INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC EDITION Welcome to Effortless Card Magic Electronic Edition. This is an electronic facsimile of the first edition of this book that was published by Richard Kaufman in 1997. Now out of print, I am delighted to be able to offer this publication as a PDF, and I thank Richard Kaufman for suggesting and supporting this venture. Here is a brief guide to the navigation system in this PDF. ___________________________________ Hyper-links: The Table of Contents is fully hyper-linked. Every entry in the Table of Contents links to the starting page of the trick. Link-back function: At the bottom of any page (not just the last page of a section) you can click on the page number and you will be instantly taken back to the Table of Contents. Text Searchable: The PDF is fully word-searchable using the FIND function in Adobe. ___________________________________ I hope you enjoy the book and I thank you for purchasing it.
