“Dealing! Counting! Cyclical stacks! Mathematics! The stuff of entertaining, deceptive card magic? Many would say ‘No way’ without a further thought and turn up their noses, but they’re the deprived souls who are unfamiliar with the quirky creations of Marty Kane. His special brand of gullery, evidenced in spades in Card ChiKANEry, combines outrageous patter, offbeat presentations and wily principles into befuddling foolers that are fun to fiddle with and fun to perform: novel and original card magic with a sense of humor!“— J.K. Hartman
“Mathematical material amazes many magicians because they don’t have to execute sleight of hand, and since a majority of Kane’s methods are built into the patter, performers have the pleasure of amusing themselves as well as others…I found this book to be a treasure -trove of smart, self-working card material…” — Genii Magazine review, April 2017.
“I had the most fun working through ‘Anna Graham’s Magic Spells’ – doing so reminded me of working through the Paul Harris’ Art of Astonishment books” — Steve Bryant, Little Egypt Gazette, February 2017.
– “Suddenly the versatility and liberation of math based card tricks came into focus…The Gospel of Math Tricks according to Kane. Thou shall NOT have need for special decks, complex set-ups, or difficult moves. Thou shall use engaging story lines, strong hooks and humor to disguise the processes needed right under thy audiences’ noses….There is a story idea, plot or solution for almost any situation you’re likely to come across from kids shows to comedy and from corporate to bizarre magic…There is no longer a need to covet thy neighbor’s self-working card tricks if you buy Card ChiKANEry.” — Rolando Santos in the July 2017 edition of The Linking Ring.
