Mini-Project 5 - Card Tricks

Duration: 20th November - ??? (Ongoing)

Card tricks are an interesting form of deception, in that the audience let themselves believe the lie that the magician is doing the trick through 'magic', when in fact they know that the performer has total control over what is happening. So with the help of Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue's book 'The Royal Road to Card Magic' I aim to master a good number of tricks, for use in future projects or everyday.
