SIDE STEAL

by Ed Marlo

Part of The Revolutionary Card Technique Series No. 4

 

This is a veritable treatise on the Side Steal in both its palm, and control versions along with other techniques and effects. Included are both right and left hand palms, four methods for a Bottom Side Steal, an improved bottom slip, four touches to avoid left hand finger flutter and the very modern Clip Steal Color Change. One hundred illustrations explain 36 possibilities and variations. A fantastic read.
