DESCRIPTION
Conjuring secrets for magicians who entertain when surrounded by spectators. Compiled in the 1940s after many years of studying the best street magicians in England, France, Germany, Australia and the United States, Huggins reveals the ingenious methods behind their most popular miracles. Material includes the production of a guinea pig from a hat while surrounded, the production of a full glass of water from under a handkerchief on a boy's head, the Cap and Pence, marking cards on the fly, several card changes, 20th Century Silks, a startling Cups and Balls routine, a Four Ace trick with a boy from the crowd where after the aces vanish and some entertaining biplay, the boy discovers the missing cards in his own pocket, and more! In addition to explaining the mechanics of well over a dozen effects, Huggins also points out the all important timing and misdirection that elevate these effects into the miracle class for astonished onlookers. A treasure trove of material, ideas and inspiration for any working magician. 17 pages, re-typeset.
