Comedy Magic: page 2

A comedy card on seat routine with a twist.

This one is an absolute killer! Scott's Comedy Card on Seat routine uses a different method from the well-known Chuck Fayne or gaffed chair routines. The audience participant joins you up front and sits in an ordinary chair. Then, while you look away, he selects and signs a card, replaces it anywhere he wants in the deck and thoroughly shuffles the deck before returning it to you. After some fun, and very amusing byplay, the card vanishes, followed by a kick-in-the-head moment that NOBODY sees coming, before it is revealed that he is SITTING on...

Inside this 100 page ebook you will find collected together the articles featured on top names such as John Archer, Paul Daniels, Paul Zenon, Mel Mellers, Graham P....

Here is another comedy magic book by Val Andrews. In this one you can find all sort of magic and comedy material suited for cabaret of floor shows. Let's have a look at the introduction...

This was the first magic video Martin Breese released. While it was not the first instructional magic video tape (that honor goes to a 1971 video featuring Dai Vernon), it was certainly among the very first ones to appear and find relative wide distribution both in the US and UK.

This instructional video is designed specifically for the Cabaret entertainer. An hour long with full explanations of each effect. Terry Seabrooke gives away some of his cherished secrets and more important the reasons why and how. Also includes a pretty clever unpublished mentalism routine by Al Koran. Terry's versions of the Chinese...

Don't expect to be stumbling from one hilarious line to another. Many lines and bits are dated, but perhaps carry a funny seed and can be modernized with some thought. As always with such joke compilations, if you find one or two that fit your style, you have received your money's worth.

1st edition 1946, 1st digital edition 2013, 20 pages.

Filled with one-liners and funny bits. Some lines have aged to the point where they are not funny anymore. Others perhaps were never really funny to begin with. A few still carry a good laugh. One of the best parts is the Comedy Mind Reading Act.

This is a biting parody of the UK magic magazine Budget, the organ of the British Ring of the IBM. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1989. To understand all the fun they are poking at you will have to have read some of the Budget issues.

This is a parody of a magic dealer catalog. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues.

This is a parody of an IBM convention program. The parody was published by Geoff Maltby of Repro Magic. It was a supplement to one of the Club 71 issues in 1991. If you have attended your fair share of conventions you will probably laugh a lot. I am not sure why this is in particular targeted at the IBM. Less than well organized conventions are not limited to any organization.
