It isn't a Hermetic Press publication. It isn't even a traditional book. Yes, it's an e-book. More and more of you are showing interest in this increasingly popular medium for reading and study. Eventually we had to notice. Peter Duffie's Card Magic USA is the first e-book we have chosen to offer on our Web site. This is Peter's work from beginning to end, but the collection is so compelling, even if it hasn't a paper-and-ink format, we have decided to offer it to our customers as a download.

Card Magic USA contains 285 pages of contributions from a genuine Who's Who of U.S. cardmen; forty-nine in all, contributing seventy-seven items. Who's Who's Who, you ask? Here is a sampling: Armstrong, Asher, Bannon, Beam, Carpenter, Draun, Hartman, James, Jay, Klaus, Kranzo, Long, Lorayne, Malone, Maven, Mayhew, Maze, Plants, Racherbaumer, Rosenthal, Skinner, Weber. If that doesn't impress you enough, take a look at the rest of the list in the complete table of contents featured on this page.

All items are described by the authors. Many are photo-illustrated in color. Card Magic USA is the most impressive compilation of card magic we have seen in years. Peter Duffie has done a fine job of collecting material from the best. If he had printed this book, it would have easily cost twice the price. And you will have it all, in front of your eyes, in the time it takes to make a few mouse clicks. Even though it beams from a screen rather than from an ink-on-paper page, we think you'll like it—a lot.
