Mainly Manipulative MagicJohn Alborough From the introduction by Lewis Ganson: Seeing the late Edward Victor on stage at the now defunct Metropolitan Theatre in Edgware Road, London, when John was a small boy, started his interest in magic.

Ron MacMillan's Symphony of the SpheresLewis Ganson At the Annual Convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (British Ring) at Scarborough in 1957, an unknown magician walked away
with the First Prize - The British Ring Shield. The manipulative act which

Here was something new in manipulative magic, and there was much speculation as to the means whereby balls could be "stolen" so cleanly, without a hint being given of their original secret location, or... | 2009 / 9 / 11 | $9.00 to wish list |
