A lecture in the art of close-up magic.
Excerpt from the introduction by Val Andrews:
One of the most interesting "characters" in the London Magic Scene, as well as being one of the most good-natured men I've ever met.... that's Bobby. A great magical enthusiast, a great talker, the centre of every gathering he attends (though not of his own choosing).... that's Bobby.
Always he has retained this keeness for what he calls "Magic in Miniature" and this has been the one anchor of an otherwise erratic young man.
His great enthusiasm, for practically everything, and his willingness to perform his clever close up feats plus a most encyclopaedic knowledge of "Jewish Stories" make Bobby grand company.
