Is there anyone who has not read and used one of Jack Avis's five hundred published items, and surely there is no self-respecting card magician who today would not include Roy Walton's \"The Collectors\" or \"Card Warp\" in his repertoire?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis book includes all the effects that were first described in 193 in a small publication called Come a Little Closer; effects that have stood the test of time and are still being presented today. But the contributors have also included many more routines that have been developed during the last forty years, a considerable number being published for the first time, and others that are currently in use by their originators such as John Derris's \"Staggering\" and Ted Danson's \"Diary Trick.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIf you love close-up magic, you will find material between these covers that you can use - some requiring the basic skill needed by any practicing close-up worker, but all requiring presentation - the very essence of good magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe book is a tribute to the deep fellowship that often comes with the practice of magic, a fellowship that has lasted in this case since the '50s. It is in this environment of a shared passion that fine magic is often evolved, and I am certain that you will sense this as you read the thinking, inventiveness and comments of a group of magicians who early on found their own serendipity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSession One\u003c\/b\u003e . . .
