Here is a book with everything you ever wanted to know about the Endless Chain. Starting with the magical production of the chain, the author leads you through several different and entertaining routines which can be done with it.
We strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants something different for their close-up or pitch act.
These workable mental effects and presentations have been long sought after since the original book went out of print. Presented are twenty-one sparkling effects. Each is polished to perfection and is suitable for the beginner or seasoned professional.
The simplicity and boldness of executions will delight you, as will the beautifully conceived presentations.
A big collection of the finest and funniest tricks, gags, routines and patter that appeared in The Dope Sheet, which was the official organ of The Deceptive Order of Prestidigitorial Entertainers. The publication, founded by George McAthy and published by Tommy Windsor, was housed in Tommy's Den.
The contents are drawn from the 16 issues published between 1945 and 1948 and is loaded with material by McAthy, Lu Brent, Billy McComb, Hen Fetsch, Tom Palmer and others.
Fourteen audience-tested routines which your audience will enjoy and remember.
Featured are Twilight Visit, Ben's handling of Paul Harris' Twilight effect; Magnetic Aces, a dazzling Ace transposition featuring the world's first self-motivated card house collapse display; Washout Wonder, which is a complete act in itself and Round the Ben-d, a creative display of Gellerism, where a spoon melts, breaks and is restored.
Included is a forward by Steve Dusheck Jr., and ten more no gimmick effects which are pure stunners. Each is fully explained and illustrated.
