Hello everyone
I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for books on packet tricks, effects, history, performance etc. Thank you |

Not specifically on packet tricks, but you can find lots of them in The collected works of Alex Elmsley.
So much to do, so little time . . .

I've been using effects from these books for years, and the answers to a lot of questions asked about packet tricks on this forum can be found in these books. Great reference books for your magical library. |

Also look for a Tannen's manuscript by J.K. Hartman called Packet Magic. Many of these were reprinted in CardCraft but that book is VERY hard to find.

I recently found a copy of Focus by Phil Goldstein. From the introduction: "Most of the routines are packet tricks".
I have just started studying it and I found a number of interesting effects.

The Paul Hallas books are great. Tons of info.
Counts, Cuts and Subtlety will have you creating your own effects with all the sleights you learn that seem to be geared towards packet tricks. Focus - Phil Goldstein - what more needs to be said. I also hear good things about Countesaurus by Jon Racherbaumer although I don't own it as of yet.
by EVILDAN....
"The Coin Board Book" - moves and routines with the coin panel board. - http://www.lybrary.com/the-coin-board-book-p-827955.html "SLASHER - A Horror Whodunnit" - a bizarre close-up routine based on Bob Neale's "Sole Survivor." PM me for more info. "Zombie Town" - a packet effect about how a small town turned into zombies. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nzJhcoJtyOM |

Although it is a DVD and not a book, Craig Petty put out Slim.
And then L&L World's Greatest Magic line had some packet trick DVDs produced recently as well. |

Wild card kit by Racherbaumer published by L&L (now available as ebook). Just one subject but so many variations and techniques.

Maybe someone with the books could mention which one contains most of the packet effects. Unless this is just a troll, you could easily find reviews on the web I would think. |

The effect is the important thing, how you achieve it is not.......

Doesn't Cameron Francis have a series of publications with packet tricks?
I believed it's called Packet Mania, but I'm not sure if it's a DVD series or a publication. Also, John Bannon's High Caliber contains lots & lots of packet tricks. |
