Cigar Magic
by D. Angelo Ferri

Cigar Magic is the result of my investigation into the Cigar From The Purse Routine generally associated with Nate Leipzig (but originally created by G.W. Hunter). I explored different methods including the use of a 'holdout'; which is described in the text. (I finally settled on a routine that does not employ a hold out.) My routine offers a different take on the switch out of the gimmick purse, a new handling of the change over move, producing a second cigar from the purse, and the continuous cigar production that concludes with a production of a bigger cigar. Being a cigar smoker myself; I have also developed routines using the cigar band, the cigar ash, and the cigar itself as a misdirective tool.

This 52 page manuscript contains many photographs, an instructional video clip, and sources for prop cigars and suggests other books on the subject.
