Originally entitled Artifice Ruse and Subterfuge at the Card Table, is probably the most cited and referenced book about card gambling moves - a classic in the history of magic literature. A must read for any card magician or aspiring gambling expert and an indespensable reference book. While the authorship of this book is hotly debated we are convinced it was Edward Gallaway. (For a detailed work on the search for Erdnase see Hurt McDermott's Artifice, Ruse & Erdnase.) [A copy of this book is also included in Michael McDougall's Card Mastery. This ebook is also available in a German translation and as a graphic novel adaptation.] Paul Fleming wrote: The information contained in this book is the very basis of modern card conjuring. When first published in 1902, its effect was little short of revolutionary. Magicians who had been dependent upon the old-fashioned "pass" and "palm" were initiated into the mysteries of new and more subtle versions of these sleights, and introduced to a series of "shuffles" which enabled them to obtain, with perfectly natural moves, many effects that had previously required greater skill in the execution of standard sleights than most card conjurers ever attained. It was not so much a matter of the new methods being easier to master than those which had long been common property though in a few instances this was actually the case - but rather that, for some purposes at least, they were far more deceptive. The author made available to the legitimate performer of card tricks many new sleights that had been used profitably by professional gamblers at the card-table, where stakes are often high, eyes are watchful, and half-measures lead to exposure and ruin. So important were these contributions that, within a couple of decades, the name "Erdnase" came to mean to the well-posted card conjurer as much as "Blackstone" had long meant to the lawyer. The situation remains virtually unchanged today; for it is a commonplace among card experts
