Derek Dingle (1937–2004) was an English close-up magician whose card and coin skills were unsurpassed. In 1981, magic author Richard Kaufman was finally able to pin him down, and get him to share his techniques.The result was this book.
Containing over 120 effects with cards, coins, and cigarettes, it's really two books in one. Here are 60 or so of Derek's classic routines which had already appeared in print, and which he substantially improved. It also contains about 60 never before released sleights, effects, and routines.Every nuance of technique, every line of patter, every ingredient that makes Derek's magic so special is captured by Richard Kaufman. Over 11,000 words of text and 800 illustrations.
