A script and methodology for doing the classic Clippo trick that will make you and your audience appreciate the beauty and mystery of a small, easy to carry trick.

In this manuscript, you'll learn:

• why Clippo fails to get a good reaction
• how to make Clippo
• the script
• even some of the script writing and design process followed

Eine neue Interpretation des klassischen Kunststückes, bei dem Baumnüsse in ein Glas wandern.

Der Vorführende outet sich als süchtig nach frischen Baumnüssen. In Phasen, in denen er nicht von seiner Sucht beherrscht wird, verwendet er Baumnüsse auch zum Zaubern. Dies demonstriert er, indem er versucht, drei Nüsse in ein Glas wandern zu lassen, zunächst ohne Erfolg. Mit Hilfe eines Nussknackers und einer Röhre gelingt ihm dies schliesslich. Dann erzählt er, wie er beim Üben von einem Eichhörnchen auf dem Fenstersims beobachtet wurde (ein Plüsch-Eichhörnchen wird auf den Tisch...

This was the first book that had his pseudonym, Professor Hoffmann, as well as his real name, Angelo J. Lewis, on the cover.
