Looking for a source explaining wide-ranging magic effects? You've found it here! Eric Hawkesworth's A Magic Variety Show is a great book dedicated to creating an act containing multiple styles of traditional magic. These styles include Close-up magic, Stage Magic, Illusions, and Predictions. Also covered are magic's "fringe" arts: Paper Tearing, Drawing Ambiguous Images, Shadowgraph, etc. This book doesn't stop there -- Showmanship and Presentation are also covered.
