The Amateur Magician's Handbook - Hardcover of the 4th Edition of 1982. -- For more than a generation The Amateur magician's Handbook has been the acknowledged classic text for conjurers, both beginning and advanced. This is an expanded and thoroughly revised edition, moves into the electronic age, with the Amazing Randi contributing his experience with videotape, which is revolutionizing self-coaching for the modern performer. -- This edition teaches, briskly yet carefully, with hundreds of illustrations, all the skills and secrets of the wizard's repertoire-reading minds, pulling rabbits from hats, turning red handkerchiefs green, dissolving knots, pouring drinks from empty jars, dealing yourself all the aces, finding silver dollars in the air, to name a few. -- The Amateur Magician's Handbook stands alone in showing how and why magic works as entertainment: how spectators think and you must think - and feel - to make puzzling tricks pleasing. - A comprehensive new section covers the difficult but rewarding (and potentially rewarding) art of entertaining children.
