George Schindler shows the amateur ma- gician how to mystify informal groups with such foolproof miracles as "The Vanishing Salt Shaker," "The Floating Dinner Roll," "The Torn and Restored Napkin," plus a variety of others. Matches, plates, coins, cigarettes, straws, candles-there are dozens of objects that can be used effectively in close- up magical entertainment, and all the items mentioned in this book will be found at the dinner table at home or in a restaurant.
Schindler gives advice on what a magician should say while doing his tricks, how to get the audience to participate, how to develop the "professional" touch, and what the art of misdirection is all about. A valuable section on the techniques of entertainment will help the beginner advance rapidly. And over 100 illustrations make every move crystal clear.
This book will enable the reader, young or old, to beguile friends and relatives at the dinner table with dozens of seeming "miracles." It will also be useful to salesmen, teachers, bartenders, businessmen, and anyone else who would like to be able to do a few foolproof magic tricks when the occasion arises, without having to carry equipment around.
George Schindler is a nationally known magical entertainer. He is co-founder of the School for Magicians in New York and a past president of the Society of American Magicians. He has written and lectured extensively for the magical fraternity. His last book was Magic With Cards.
