Here’s a beautifully-produced book of intriguing material by an experienced performer who loves his art. In his previous book, The Art of Illusion, Will Ayling fascinated us with his detailed explanations of the illusions he has performed over the years. Not only is it an inspiration to all those who asp ire to this form of the art, but it is absorbing reading for everyone interested in magic.

Now here is a new book written in the same entertaining manner but which deals with magic for the general practitioner … for you, for me, for everyone who stands up or sits down with the intention of entertaining with mystery.

All the effects are practical, audience-tested and commercial. All the chapters in this book deal with magic which can and has been performed to the general public who paid to see it.

Magicians like to see it too because it is good magic, always with the accent on entertainment.

With an introduction by LEWIS GANSON, and with dozens of fine illustrations by L.B. EDMUNDS,
this is a well-produced publication you will delight to own and refer to often.

Chapter 1. ‘DINNER HAS BEEN SERVED’. Magic you will enjoy performing under cabaret conditions. – Smart, sophisticated entertainment.

Chapter 2. features , ‘MAGIC IN CHARACTER’. Here the accent is on presentation. A little ‘dressing-up’ turns clever magical effects into really memorable ones.

Chapter 3 presents ‘INTIMATE’, Close-up, Magic that you can perform “under their noses”.

Chapter 4 is ‘MAGIC FOR THE YOUNGSTERS’, and Will Ayling’s recipe for children’s magic which will meet with much favorable response.

Chapter 5. ‘LILLIPUTIANS’, opens up a new door of opportunity by providing a complete entertainment with puppets. Anyone who will take the trouble to make the fit-ip will have something out of the ordinary, a new source of financial benefit and certainly something which can make a name for any magician with initiative. The story of ‘Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp’ is really brought to life with many exciting ‘bits of business’ and by-play.

Chapter 6. ‘CAROUSEL’, presents the full working details of some great outside features. The Human
Dragonfly and two sensational escape methods.

Chapter 7 embraces a lucrative and almost unexplored avenue for the performer. Entitled ‘HAPPY TALKIE’ here are novel ideas for the magician who wishes to present his entertainment as a lecture to many groups of people who are willing to pay to hear it.

Next comes Chapter 8. ‘SATURDAY NIGHT SPECTACULAR with the ‘big stuff, the ‘Bucket Ducks’, a
‘Funny Rope Tie’, ‘Chair Back Suspension’, ‘Vanishing Lady’, ‘Costume Escape’, ‘The Golden Shot’, and much more.

Finally, there’s ‘Last Words’ … wise words … to help you with your magic.

This is a valuable book because of the excellence of the magic it contains and because it gets right down to the business of showing you How to substantially increase the number of paid engagements which you get. It does this without in any way detracting from the status of magic as an art.
