What a Great Magician Has To Say About Scarne
For those who are not acquainted with Mr. John Scarne, I wish to say that he is the most expert exponent of wonderful card effects and table work I have ever seen in my life. I have met and known personally some very fine performers, both amateurs and professionals. But I have yet to see such fine work and originality as Mr. Scarne has command of.

In this book Mr. Scarne has covered everything there is to know about Three Card Monte, it being to the best of my knowledge the only work ever produced on this particular subject. Apart from one or two fundamental principles enployed in the original form of the trick, practically all of the effects, dodges, subtleties, come-on ideas, etc., are original with Mr. Scarne
