Umschlagtext in Auszügen:
Leo Behnke, one of the Magic Castle's first House Magicians, has culled the best of classical and modern impromptu magic from this worldwide mecca of magic and magicians. Some of the most innovative of the Magic Castle's magicians have contributed their personal and polished favorites to this book of easy-to-perform-but-amazing-just-the-same tricks. Working with common objects such as napkins, string and paper and the simplest magical props such as playing cards, dice and coins, these experts present baffling trickery from their own repertoires and even provide samples of the patter they use to keep their audience fascinated - and puzzled. Each trick is described by its effect on the audience, its secret, its meshing of routine and patter, and its possible variations.
