Bob Parrish Lecture #2

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Leslie Warren (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 06 September, 2023)

These are old style lecture notes. Bob Parrish provides ideas that he has used in his act. There are no pictures just a brief written description. I liked his linking ring idea. Maybe other people will find an idea that is worth gold.

An Evening With Charlie Miller

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

This title is much more a Masterclass than a simple book.

Buried within this gem is a gimmick-less version of the Sympathetic Cards. From Nate Leipzig to Jörg Alexander, Orville Meyer and Derek Dingle, performers went the way of the gimmicked cards. Charlie Miller went… sleight of hand. And it works, it is sound, it is wonderful. And Robert Parrish, the author, does explain the thinking behind this approach.

The first item is a real nugget. Mr. Miller takes an early version of the coin matrix - the two covers and four objects trick, detailed in Henry Hay’s The Amateur Magician’s Handbook - essentially a 2D tabletop effect - and morphs it into a 3D extravaganza which is a deception of the same order as Bob Read’s Bottle Production. With hats and mugs. And hats are coming back in fashion…

You’ll learn an open billet peek, a Sun and Moon variation, and some card effects. Again, with integral dissection from Mr. Parrish.

Highly recommended.

Hats are back in fashion... Mugs and Hats inspired the great Bob Read; and yet is totally different from Read’s work - and an absolute blast. If you know Read, there’s no need to add anything; if you do not know Read, you are in for a treat.
