Sid LorraineSid LorraineThis 60 minute recording includes the very best of the great Sid Lorraine. This is a happy mix of talk about magicians, how he got started in magic, heavily interspersed with magic you can do. There is a substitute for the pass, a gold fish bowl production (without the bowl), a card trick that baffled Blackstone. Craige Snader in Magic Sounds said: "...it is great value as you get a magic lecture by one of the greats that you can listen to over and over. A great tape for study or just pleasant listening." This is a digitally re-mastered (MP3) version of the original MagiCassette™ released... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish listMP3 | |
