Magic & Conjuring: page 259

When performance opportunities from brochures, flyers and other marketing activities slow down you need to pick up the phone. Cold calling has played a major role in almost every industry. These calls fill cancellations in schedules, book shows while traveling from city to city, and can help fill those calendars during the slow months. When you find yourself waiting for the phone to ring there is no reason you cannot make a few calls and book yourself. The materials in this text will get you started.

Ken de Courcy and Billy McComb took an old chemical effect, figured out the secret that makes it work reliably, and worked out all the other kinks, to make it ready for real world performances. The effect reads like one from Lubor Fiedler.

Effect: The magician introduces a circle of yellow tissue paper and hands it to a spectator to crumple into a ball. He receives it back then, holding it at his fingertips, concentrates on it for a few moments. The tissue ball is placed on an ashtray then ... it suddenly bursts into flames and burns away.

Waters, Punx, Bob Baker, Lee Earle, Jim Magus, and others, and of course Scott Davis himself. It is a great source for performances during Halloween and other spooky or bizarre performances. ...

The Penrose knot has never been clearly explained until now. A strange effect that is not only made fun by the supplied script, but an "in the hands" tying method is revealed.

The magician ties a rope into a chain of 30 knots. Each knot appears identical.

The spectator grabs one of the knots. The magician now pulls on the ends of the rope, and every knot dissolves - except - the knot the spectator selected. That knot proves to be a common overhand knot.

The Penrose knot was published in Karl Fulves' Self Working Rope Tricks, but the description was less-than-clear, and the effect is quite strange. ...

"Just watched Q&A Evolution again. Man, is it packed with subtleties and insights from someone who has been doing Q&A for 20 years. Also made up a set of the Evolution cards and have been practicing the moves. It doesn't take long at all to get the moves down smoothly. Everything takes place in your hands, right in front of the audience. And in the case of a one-on-one reading, literally right under their noses. The combination of the Q&A Evolution System cards and the readings framework Scott teaches allows you to do unique, one-on-one readings for one person, or many. The more I work with...

Now, Mr. James has largely retired from performing and has begun to lecture for magicians. Selling the Tough Stuff are the lecture notes from his 2nd lecture series.

Larry Jennings, Ken Krenzel, Jim Patton and Gordon Bruce would agree. They all attended his past lecture.
