DESCRIPTION
As a magician, your audience expects you to be able to produce articles from an unsuspecting helper's clothing while he is assisting you on stage. And the more incongruous the item, the bigger the audiences' surprise and laughter. In this classic guide, Eddie Joseph draws on 25 years of experience to provide you with a roadmap to success in the field. Every aspect of the art of "body loading and productions" is covered - from the various types of articles produced to the actual techniques, methods of concealment, and all-important timing and misdirection. This is a must-have resource for every working magician. Now completely retypeset, 40 big pages.
