Secrets of a Commercial Card MagicianPaul Gordon"I have seen Paul performing many times now and I am amazed how he can captivate an audience with just one pack of ungimmicked playing cards.

He takes a back up pack of cards and sometimes a couple of close up items and he is set for complete show." - Martin BreeseThis is a recording of Martin Breese interviewing Paul Gordon.

ImpromptuE. Brian MacCarthyFrom the Foreword: This is a book of impromptu effects. The word "impromptu" has been taken to mean that no apparatus nor fakes need be carried; the performer relies on obtaining one or two objects which either he will probably be carrying on his person, such as coins; or will most certainly be instantly available wherever he may be; such as cards. Simple preparation, as for instance tearing a slit in a borrowed envelope, is allowable, but no more. It is obvious that the word "impromptu" cannot mean "requiring no practice". Any effect, however simple, requires that. But as long as the reader... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
