Here is an amazing and entertaining magic act that runs a full five minutes, yet it leaves the audience wanting more. An ebook every magician should have. Chuck Smith's routine includes beautiful vanishes, appearances and color change transformations. It looks so incredible to the audience, yet the entire act relies on only two, easy-to-master sleights. Everything can be examined (should the performer wish) before and after ... the thimbles really are ungimmicked.

If you're an enterprising conjuror, use the corporate colors of your sponsor for the color changes for even more applause. Also...

If you've ever thought of presenting magic with thimbles, this is the ebook for you. Chock full of sleights, flourishes, manipulations, routines and ideas you'll want to add to your act. Magic with thimbles is something that many of today's audiences haven't had the pleasure of seeing, which makes it new and different to them.

A fascinating sleight-of-hand trick anyone can perform.

Here is a clever routine of real sleight-of-hand which can be performed "right under their noses" without years of tedious practice, without special equipment, and without mechanical aids. No trick thimbles are necessary and you can perform at any time and anywhere — before a large group or across the dinner table. Whether you’re seven or seventy, you’ll enjoy fooling people with this real "magic".

42 actual photographs of a professional magician's hands in action and full written descriptions show and tell you everything...

Excerpt from the Introduction:

This in combination with Routined Manipulation Part Two and Routined Manipulation Finale is one of the best magic books ever published. Each routine is clearly explained mostly with photos and some illustrations. Many classic effects are described in detail. And the essay "Presentation of Manipulation"...

Audley Walsh teaches you two wonderful routines including script ("The big bad wolf and the three little pigs" and "Time marches onward") plus a set of sponge ball moves. He uses a bell which he and the spectator ring several times during the routine. This is a very interesting idea for misdirection as well as camouflaging moves and palms.

The moves you will learn are

• finger palm or finger pinch
• finger pinch with two sponge balls
• pick up
• ring the bell
• thimble move
• sleeving
• lapeling
