Nick Trost – Card Magic of Nick Trost (Vol 1-3) (PDF)

Volume 1
Nick Trost is well known for his simple, easy-to-do card magic. He uses subtle moves and principles rather than difficult sleight of hand to produce entertaining card effects.

The entire set of volumes contain his best card effects, plus variations by his fellow magicians. Many of these card creations came from his series of notebooks and most have not been published previously.

This volume alone contains 11 chapters describing over 100 tricks. Here are a few of the areas covered:

Coincidences
Transpositions
Court Cards
Special Decks
Gambling Tricks
Packet Tricks
Poker Tricks
ESP Cards

Also included is an appendix of useful sleights and subtleties.

Volume 2
The second volume of Subtle Card Creations continues with a wealth of new material – effective and subtle card effects – designed to entertain and baffle spectators.

Much of the material – as in Volume 1 – was developed from ideas in a series of notebooks. Effects of all types are include here. There are 11 chapters. Here are a few of the areas covered in Volume 2:

Coincidences
Hotel Mysteries
Divinations
Four Aces
Gambling Tricks
Poker Deals
Predictions
Transpositions
Packet Tricks
ESP Cards
And a unique chapter on tricks with a Pinochle deck.

Nick Trost’s Subtle Card Creations is a multi-volume compendium of card magic based on subtle moves and principles rather than difficult sleight of hand; the majority of the material has not been published previously.

Volume 3
