Self-Working Table Magic: 97 Foolproof Tricks with Everyday Objects by Karl Fulves |
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
It’s the hip-hop of hocus-pocus.
Forget about David Copperfield, cruise ship illusionists, and birthday party magicians. They’re so twentieth century. Think cutting-edge magickers like David Blaine and Criss Angel. People starting out in magic today want something edgier, grittier, quick, visual, and maybe a little dangerous. This guide will teach you how to do it!
What makes The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Street Magic different from other books is the type of tricks and the thematic presentations that readers will actually learn. Out of the literally thousands of tricks that could have been included, only those that have the greatest impact, both visually and psychologically, appear in this book. It includes:
—75 to 100 tricks
—200 illustrations, from how-to shots to photos of street magicians at work
—Contains something for all levels, from easy-to-accomplish tricks for complete beginners to more challenging sleight-of-hand for those who seriously want to pursue the art of legerdemain
About the Author
Tom Ogden began his professional career as a magician over 35 years ago, and his magic has taken him to more than 90 countries on all seven continents. His national television work has included “The World’s Greatest Magic,” “The Great Magic of Las Vegas,” and “Magic and Beyond,” as well as numerous commercials. Ogden is the author of four books, including The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Ghosts and Hauntings and 200 Years of the American Circus.
