I bought this when it came out in 1996.  It is chock full of terrific material that stands the test of time.  If you are a card guy you should read this.  Its still available at fine magic shops everywhere in the 50-60 dollar range (+shipping), but I'm charging in Canadian Dollars so you are getting a deal

 

Miracles With Cards - $60 CND includes North American shipping

 

This is Swain's second (and, we think, BEST) book. It is full of the kind of practical yet sophisticated card magic you'll use and ENJOY using. Swain's routines are longer, multi-phased, and have a strong commercial appeal. Think Ortiz meets Bannon meets Regal. We're both huge fans of Jim Swain, and this is the book that fetches the most on ebay, because it's rarest and most sought after.

 

From Introduction by Darwin Ortiz: 

 

"What I like about this book is that it lives up to its title. These are card tricks that go for the jugular, tricks that push the boundaries of what's possible with a deck of cards. In so doing, they ensure that the audience will remember the magic and the magician."
