Milt Kort is a legend of sorts: a magician who has seldom traveled outside the Detroit area, who rarely performs at magicians conventions or lectures, yet a man whom the professionals and greats in magic came to see; men like Paul Rosini, Dr. Daley, J.B. Bobo, Charlie Miller, Cardini, Dai Vernon, and many more sought out Milt Kort and shared secrets with him. But why? Milt was a pharmacist by trade, not a professional magician. The answer lies in the word love. It was his great love of magic that drew magic's greats to him. Magic has been Milt's abiding passion since childhood, and he always did it for the love of it, for the fun of it, not for the money or the fame in it. And fun and mystery are what his book, Kort is about. Well, there was one other reason they came; Milt often fooled them with devishly clever tricks of his own invention. These tricks are in great part what Kort is about. They all fall within the realm of close-up magic, Milts main love, and they use such mundane items as playing cards, coins, dice, balls, razor blades, eggs, handkerchiefs, pens and toy elephants. What happens with those items, though, is anything but mundane. Using skills and techniques mainly in the range of the average close-up enthusiast, Milt Kort offers 46 of his most baffling and entertaining tricks and routines to his fellow hobbyists and lovers of magic. Professional magicians can use Milts magic too--but there is one rule, Kort's First Principle: Have fun! Kort is 376 pages in hard cover copiously illustrated by Sandy Kort.
