Senor Mardo
The Hands Only by Senor Mardo

This is clever, usable magic for table or close-up work with a minimum of skill and an emphasis on misdirection and subtle presentation. In all, a twenty-minute act or superb table routine.

In Transfix, The Pervious Coin, Extortion, Creeping and a Wrinkle on the Miser's Dream, you get some fine coin routines; and in Uncanny Rags, an Afghan Band presentation that segues into a rope routine.

The effects are accompanied by illustrations by the author.

Applause by Senor Mardo

Sixteen beautiful routines, moves, and effects that, like the title says, will earn you plenty of audience applause. Most of the audience-pleasing routines use props that you likely already own, such as a Vanishing Cane, Comedy Funnel, Liquid Appear, silks, rope, magic wand, and other standard items.

Plus, Mardo tips a trio of coin effects that use standard coins and a modicum of sleights to accomplish the magic. And a swell card flourish that was later featured in the movie "The Sting," starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

You get over a dozen effects and moves with coins, silks, thimbles, balls, cigarettes and a complete explanation of Mardo's improved gimmick for the Chinese Rice Bowls that will make you want to add it to your show. This is baffling, thrilling, entertaining magic with headline appeal.
