Stand-Up SpongesKen de Courcy A practical and commercial routine without difficult sleights.
From the Introduction:

- The set-up (and re-setting) must be both quick and easy.
- It must be workable standing up without the use of a table.
- There must be no danger of the balls dropping off the volunteer's hand and bouncing all over the place.
- It must be loaded in such a way that it doesn't bulge out a thin mohair suit.
- If possible, it must contain at least...

Magic BalloonsKen de Courcy From the introduction:
It was that well-known West Country entertainer, Roy Van Dyke, who made me realise balloons can be used for more purposes than screwing into strange shapes sometimes resembling animals. He has a terrific opening trick that has colour, movement and noise that never fails to grab and hold the attention of today's show-saturated audiences.

33 Trucchi con la Forzatura I.D.E.U.Ken de Courcy
E’ con grande piacere che presentiamo per la prima volta al pubblico dei prestigiatori Italiani questo bellissimo quanto ricco lavoro di Ken De Courcy. La Forzatura “I.D.E.U. ( In lingua originale PATEO) è una delle più versatili e apparentemente innocenti che siano state ideate. I.D.E.U. è un acronimo per “Indicane Due Eliminane Una”. Infatti un qualsiasi numero di carte (o oggetti) viene disposto sul tavolo in qualsiasi ordine e alternativamente lo spettatore e l’esecutore ne coprono due con le mani e una carta viene eliminata liberamente ogni volta. Eppure, questo processo... | $10 to wish listPDF |

Mistress of PentertainKen de Courcy Fiddling with figures.
More along the lines of Pentertain and Son of Pentertain. The fact that there is so much material here is due to the efforts of Geoffrey Lamb, Ralph Erlewine, Dr. Bernard Juby, R. C. Buff, Peter Rees and, in particular, Leslie May who sent in pages of figure oddities.

Walking Through a Steel Plate PlusUlysses Frederick Grant & Ken de Courcy  As usual with Grant instructions, they leave a lot to the imagination and "know-how" of the magician. However, the method was a clever one, simple but very effective. Ken de Courcy has taken the original instructions and added to them his own presentation points, and not only that, his improvements and various novel dressings which lift the effect up and turn it into acceptable modern entertainment.
In the original effect, a committee was invited on the stage to examine a solid steel plate. Then circular drawstring curtains were placed at the front and the rear, the magician walked behind... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish listPDF |
