How's Tricks is the fifth studio album by Scottish musician Jack Bruce, released in 1977 and credited to "The Jack Bruce Band".
The album peaked at No. 153 on the Billboard album chart in May 1977. It would be Bruce's last album released under Robert Stigwood's management (and, consequently, his last for the RSO Records label); although the Jack Bruce Band would remain under contract with Stigwood for another year, the band's 1978 album Jet Set Jewel was rejected by Stigwood and RSO as not commercially viable, with the band subsequently dropped from the label. Bruce's leaving Stigwood/RSO ended a fifteen-year affiliation that began in 1963 when Bruce joined the Graham Bond Organisation.
