From the Dust Jacket:
"In this second volume of The Magic of Ascanio, you will find a thorough study of the Ascanio Spread and it's variants, Ascanio's methods for handling and tabling double cards, and a wealth of carefully studied and polished routines that are true masterpieces, including several versions of Oil and Water and The Wriggling Aces, which was part of the act that awarded him first prize at FISM in Amsterdam 1970.
Also included are several tricks Ascanio learned from his mentors Fred Kaps, Jean Carles and Fu Manchu, and much more."
