Miniature Mysteries with Cards, authored by Barbara G. Walker and published in 1980 by Magic Inc. (with illustrations by Paul LePaul), is a uniquely specialized magic book dedicated entirely to routines, sleights, and close-up illusions performed with miniature playing cards. Recognizing that standard sleight-of-hand techniques often fail or feel awkward when applied to tiny decks, Walker—a celebrated mentalist, card expert, and one of the prominent female magic authors of her era—crafted a practical array of original card effects tailored specifically to the unique mechanics, handling, and novelty of mini cards. Richly detailed with clear line drawings and step-by-step instructions, the book spans everything from subtle locations and transpositions to packet tricks and mentalism, making it a beloved niche classic for magicians seeking to turn a tiny deck from a simple novelty into a powerful, deceptive performance tool.
