Comments: From the foreword: "During the war years the following simple card tricks were shown and taught to men in military hospitals. Because many of the men were physically handicapped, sleight-of-hand was purposely avoided. Patient participation was encouraged and the degree of elaboration given to each trick depended on the showmanship ability of the individual pupil. The general response was so overwhelmingly enthusiastic that we were inspired to prepare this booklet for use by men, women, and children everywhere. We are indebted to Albert Ostrow, author of "The Complete Card Player," for assistance in the explanation of the tricks and to Miss Elise Healy for the preparation of diagrams and sketches."

Note: The 1972 THE Club Edition seems to only have 7 tricks, not 10 at least according to the contents listing I saw for that edition.

Interesting fact: The trick "On Tap" was featured in the 10 April 1955 Chicago Tribune and the booklet could be purchased for only 10 cents!
