This large 328 page, hardbound book has become a classic of magic literature. With six commercial stand-up routines, 12 powerful utility sleights and devices, four reputation making routines, eight incredible essays, Michael's Cups and Balls routine and much, much more. This is the absolute best of Michael Ammar all in one volume!
