One of the very few magic acts designed for a woman, but this one is a honey. Based on the Charles Adams cartoons, the character of Vampira is indicated by the sketch.

Once the material is assimilated, the tricks could be changed to suit the individual. All patter and presentation is given, plus the details of the wonderful costume and make up, also music, lighting, etc. With a little work, the idea can be transferred to a male character. Great for Halloween,...
