Webb ManiaGregg WebbFrom the Foreword: Magic is changing and a lot of the reason for this is that people's attention spans are shorter because of the pace of life today and more distractions. We don't have the luxury of people dying for entertainment. There is too much entertainment and to compete, we have to get to the point quicker. If you look at my magic a certain way, it is a direct result of chipping away at long tricks trying to distill them down. The format follows Gregg's established style of illustrations and hand-lettered text.

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.
