Notes and Commentary by Darwin Ortiz. 1991, cloth bound, gilt stamping, 270 pages, photos, illustrations.
Dust jacket reads: For nearly a century, the methods of S.W. Erdnase have been studied, practiced and written about by countless card experts. In The Annotated Erdnase, Darwin Ortiz has augmented all of that material with his own original theories and provocative analysis. Darwin's comprehensive annotations can be used as an index to card magic in print. Students of crooked gambling methods will be particularly interested in Darwin's extensive commentary on the Card Table Artifice section.
A special feature is the chapter devoted to unraveling the true identity of S.W. Erdnase. Martin Gardner recounts his search for the man behind the book in his previously unpublished essay, The Man Who Was Erdnase. Regardless of your level of expertise this book will show you why The Expert at the Card Table is revered by the world's top card men. Here is the definitive study of the greatest book ever written on sleight of hand with cards.
Condition very fine.
