Michel Potts - The Legend of Poker Alice

More than someone who does mere card tricks, Michel Potts is a storyteller who uses a deck of cards to engage his audiences as he takes them on a magical journey; at the end of which, they are both entertained and thoroughly deceived. That's why, watching Michel perform is an experience his audiences don't soon forget and one they want to relive with their friends and associates as soon as they can return to Hemingway's in Bangkok, Thailand - the popular dining and drinking establishment where Michel is the Resident Magician. In this, his third book of card magic, Michel shares six more brilliant items from his professional repertoire; including a new, easy-to-do utility move (two versions). 38 pages.
