Magic Book Review - Card Foolers by Paul Gordon
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers an enthusiastic review of Paul Gordon’s new book, *Card Foolers*, hailing it as a significant and potentially legacy release for card magicians. He emphasizes the incredible value, noting that the 416-page book containing 240 tricks costs just $100 – less than 50 cents per trick. While not strictly for beginners, the book assumes a basic understanding of card magic terminology and sleights. *Card Foolers* isn't limited to card magic, featuring coin manipulations, a Himber ring routine, and anagram effects, but the majority of the material focuses on card magic with many routines being slight-free or easy to perform. David strongly recommends watching Paul Gordon’s 17-minute trailer, which he considers a more informative preview than his own review, showcasing a selection of tricks in an uncut presentation. He praises the book's concise writing style and believes it's a book magicians will return to repeatedly, highlighting the enduring value and quality of Paul Gordon’s work. Viewers are directed to paulgordon.net for purchase and The Magic Channel Card Tricks for beginner tutorials.
