A Way with Cards featuring The Diskard Protocol
by Al Smith
Review/Thoughts by Paul Gordon
I
don't make a habit of reviewing books, but I had to here! 59 A4 (outsize) Pages.
£20 (about $38) available from Al Smith at 17 Osbert Road, Rotherham, South
Yorkshire S60 3LD, England. To buy online, ask Paul Gordon at
info@paulgordon.net you can pay by
MasterCard or Visa. (Note: I'm only helping sell these as a friendship favour to
non-computer Al. I'm not on a commission.)
This is not going to be an in-depth review, but this is the best read I've had
in years! Al Smith's Diskard Protocol is a revolutionary maths-based card
principle. As Al says himself, the original concept is as old as the hills, but
Al has found & devised revolutionary new ideas, handlings, concepts and
routines. Intrigued? Well, the only clue is the 22nd card from top.
When I got my copy, I could not put it down. In fact, I missed a business
meeting because I was too engrossed in the book. It is so good.
If you like maths-based card magic (Free Cut Principles, Automatic Placements,
Deal & Ducks, Reverse Faros etc., etc) you are guaranteed to love this book.
My advice is this: Get a copy now!
