This is a book full of professional close-up magic from a full time working Pro. The book goes beyond tricks and gets into the how and why - it is book designed for the intermediate and above skill level - there are a few tricks that require little technical skill but require some performance skill. The following couple of questions will gauge the required skill level and help you decide if this book is appropriate ( the reason is this book should not fall into the wrong hands or frustrate the reader.)1. What is a double lift?2. What is finger palm position?3. What is a Hindu Shuffle?4. Si Stebbins System?These are basic concepts and if you have never heard of them then may I suggest the following two books(Both available on ):Mark Wilson's Complete Course in MagicorMagic: The Complete Course (Book & DVD)Both books should be in all Magicians Libraries anyway and they will give you the foundation you will need to advance to the next level and they have excellent magic.The effect in this book range from standard Card and Coin to odd objects like a soda straw. The instructions are clear and well written. I especially like the appendix were he briefly covers required slights ( though you still need to have a basic library for more detailed explanations.)This book was originally published and sold for around $45 - this is a steal! Dover has done it again with quality and affordability.
