Dai Vernon's Tribute to Nate LeipzigLewis Ganson & Dai VernonThis is a fascinating combination of biographical detail and carefully described magical secrets researched and recorded by Dai Vernon and Lewis Ganson. Vernon was an intimate friend of Leipzig.

Bar MagicD. Angelo FerriDennis writes: I worked as a "Magic Bartender" for several years, tricks have to be simple, entertaining, and ideally employ common objects.

He uses sound to control the perception of the spectator, The Hat Load begins with a coin trick based upon Don Alan's Hat Load but my mechanics for loading the hat are based upon Slydini's System of movement. My Copper and Silver Transposition employs a slightly modified version of John... | $14.95 to wish list | |
