Harry Lorayne’ s personal collection :all cards, all new, all mine
Lorayne’s description of the book: “I’ve hoarded some of this material for over forty years (since Close-Up Card Magic). If you’ve used/liked my ideas over the years, you’ll flip over this. (No gaffed cards!) It’s my last book on cards. This is it – but what an ‘it’ it is! More than 650 pages! Over 130 complete effects & routines, plus my entire The Great Divide, re-written into seven great effects. That’s 137 items, in 13 sections. 60/70 more effect ideas in the Afterthoughts – that’s 200 items! Plus lots of sleights/subtleties you’ll use for other routines. And close to 400 illustrations. What a M-E-S! (Memory, Estimation, Sleight of hand) is a complete manuscript that I had intended to sell separately for $100. It’s a killer. It’s included in Personal Collection!”
The original printed book was a Limited Edition of only 750 signed copies.
