Magic as a HobbyBruce Elliott![]() Tricks for amateur performers. Excerpt from the foreword by Orson Welles: It is entirely possible that this excellent book should never have been published - not like this; anyway, not for general sale.

The kind they give away with the box top off a breakfast cereal, and this kind of book, which tells explicitly and with pictures - so the reader can really get the hang of them - valuable secrets of professional magic. In brief, I'm sorry that this one is so very good but I'd be honestly sorrier if it were bad. At the outset it should... | $15 to wish list | |

Strange CommandJ. Stewart Smith![]() Excerpt from the Foreword: This book is intended for those men who have made a study of card magic.
