    Sleights covered include Subway Gambler's Palm, the Contortion Palm, Flat Top Switch, the Zarrow Block Addition and A Table Pass. Effects include the legendary Joker Monte, in addition to Horowitz's Look Homeward, Angel, Tenkai's Phoenix Bill Vanish and many more. 63 routines, 210 illustrations, 32 historical photographs - 270 pages of pure Vernon.
