My name is Mark Lewis. This is the book that changed my life. In fact I suspect it changed the life of a lot of other card magicians too. The Royal Road to Card Magic was first published in 1949 and 70 years later it is still considered the standard work in card magic. A terrific study plan which if you follow carefully (as I did) you cannot possibly fail to achieve proficiency as a card magician. You can start the book knowing nothing about card tricks but by the time you get to the end you will become an expert. Of course a lot of things have happened in card magic over the last 70 years since the book was first published so I decided to add some of my own ideas, variations and improvements to the material which I have performed for decades. I must have done something right since legendary card magician and memory expert Harry Lorayne wrote this after reading my manuscript:
"It has been a long time since I couldn't sleep when I'd just acquired a new magic book - had to finish reading it before I turned off the bedside lamp and closed my eyes This book did it
I don't know what price Mark will put on this book, but whatever that price I assure you that it will be worth much, much, more for you than that amount (Aside from learning some terrific new ideas it brought back wonderful memories for me. I knew Jean Hugard and Fred Braue personally. I know that they'd be very pleased with what he's accomplished here.)
What a job he's done His annotations, updates, wonderfully clear and explicit photos, new ideas, and more, make this an absolute must-have.
I don't want to get specific - mentioning the many items that I found to be so great. It's better for you to come across all of them as you read, decide for yourself."
