Excerpt from the Preface:

You get three types of magician welcomes. The first is a 25 second track. The second one starts with "Your magician for this evening..." and is 44 seconds long. The third is a welcome for each state of the US: "And now it's my great pleasure to present the number one magician in ..." followed by the state name. You get a version for each state name.

For an explanation track that allows you to listen to the main voice used in the Magic Enhancer tracks, please see our free ebook page under the Audio & Audio-Book heading.

This ebook contains reproducible masters to use in marketing your magic or mentalism shows. The magic component of each piece ensures that the receiver keeps it and even shows others. You'll find simple origami templates with dotted fold lines (including the Hopping Frog introduced to the magic community by Michael Close); magic board games (some of which are designed so you can determine who wins and what they win); and seldom-seen optical illusions. Originally published as a book of magic tricks for making a trainer's handout more memorable, this collection now waits for you to add your contact information...

Very well done strolling, walk-around, or restaurant magic. The effects are clear and have a strong impact, and most don't require any difficult moves. The first third of the book provides some general discussion of getting restaurant work and how to promote yourself. Beautiful illustrations have been drawn by Tony Dunn.
