This book contains 86 card tricks and is available in both ebook/Kindle format as well as a printed spiral-bound version. 73 of the tricks were created by Al Thatcher (71 in the main book and 2 bonus tricks in the addendum). 13 tricks are from the fertile minds of more recognizable names in magic.
Seventy-three (73) of the tricks were created by a magician by the name of Al Thatcher, well known in the Columbus, Ohio area. Al was a good friend and cohort of Nick Trost. They both resided in Columbus and spent many hours together creating. If you have ever read any of Nick’s books you probably have seen Al’s name mentioned several times. Al’s hand-written files have been assembled and incorporated into a book. Along with that 13 other magicians have each contributed a trick to be incorporated into this book.
A big thank you goes to the magicians who contributed tricks to the addendum of this book. Their generosity should not be overlooked. It is with their kind help that the card magic of Al Thatcher might become better known. These magicians are listed below.
Tom Craven, Stephen Bargatze, Gary Plants, Mike Powers, Dan Block, Steve Beam, Del Copley, Wynn Mertz, Nick Trost (Courtesy of H & R Publishing), Robert Bengel, Evert Chapman, Gordon Boyd, and Richard Bartram Jr.
Al’s children, Vicki and Gary, will always be grateful to Gordon for putting this book together.
