| The
Fine Art Of Hocus Pocus
|
 This 1996 John Booth book has
inspired many magicians. In addition to many magic routines taught
(Giant Memory exhibitions, Double talk methods, Dr. Hooker’s Card
Rise, etc..) you will also learn some little known facts about
Thurston, Houdini, Maskelyne, Nicola, Siegfried & Roy, and many
others.
You learn how to run a magic shop and make money. Why
videotapes are quietly self-destructing. Why are fees, today,
generally lower than years ago? Who was a better magician: Thurston
or Houdini? Why Robert-Houdin was not "The Father of Modern
Magic." Why Hooker’s Rising Cards baffles all experts. What
inexpensive collectible is poised to soar in value and popularity.
And much, much more.
In chapter after chapter, Booth tells what he has seen and
experienced through most of the 20th century, after all, he has
lived through most of it and has met and befriended many of the
greats in magic during that time.
A 298-page, 6.25 x 9.5 inch, hardcover book with around 90
illustrations and photos and an introduction by Mark Wilson.
