Every magician, everywhere in the world, comes to the same realization: if you do card work you MUST know something about Texas Hold 'Em.

In a perfect world, we would assemble all the greatest thinkers in gambling magic, each one offering an astounding miracle involving Texas Hold 'Em. That's exactly what we have done.

Authored by Tom Frame, this collection is packed with exceptional selections from the greatest thinkers in our field: Michael Weber, R. Paul Wilson, Jason England, John Bannon, Bob Farmer, Sal Piacente, and many, many more. Some will come away with an entirely new repertoire of Texas Hold 'Em magic. Others will finally fulfill that essential need to know a few DIABOLICAL tricks about a game our audiences are obsessed with.

There's even an added bonus: we're including a special, exclusive gimmick for a brand new Michael Weber effect.
