Duffie’s Card Compulsions – Peter Duffie – All across the country there are multitudes of heart-broken women whose husbands and boyfriends have temporarily deserted them in order to satisfy the strongest compulsion on the planet: the overwhelming desire to read Duffie’s Card Compulsions, a fantastic cornucopia of 75 unbelievably strong items that can be done with a deck of cards. This is Peter Duffie’s first big hardcover, over 250 pages with almost 300 illustrations by master artist Joseph Schmidt. It contains mostly new and never before published miracles. Known as one of the most ingenious minds in card magic today, this Scotsman brings a whole different flavor to his magical methods. And, he’s a fine writer as well, capable of explaining his tricks in a clear and concise manner. And what brilliant methods they are! Hardbound. (I should point out that women can certainly read this book as well, thus deserting their husbands or boyfriends!)
