Steranko: Stacked Deck

World-famous comic book artist Jim Steranko, the man who created the look of Indiana Jones for Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, was a ground-breaking inventor of card magic early in his career. In this vintage article, reprinted from the mostly highly-sought after back issue of Genii, Steranko offers a preview of his second book The Ultimate Move. The book was never published and this article features many tricks available for the first time since 1962. Read it for free here.

If you enjoy this article, then you will love Steranko’s first book, Steranko on Cards. The book has been republished by Magic, Inc. and features a collection of many great sleights and tricks still used by magicians today. It’s one of our favorites!
