ALL OUR COPIES HAVE BEEN AUTOGRAPHED BY JOE HERNANDEZ

Frank Garcia was one of the few magicians during his lifetime that was extremely skillful in both stage and close-up magic and was entertaining in both capacities. He was also known as an expert sleight-of-hand artist and gambling expert.

This huge and fascinating book looks at his life through previously unknown photographs, letters, documents, clippings, illustrations, personal notes, and recollections from his friends.

You will read anecdotes from: Harrison Carroll, Michael Chaut, Joe Devlin, Dorothy Dietrich, Paul Gertner, Charles Greene, Joe Hernandez, Richard Kaufman, Mario Manzini, Jeff McBride, Roger Monaco, and George Schindler.

Also included are explanations to 85 of his routines (mostly cards). Many of which have become classics through his routining. He was a master at simplifying tricks, so they became easy to learn and featured direct and easy to follow presentations.
