rules as well. If they don’t, the art suffers, and relegates those who perform it to a second class status” This is not a theory book, but those lines are very strong and real. The magic is very good, there is an essay on the Classic Pass that worth reading it.
