Every year or two someone raises the cry "Magic is dead!" and the other twin wail "There are too many magicians!" I have been listening to these SOUR GRAPES for nearly 30 years, and it give me a positive and distinct pain in the neck! …Magic is a long way from being dead...in fact, it is more alive right now than I ever knew it to be. There are more magi playing more dates, for more money right now than ever in my lifetime, so I'd hardly call that "dead"...would you? Too many magicians, you say? That's a laugh1 i never heard of singers, dancers, musicians, comic etc., complaining in this manner, at least not when times are good, yet there are THOUSANDS more of each of these performers than there are of magicians. This book was written for those who do want tomake more money with magic, or to be more popular, or to make more sales or to gain more business in other lines. Most of you will get your monies worth out of any three or four of these ideas...THERE ARE SIXTY-FOUR!
