The purpose of this book is to teach magicians how to become entertainers with their magic. This is not a book of magic tricks, but an education on how to present magic as it should be presented. From selecting your tricks to routining your act, John shows you all the ins and outs. If you're already a pro or if you're just starting out, Close-Up Presentation has something for you. John has even included a chapter on how to fool your fellow magicians. This needs to be in your library. Included Chapters: Selecting Your Tricks, Practice, Presentation, Working Conditions, Routining a Trick, Routining the Act, and Money Magic and Magicians.
