Vintage Notes From Underground: Card Tricks by Karl Fulves

Scarce vintage instructional card magic publication by noted magician, author and magic publisher Karl Fulves, with illustrations by Joseph K. Schmidt. Published by The Gutenberg Press.

This booklet contains a collection of 32 card tricks and ideas, ranging from self-working effects to routines requiring a moderate degree of skill. In his introduction, Fulves notes that much of the material was taken from his notes of 1967–1968, with the introduction itself dated April 16, 1973.

The material includes mathematical card effects, counting and dealing routines, sleight-based tricks and other close-up card magic. Fulves specifically describes some of the material as routines that can be performed for lay audiences with relatively little technical handling.

Illustrated throughout by Joseph K. Schmidt with instructional diagrams accompanying various effects.
