Here is a new edition of Keith Clark's book has been exhausted for some time.
It is a reimpession in French and with flexible coverage.
He lacked French magic literature a "Gaultier" of the manipulation of cigarettes; It was to fill this gap that Payot editions decided to publish this book.
"Far be it from me to compare my book with the monumental work of Camille Gaultier, whose overwhelming superiority it would be to ignore all the prestidigitation books, of all time and all countries. For what Concerns us, Camille Gaultier had left between cigarettes and sewing dice, choosing the dice because their manipulations and sequences had arrived, as for billiards and rooms, to a sort of maturity - in particular by the presentation of Complete numbers, such as that of Nate Leipzig - while cigarette numbers were still too much in childhood to provide the elements necessary for technical and scientific analysis which is characteristic of the work of Gaultier - historian, which mainly gives the principles execution techniques, fruits of the experience of his predecessors and contemporary, and not creator.
The development of this book really started with my beginnings as an apprentice magician, then it was written by following my own development, until its first publication in the United States. Since then, he has continued to evolve to the present publication, the first in French but the fourth in time.
He was updated until, and even during, his translation by Mr. Maurice Sardina who spent with a dedication that only a real love of magic could support. His collaboration was not easy because it was not only a question of translating the towers and the usual passes to this kind of book, but rather of maintaining continuity in the course of the subject, starting from the simplest for Gradually reach the most complicated, on a background of historical chronology, starting with an overview to get more and more in detail. It would have been easy to write three volumes on the subject. The big difficulty was to write only one that contained them all three; here it is."
