Magic Book Review - Modular Card Magic by Tobias Hudson

Magic Orthodoxy delivers a glowing review of Tobias Hudson’s *Modular Card Magic*, a recently released card magic book from Three Monkeys Publishing. David enthusiastically declares it one of his favorite magic books of the year, emphasizing the importance of a strong magic library and positioning this book as a valuable resource for both learning and inspiration. The substantial 336-page book, costing $70, feels less like a traditional instruction manual and more like a 'toolbox' filled with adaptable elements to personalize performances. It boasts nearly 20 routines, quick effects, and three essays on card magic performance. The book dives into key card handling techniques, including an SLS (Sleight of Hand Sequence), the full cover dribble pass, the automatic card shift, and the Vault, alongside a comprehensive “Encyclopedia of Card Magic” section. David highlights the book's unique layout, clear instructions, full-color photographs, and the inclusion of scannable barcodes linking to video demonstrations. Routines like *Hoffer's Orgies*, *Mr. Joker*, *Man Target*, *Slow Burn*, *The Red and the Black*, *Openly Predictable*, and *Copper Beach Avenue* are showcased as examples of the creative material within. Ultimately, David strongly recommends *Modular Card Magic* to card magic enthusiasts seeking creative and less-common material, and encourages viewers to support his channel through merchandise purchases.
