INSTANT REPLAY! Cyber FRIDAY Special
TWO DECKS FREE! “At the end of [Kaufman's] career, this book will likely be considered, historically, the most important tome in his already impressive oeuvre.” John Lovick, Genii, December 2018 It was so popular Monday so we're doing it again! Order the new book DeLand: Mystery and Madness before midnight tomorrow night (EST) November 30 and you’ll receive The Wonder Deck and The Automatic Trick Cards, a $45 value, for FREE. Theodore DeLand was the hi-tech genius of 100 years ago, creating new types of gimmicked cards and decks that eliminated the need for sleight of hand. His hi-tech approach to card magic changed everything that followed. The Wonder Deck was the first printed edge-marked deck in the world—normally it costs $20. The Automatic Trick Cards was the first deck marked to secretly tell you the position of any card in the deck with no memory work required—normally it costs $20. Both decks are edge marked, marked on the back, one way, and stripped. Postage would add an additional $5. SAVE $45! Both decks will be included FREE when you buy the 10-pound 608-page full-color “masterpiece” by Richard Kaufman, DeLand: Mystery and Madness for $150 (plus postage). Visit www.richardkaufman.com and simply place your order. Any order dated November 29 or 30 will automatically have both decks included at no extra charge. The book is expected to ship in mid-December, in time for receipt for the holidays in the USA. Order today and save BIG at www.richardkaufman.com or call the Genii office at 301-652-5800. |

I just got my DeLand book last week, and I'm still reading and enjoying every evening. The details in this book are amazing, not only details about the life and works of Theodore DeLand, but details about all of his wonderful creations. I have been collecting DeLand card tricks for about 8 - years and have all the 1945-46 Conjours' Magazine articles about Theodore DeLand's creations written by Walter Gibson, but compared to this book they are trivial. The Walter Gibson articles are covered in the book along with comments by Richard Kaufman. I would recommend this book to anyone who is into card tricks of all kinds, and I'm sure I will have more comments as I continue to read this great book.

Totally agree RICH! Amazing piece of work on a fascinating man and his wonderful creations. Be sure to pick up the Wonder and Automatic Decks from Richard as well. They are also beautifully produced and a must have addition if you own the book.

I am still waiting for the facsimile Dollar Deck from Belgium. It should be ready sometime this month. (I sent it to them in September!)
All the deck sets will be shipped out as soon as I have the Dollar Deck. People who ordered the deluxe edition of the book will receive a Dollar Deck sent directly from Cartamundi. |

I have had this book since it first shipped however I have only this week gotten around to reading it. This book is amazing! Thank you Mr. Kaufman for all of the work that went into this book. I have only read the first few chapters but I am really enjoying this book. The artwork is amazing. A lot of work went into this remarkable book.

Any comments on the 'usability' of the tricks explained?
I appreciate this this is: 1) a very extensively researched volume giving a great deal of new historical information 2) a beautifully produced volume to delight book lovers And these are 2 features I appreciate. However with limited budget (or rather just spending too much over time on magic), I was wondering to what extent the tricks explained were directly usable today (as opposed to being the background for later developments that may have superseded them). I remember reading one in-depth review of the book that was overall very positive (particularly from the historical perspective and quality of production) but indicated that the tricks may simply provide inspiration for the reader to develop (and that also puzzles an d similar that Deland developed were not of much interest). I hope you can appreciate that my aim is not to downplay the book, as it obviously is an excellent work, but whether it fits my needs at this time. (and I still do like a beautiful volume with good research!!) |

You can use many of the tricks today with no problem. You'll get at least a dozen using the deck of gimmicked cards that comes with the book.
