FROM THE PUBLISHER:John Mulholland’s Book of Magic is applicable to both beginners and advanced practitioners of the magic craft. Its opening and closing chapters contain some very interesting and valuable information about magic principles as well as excellent advice about the performance of magic. Mulholland describes tricks and routines for both close up and stage performance and a section on magic for children. Magic includes card effects and a system for card setup, a rings and strings effect, coin magic, torn and restored napkin, rubber band magic, and tricks with matches, dollar bills, etc., silk magic, cigars, milk, ESP, business cards, and much more. Mulholland provides illustrated instructions for mastering scores of magical feats: card tricks relying on an easy memory device, extemporaneous tricks such as making a coin vanish and then reappear in a bread roll, tricks for entertaining youngsters, magical thought transference, and other exploits of mystifying wizardry. Great addition for any collection!"
