Jimmy Nuzzo and Edward Marlo Collaborated on card magic that is visual and confounding because of sophisticated sleight of hand. It is these secrets that have formulated some of the most fooling magic ever created.
Any pulse-checking, hard-core cardmen in the late 60s, knew about Jimmy Nuzzo. If they didn’t get to see him in person, they were familiar with the select ideas he published—ideas that probably seemed celestial at the time but were nevertheless interesting and enticing.” - from Jon Racherbaumer’s Prologue
In the Nuzzo Touch there is Jimmy’s audience-tested repertoire. It includes his fabulous Side Steal and lightning-fast Card to the Pocket.
The book incorporates three hard-to-find, private manuscripts that Nuzzo and Marlo published in the 1980’s, Plus Package; Unforgettable Wild Card; and 21 st Century Card Magic. Jimmy invented the Hung Card, one of the most tightly held secrets in magic.

Long out of print! Originally published in 1993, this is the book that started it all.
These are not your typical self-working card tricks. Clever principles & devious subtleties have supplanted sleight of hand.
Unlike many self-working card tricks, these do not appear to be self-working to the audience.
The latest technology has been used to eliminate superfluous dealing and counting.
In addition to dozens of effects by the author, contributors include Michael Beam, Doug Canning, Tom Craven, Stewart James, Wayne Kyzer, Simon Lovell, Martini, Gary Plants, Steve Pressley, John Riggs, Scott Robinson, and Allan Slaight.
If you enjoy card magic, you will eventually read this book. The only question is whether you will read it before or after being fooled and entertained by a trick contained within.

An insanely dynamic entertainer and innovator, Patrik Kuffs has made smash-hit appearances at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, the International Battle of Magicians in Atlanta, and on such varied television shows as Popular Mechanics For Kids, Ad Lib and Urban Magic, with David Acer and Richard Sanders. This book, his first, contains seven eye-popping showpieces for stage and close-up, each one ingenious, engaging and astonishing enough to steal a show!
Under The Table: A card is folded and placed under the leg of a wobbly table to steady it at the beginning of a show. Later, a card is chosen in the context of another routine, then promptly vanishes. Impossibly, a spectator retrieves the card under the table-leg and unfolds it, showing it to be his selection!
Invisible Touch: A spectator secretly marks one finger on a drawing of a hand. A second spectator is asked to extend his hand, when suddenly, he feels something touching a finger, though there is nothing near it! The finger, of course, is the same one secretly marked by the other spectator!
French Lint: A clean lint roller is used to collect DNA left behind by a chosen card, only to result in the name of the card mysteriously forming in lint on the roller!
Temporal Anomaly: Two watches are borrowed from the audience, then both are set randomly by two different people. When the two times are revealed, THEY MATCH!
And so much more! Seven By Patrik Kuffs is an inspired collection of close-up, stage and mental miracles, rich in their simplicity, remarkable in their effect! Written by David Acer, illustrated by Joey Incollingo. Number Two in the critically acclaimed Seven By Series.
