Wizardry with WatchesOswald Rae![]() From the foreword: Watches have always played a certain part in Magic, but the watch was usually a borrowed one. The excellent "prop" watches now on the market, manufactured of course exclusively for conjuring purposes, open up almost a new era in watch magic.

With the exception of those described under "Some Suggestions" all the effects have been actually worked, and the various stands described are easily... | $4 to wish list | |

Happy Magic Part 1Charles Waller![]() From the Introduction: Here, as always, I have assembled a varied lot of material in the hope that all tastes will be satisfied. It is all original; or as much so as conjuring creations usually are. I am particular in this regard, for I am almost morbidly sensitive to any charge of "piracy."
