Stewart Smith Available again at long last is this work by the elusive J. Stewart Smith, presenting more of his mystifying card effects, accomplished without knuckle-busting sleight of hand. The author was something of an enigma, eschewing public performances in favor of fooling magicians and mentalists at magic conventions. After a process of continual refinements from demonstrating his effects under the critical eyes of magicians, he would assemble a small number of his latest creations and issue them in small, limited-edition booklets. To say that his books are hard to come by is a gross understatement. This is a shame, since the magic is priceless. It deserves to be enjoyed by a new generation of performers and audiences. Smith was a firm believer that effective magic must be easily followed and tell a story. The eleven effects presented here are fine examples of this credo. No difficult sleights are required. All moves and subtleties are well-explained.

(John J. Crimmins, Jr.) "We've tried all the effects and, as usual, have a favorite: A four card transposition called 'Queens in Unseen Motion'." (Sid Lorraine) "Smith's tricks are wonderful. His technique is a return to the disciplined approach to magic." (Harris Solomon) 2022 updated and expanded edition features two new chapters. Softcover, 36 pages + supplement, saddle-stitched.
