The Royal Road to Card Magic is a classic book written by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue. It was first published in 1948 and has since become a staple in the world of card magic. The book is often considered a beginner's guide to card magic, providing a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles and techniques of card manipulation. The Royal Road to Card Magic covers a wide range of topics, starting with the fundamentals of card handling, such as grips, shuffles, and cuts. It then progresses to more advanced techniques, including card forces, controls, and false shuffles. The book also teaches various sleights, such as the double lift, the pass, and the palm, which are essential for performing card tricks.
For generations, the men of the Wooley family (all played by March) have married henpecking wives. This is because centuries before, a witch called Jennifer (Lake) cursed Jonathan Wooley's (March) family to "marry the wrong woman" before being burned at the stake with her father Daniel after Wooley accused her.
Irony Jennifer lost her old body after she and her father were burned by pilgrims, and gained a new one after the Pilgrim Hotel was burned by her father. Centuries later in the present day 1942 , the tree that Daniel and Jennifer s ashes are buried under is hit by lightning, awakening their spirits and becoming human again.
The book also teaches various sleights, such as the double lift, the pass, and the palm, which are essential for performing card tricks. One of the strengths of The Royal Road to Card Magic is its clear and step-by-step explanations. The authors break down each move and sleight into detailed instructions, accompanied by illustrations to help the reader visualize the actions.
