Tricks and Routines with Instructions for Expert Performance by the AmateurThis amazing book has rarely stayed out of print for long- IT'S THAT GOOD!
FROM THE PUBLISHER: Here is a magic book that's more than just a book on magic. It has pages that can be cut-out to make apparatus for actual tricks, as well as complete instructions for these and other tricks-a total of 36 tricks fully explained and illustrated. Step-by-step instructions guide the reader through the effect that the trick will produce, the method of doing the trick and the presentation of the trick before an audience. Simple to perform, yet effective in presentation, these tricks can all be performed informally with a small group of rfriends. They require only common objects or material that is easily obtainable: matches, coins, playing cards, safety pins and the like. With the emphasis on deception rather than elaborate sleight-of-hand, this book holds a section on impromptu magic, table magic, card magic, Oriental magic and mental magic. The last section show you how to use the individual tricks to build your own themed show routine.
With this book the beginner will be able to perform professional tricks within hours, while even the experienced amateur will find new tricks and new ways of doing old ones. The author draws upon a lifetime in professional magic for his expertise.After all, he was the ghostwriter for the magic greats, including Houdini, Thurston and Blackstone!
