Postscript by Todd Karr

This coil-bound exact facsimile reprint of The Expert at the Card Table, the mysterious S. W. Erdnase’s 1902 classic work on magic and card-sharping, is designed to lay flat so the reader can have both hands free while learning the text’s clever techniques with playing cards. It’s the perfect format for both serious card workers and first-time learners. The cover displays one of the classic King of Hearts covers that began appearing on Drake Publishing Co.’s perfect-bound Erdnase editions around 1905.
