Hola buenas estoy interesado en este gran libro que me han dicho que es la biblia de la cartomagia, mi pregunta es si puedo pasar del canuto a este libro o tengo que leer algo antes muchas gracias a todos....

[Iban]

Como no concretes un poco más...

¿Te refieres al "Expert Card Technique" o al "Royal Road to Card Magic"?

[albertoile]

El expert card technique

[Mistico]

¿ Que tal se te da el ingles?

[Iban]

Sí, puede decirse que es como una biblia de la cartomagia, sí (por antiguo no significa que no tenga "casi todo").

Pero también se lee como se lee la Biblia: un par de párrafos y a la estantería. A mí se me hace imposible plantearme la empresa de leerlo seguido. Hay que ser un titán para conseguir estudiar metódicamente todo el Expert (además de que haría falta la tira de tiempo); es... demasiado árido.. ¿Que quieres comprarlo, para tenerlo como libro de consulta? No me parece mala idea. ¿Que quieres que sea tu próximo libro de aprendizaje/estudio después del Canuto? Hay que tener muchos webs para hacer eso... Si lo intentas, es probable que acabes mareado antes de llegar a la página 20. Yo buscaría otra cosa.

Y no digo que sea difícil (hombre, sí, pero de manera gradual; lo que es es muy extenso). Sino que es como intentar beberse de un trago una botella de concentrado de limón.

Yo te aconsejo que no lo compres muchos magos lo ponen por las nubes no lo entiendo ,la mayoria de su contenido ya no se utiliza tal como lo explican ya que la cartomagia es de lo que mas a evolucionado y el libro a quedado obsoleto, yo lo vendi y es dificil que venda un libro.Claro que hay cosas interesantes pero decir que es la enciclopedia de la cartomagia es para reirse,no dudo que en su tiempo fuera asi pero hoy en dia no es verdad,vamos hay cosas muy interesantes pero mi consejo es que no lo compres.
