Magic That Is MagicLoring Campbell From the Author's Note:
I do not claim everything in the pages following to be original, but I do say that every trick and routine in this book has been used and tried by me and that everything here is audience tested and will go over with an audience. Perhaps the thousands of Magicians all over North America who have seen my shows in the past 22 years will recall having seen me perform many of these effects. | 2019 / 2 / 19 | $8.00 Au$11.83 Ca$10.98 €7.29 £6.44 ¥893.77 | to wish list | ||
This Is MagicLoring Campbell Nicely illustrated routines of a full time performer.
From the introduction: "Why don’t you write a book on Magic?" I have been asked this question hundreds of times in the past several years, and my answer has been that I am too busy, or that I wanted to be the only Magician who did not write a Magic Book! | 2016 / 2 / 28 | $8.00 Au$11.83 Ca$10.98 €7.29 £6.44 ¥893.77 | to wish list |
